    Exactly like I described. They shotgun doctored resumes at companies, hoping a few stick and they get paid for it. Getting DMs from these doesn’t mean you have job offers. It means someone wants to include you in their barrage-which means they identified you as having a pulse

      Ah. There are two types of these. The national ones that put up a few hundred “local” listings for the same job, skim off the top, and hope to make a cut. Then there are actual local ones that build relationships with companies with businesses in the area and actually find proper talent instead of playing a numbers game. The way they make money is the same, but the former is definitely much less of a sure thing.
