In today's highly competitive tech job market, candidates are looking for ways to stand out and differentiate themselves. DMs to recruiters are ineffective due to saturation.
Katie McIntyre pointed out that in the current employer-driven market, 'applications have largely become irrelevant', making direct outreach to executives a more effective strategy.
Career consultants recommend that candidates skip the recruiter DMs and go straight to the CEO or hiring manager, especially in smaller companies where it's more feasible.
McIntyre highlighted that reaching out to recruiters directly on LinkedIn results in competition with '400 other people', diminishing the chances of a meaningful connection.
