What gets me is that they request a CV even though my whole work history is already on LI. My CV is just a reformatted LI profile. But then again, recruiters are mostly sociology, political science, or philosophy grads who chose an easy degree thinking they were clever and found themselves being used as a mop in the Victorian sweatshop that is the recruitment industry.

They require your cv for at least two reasons: 1) to figure out how serious you are, or do you expect they send a screenshot of your LinkedIn profile to their client? if you want to talk to their client, do your homework, if you can’t be bothered, well, will you be bothered when you join? 2) due diligence-are you who you say you are? is your cv in line with your LinkedIn, or are you just one of those AI generated clowns?
