In this segment, the speaker explains that LinkedIn’s connection limits—approximately 800 new connections per month, or 20‑30 per day—create a bottleneck for recruiters trying to quickly gather candidate CVs. Because only a few dozen connections can be sent each day, recruiters may see slow results early in a campaign. To overcome this limitation, the speaker recommends shifting to high‑volume email outreach, noting that a recruiter can send around 2,000 emails in a single day, which can generate a much larger and faster influx of candidate responses.

you're going to want to get results quicker. And we know the bottleneck for this is 800 connections per month on LinkedIn, unless you increase the amount of marketing sources that you have on it, which is an option, but even so you're going to be limited to 20 to 30 per day. So that means 800 across the month, but really you're only sending 30 connections per day. So you might be 3, 4 days in and they're thinking, right, where are our CVs? And you're going, well, only 100 connections have gone out. So the way to solve that is we look at emails. Because you can send 2,000 emails out in one day and you're gonna get a lot of candidates coming in straight off the back of that.
