Great start!

LinkedIn was so great at engagement at one time, but it feels like it went a bit too far which has created [I think] a negative flywheel.

I accepted invitations from those who seems like were playing the game of some trying to get as many connections as possible. My once valuable LinkedIn Rolodex has degraded because I don't recognize most of my connections. I was getting endorsements from people I haven't known since I was a kid. They clearly aren't qualified to endorse me. And as mentioned, spam begets spam when it comes to recruiting. Recruiters take a machine gun approach to reaching out to candidates. Candidates understandably start ignoring those inmails. The recruiters then increase the # of people they reach out to, which then alienates more candidates.

We (Step.com) are trying to take an approach where we crowdsource a professional's market value from companies while the professional isn't looking at a job. It's completely anonymous. And as the professional is getting valuable market data from the marketplace personalized to them, they are in effect building a little black book of companies that are interested in them. So once a professional does start looking, they have a starting point.

I don't know if our approach is the answer (i hope it is) but I do think the next model needs to deliver high value content and protect professionals from the low value content and contact.
