[OT] Adding recruiters to LinkedIn connection list?

[Kyle Smith]

Recruiters likely aren't trying to keep in touch with you, so much as have
access to your network of connections for their own recruitment needs.  As a
rule, if I didn't work with you, and I'm not related to you, you're not on
my LinkedIn.  YMMV.
