People who are hiring the best are hunters...
In my experience people who are hiring are often greatly confused about all things related to hiring. Hunters is not the word I would use.

They also seem to be clueless about the roles they’re hiring for. I’ve been contacted by many recruiters who can’t even answer the simple question what role they’re trying to fill or in which company.
Many recruiters are reluctant to answer which company because, if you knew, you might circumvent them and apply directly.
I’ve found it’s easy to do this anyway because the tricks they use to obfuscate the job description tend to be predictable. The original job posting can usually be found within a minute. That’s also without using AI search tools, which might be faster.
One recruiter said the hiring company would not pay more than the market average (which already seemed low). I asked if they were hiring average people. He dodged the question.

Excellent summary.
Bro, I just want to show up in the search queries. It probably won't ultimately get me a job I want, so there is that, but cast a wide net. Get those bots working.
Ideally you have a network of friends that work at great places which are hiring. If that is the case, congrats. For everyone else, be proud to be open to work.
What does deep-throating Shrek have to do with employment?
I've had ppl I know hiring or who know people whos job it is to hire (for jobs not relevant to me) tell me to turn it on.
I was thinking it was actually quite reasonable, until I realized the emoji isn't part of the banner he was talking about.
I’m way ahead of you, I quit LinkedIn 2 years ago. What a cesspool.
I really wish these assholes would give up on this "survival of the fittest" bullshit, that's not how society works. Motherfuckers heard the description of massive timescale evolution and thought, "omg that's so me!"
We have literally developed the means to completely bypass the struggles of our ancient ancestors and dominate the earth and this guy is talking about the efficacy of hunting versus gathering as though it has any applicability to modern life, and then he gets butthurt about being called out? I'd call him a tool but I don't want to overstate his usefulness.
Depends on the situation though, if you're hard to replace at you current position the banner might scare your manager and get you a raise
Im just gonna use the puke banner now
