Just saw this, sorry! Hope your job search is going well though.

I'd try chatting with recruiters on LinkedIn until you find one that clicks, so you'll be motivated to work with them. Even if a recruiter doesn't have an opportunity that's a match for you, mention something you genuinely appreciated about their style of working and ask if they know any other recruiters you should talk to.

Set a goal like "I'll do 5x 20 minute calls with new recruiters this week, then ask my favorite to introduce me to someone at <insert 2-3 companies you love>."

Avoid Cybercoders and similar high-volume agencies.
