Effective LinkedIn outreach: Send CV, state interest directly.

Published on 10/30/2025 Hiring & Talent Acquisition Insights

The user is struggling with unanswered LinkedIn InMails to recruiters when proposing 'coffee chats' and is getting few OAs or interviews. The opportunity lies in making their outreach significantly more effective. The key advice is to stop suggesting casual 'coffee chats' and instead send a tailored CV/resume directly, clearly stating interest in specific roles or the company, and briefly highlighting how their qualifications align. This direct, professional approach is more likely to yield results (increased response rates, more interview invitations) than informal networking requests, leading to a more efficient job search.
