I am a programmer in the US. Linkedin mails to me from recruiters -

2026 - one (recruiter did not name the company, hybrid six month contract in another city)

2025 - none

2024 - none

2023 - four (none after March)

2022 - twenty-seven (including Amazon, Google)

This just sounds like your Linkedin went stale for some reason or other. Do you have the Open to Work status? Or even just be active on there, apply to jobs, like posts or stuff like that?

I get plenty of messages from "recruiters" through LinkedIn. They're not particularly great, but I also only have a few years of experience

My work status hasn't changed since 2022 when I got all those recruit attempts. I log in at least once a week, thumbs up people's accomplishments and sometimes reply "Congratulations", same as I always did.

Other people I talk to said there has been a dropoff as well.

Funny, Amazon never contacted me, now after I'm 3 months in a new job, they did, but ain't paying half of how much I earn in this new one, and requires me to move to a major city in Brazil to work, sigh...
