Ask HN: Joined FAANG, immediately stopped getting recruiter messages?

My guess is that recruiters know not to spend their time trying to recruit someone who just started a new job. I suspect you'll start seeing those emails again in ~3-6 months (around the time when people who start a new job are deciding if they really want to stay with that company), and again in ~2 years (around the time when people decide to look for new opportunities). I'm not a recruiter, so take that with a grain of salt.

LinkedIn Recruiter [0] is backed by a mature algorithm that recognizes these patterns. The application quite literally recommends the optimal candidates to poach. It also guesses who's profiles are out of date (e.g. if news breaks that company A lays off 20% of sales staff, then current sales people from A are more likely to be suggested for some company B's recruiting funnel).

This. I've never worked at FAANG, but recruiter spam stops for some time whenever I change companies.

Agree, that was my thought too. They seem to come back a few months into a job.
