Recruiters on LinkedIn: answer every candidate, without sending spam
Recruiters drown in LinkedIn replies: "what is the salary?", "is it hybrid?", "can we talk Thursday?". Those answers sit in a job brief already. An AI agent can reply to candidates who message you, book screening calls and keep your pipeline moving. It should not be used to send hundreds of cold messages, which is exactly what LinkedIn restricts.
What customers ask on LinkedIn
- What is the salary range for this role?
- Is it remote, hybrid or in the office?
- Can you tell me the company name?
- Do they sponsor visas?
- Can we have a call this week?

Can it message people who are not connections?
A normal message goes to a 1st-degree connection. Anyone else needs a connection request or an InMail.
