Database. Right! That is one of the common reasons why recruiters ghost their prospects; the same reason why I do not personally know about 90% of my LinkedIn connections. 😄

In one of my previous jobs, I was having chitchat with our recruiters when they admitted being required by their manager to have at least 500 connections. They just sent connection requests in random to people they do not know. So that explained why I have countless connection requests from strangers with either HR, TA or recruiter on their title.
