Joel Tanner (ID: 0000005ea73cf4a6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/26/2016 As an employer I'm constantly being contacted by recruiters/head hunters/talent agents/placement specialists (you get it) on LinkedIn to either solicit business from me or to try to place their candidates. Recruiters have made using LinkedIn a massive chore because it takes so much time to delete their connection requests or messages... until now. This extension has restored my LinkedIn experience.
