Links to ArXiv.org papers or the like aside, most links these days are - to some extent - a bit of "content marketing" for something or someone. But some contain more useful information and insights than others. I actually found this piece relatively useful, in that the "realtor metaphor" really gave me a new insight into the mindset of a recruiter.

Honestly, I'd never taken the think to think through the math and realize the extent to which they care about volume more than optimizing any single deal. Thinking about it that way does shed some interesting light on things, IMO.

Anyway, I wouldn't call this post spam. It's not exactly long-form journalism or a "newly discovered work by Thoreau" but it doesn't really claim to be so either.
