Seems a little presumptuous to assume that the decline in outreach was personal and not associated with the heavy decline in companies hiring during uncertain times.

> I was still getting tons of messages after covid and shelter in place started. My snapshot is from 2 months ago, not 4 months ago. Covid definitely caused some drop-off but not much tbh, I still got a ton of recruiters who are playing the long game.

Covid lockdowns started 4 months ago. Companies took longer to react. Google only rescinded contractor offers end of May. My organization was hiring right through April. Things take time to propagate.

I'm not sure whether I agree or disagree. I was just providing extra context from the Twitter poster, because Twitter is not good for context.

Yeah, my linkedin recruiter messages dropped significantly especially for management roles and I changed nothing. I'd say the drop began 1-2 months after covid started and only began recovering now. Seems to lineup with when he did his test.
