I remember I used to get tons of recruiters pitching sales roles. Ever since I put my consulting biz on my LI, it's been crickets. Maybe I should remove it? ๐

Mentioning side hustle on LI killing recruiter interest?

Im just waiting for IG to add a "jobs" tab so I can delete LinkedIn...
Yeah I would, unless you are getting busy via LinkedIn to your side hustle
There was a similar post this week. I would leave it only if you are covering a job gap.
Take it off and track the difference. Little A/B test.
Might worry folks about divided attention and longevity.

I dont even update LI, if a recruiter saw mine they probably think im unemployed.
I just think it's been a bit more quiet on recruitment side recently
It will hurt.
It's hit or miss. Some recruiters love it but others worry that you focus on side hustle instead of W2.
Two sides of the coin but it's a good way to filter workplaces that support you

Even if they did reach out itโs likely they would just ghost you after getting you pulled in.
Maybe run your own test, remove it, and see if it makes any difference.
I've noticed recruiting is sporadic these days, so it's also possible that recruitment has dropped off and it has nothing to do with the consulting.
Final point: if you're relying on recruiters to bring you the best opportunities, it might be a wait.

Test it and you would know in a few weeks :)
Take it off and see what happens. I have always wondered whether or not you should keep the side gigs on LI - because I would love to. I just never dared to.
I would only leave it on it if itโs necessary
