times sadly changed very quickly in 18 months. Recruiters are flooded with applicants, they won't respond as often to a cold message. I would indeed say it worked maybe 7/10 times for me in 2019-2023, but this year it's been barely 2/10.
Some are just "ghost jobs", some are on a hiring freeze but want to look like they are growing. Some may simply be apathetic. I had recruiters contact me, schedule a call, and then ghost the call and any follow ups. That's unheard of for me in 2023 or before.
