Yeah it's a good question, most of mine are direct or recruiters. You have someone with "franchise" in their title, guess what... you get pitched a franchise. Idk what I was thinking.

edit: part of it in my rationale is "being nice" but yeah I mostly use LinkedIn to get a job

Recruiters typically have pro memberships meaning they can message you directly without being connected to you.

Yeah I mean I'm not searching for them, they're asking to connect to me

edit: ratio is about 25% recruiters

was interesting though I recently accepted a new role and out of the 30+ talks in a month about 95%+ were LinkedIn. The conversion for me was 10% actual interview phase, then where I actually got a job was Hired. -- some jobs wrong tech or I was not qualified for
