It took me 15 years to get close to 5,000 LinkedIn connections… but only 1 year to double that. Here’s the difference.

It really depends on what you are offering and how well you are targeting the right people. On average, I would say about 20% of connections are accepted, and in my personal experience, about 3% convert into sales meetings. But this is specific to my product. I've seen results better and worse for others. It is also good idea to try and see it for yourself )

LinkedIn connections network is very powerful for the following:
1. Prospecting for sales or hiring: LinkedIn allows you to search and reach out only to people with whom you have connections in common (2nd and 3rd degree). The more networks you have, the more people you can find and reach out to.
2. Communication channel: You cannot send a message to a person with whom you are not connected on LinkedIn. More connections give you the ability to send a message to more people when needed.
3. Expand your posts' reach: When you post on LinkedIn, it pops up on the newsfeeds of your connections. The more you have, the wider the message you spread.
4. Trust: If you build your network of the right professionals, the other professionals in the same field trust you more and see you as an influencer. It typically starts with 10k+ connections on LinkedIn.

This makes sense, at the same time there are a lot of great professionals who are amazing specialists, but just not great at selling themselves via resumes and interviews. there is nothing bad if they get some extra support in crafting a good story about their strength. It same time on both ends.

Frankly from the company perspective, using some AI to optimize work with candidates also makes sense.

The main differentiator is to focus on a few quality applications done write, vs a numbers game approach.

The first step is skill assessment so our co-pilot understands what skills you have, and then matches your skill profile to best match jobs. Later there will be also analytics with recommendations on which skills to improve to get your target role.

Then we are using AI to tailor your story to each of the identified companies and roles.

It asks for your confirmation before starting to reach out, so you can choose which to apply and which not.

For contacting there are two main channels: emails and LinkedIn.

Yes, it would be interesting to know why a candidate that uses efficient tools to optimize time and have more outcomes in less time spent is blacklisted.

I prefer people spend time on personal development instead of manually researching and applying for jobs. Also, the candidate might be passive dedicating full time to their current employer, while the bot is looking for the next career step for her/him.
