Getting messages from recruiter on Linkedin

[Raymond Lin]

I am NOT active on LinkedIn, in fact I've not updated it in years. Yesterday I got a vague message from someone. I ignored it and today he called me directly on my mobile. My number is not on my LinkedIn page, I guess he must have did some digging after sending the message on LinkedIn.

My question is are these people for real? I guess they work on commission for every person they get put in front of who they hired them. (and is it a scam?)

Hi Raymond,

I am working with a Senior opportunity for an Iconic Brand that is looking to grow their Creative function.

It is a brand you will know.

Whenever you next have 2 minutes I would be eager to talk you through what my client can offer you.

What is the best number to reach you on?

Tell him to give you the job spec and company name so you can figure out if you're interested. If he won't do that then block him.

And update your LinkedIn so at least if people look you up it's based on current info.

I always go back and ask for a job spec, salary bracket and whether it's remote/hybrid/on-site and if they aren't willing to answer those then I don't deal with them.

Cheers, I will do that.
