Mind you, this is taking away a critical feature that my company has already paid for. If it's not bad enough that all the work involved in researching these crazy difficult to find targets nets extremely low response rates, now LinkedIn is further eroding our Recruiter's productivity by taking away the ability to InMail batches of people at one time. In such cases LinkedIn gives Recruiters a warning the first time and puts them on a 14 day no bulk InMail punishment period for the second offense. Average response rates for these recruiters often falls below this mark.

Now for many Recruiters working on your fairly routine to fill hiring needs, that's not an issue, however for those highly skilled Recruiters specializing in finding your unicorns and purple squirrels of the software industry, this is becoming a big problem. InMail response rates have continued to drop, year after year, and now to make things even worse, LinkedIn came up with the brilliant idea of of banning recruiters from doing bulk InMails if their InMail Response Rates fall below 13%. I've been using LinkedIn Recruiter for over 15 years now and it's sad to see what was once a game changer for recruiting high in demand talent has now been diminished to a very average at best solution, which frankly is way overpriced. I have lived long enough to see giant companies who felt people couldn't do without them become insignificant. So if restricting my account is to 'punish' people and display power it will certainly backfire. No employer would hold it against any candidate who doesn't have a LinkedIn profile. There are so many important things in life than being on a social medial platform especially the one that treats people appallingly. LinkedIn may feel dominants in this space today, its just a matter of time before a better platform is launched my someone on the sideline seeing the appealing way LinkedIn currently operates.

I do hope someone is working in the 'underground' to come up with a better professional platform where people are treated with respect and where they have a great customer service that people can reach out to.
There is something about how they operate in a 'controlling' and bullish manner that makes me wonder whether this may be a blessing in disguise. I still haven't heard back, I have never posted anything on LinkedIn (ever) I merely like comments and careful of what I 'like' and be respectful yet I have been temporarily restricted and efforts to get a response to my email has been ignored. Reading through people's comments I now see I am not alone. The feeling of being controlled, almost a power trip is very unsettling for me. For the first time in 17 years, I am not questioning whether I actually need LinkedIn in my life. I had also recently opted for the premium (thank God I did not use my credit card but used PayPal) I have been able to cancel my subscription. Not heard back, no response to my numerous emails, not a word. I was asked to provide my ID although I felt uncomfortable doing it, decided to do it hoping I wont regret it. Out of nowhere, I tried to log in and found out that I have been temporarily restricted, no reason given. I have had the account for over 17 years and have been respectful and rarely active on it. My LinkedIn account was temporarily restricted without warning.
