Taylor Desseyn shares a LinkedIn outreach tactic that gets responses: instead of vague DMs, message hiring or engineering leaders with three specific reasons you're a strong fit for their posted role. This approach markedly increased response rates.

He said he was having major problems getting people to respond back to him. He goes, I was sending vague messages. But then what happens is he would take the job that was posted, he would then search the company on LinkedIn, start DMing engineering leaders or whatever group it is. I saw the job posting. I don't know if you're hiring for this, but here are 3 reasons why I'm a really good fit based off the role posted. Let me know if you want to talk. And he said his response rate shot up.
