How do I respond to Playco?

Question

A recruiter from Playco reached out about a Product Engineering role. This skeezed me out because:

I haven’t been an Eng in some time (TPM)
that’s obvious from my LI profile
Reviews suggest this place is a shitshow
they used ‘unicorn’ in the email

What is the deal with this place? It seems like it has changed names a bunch of times and has a high churn rate.

Should I even bother responding?

Sounds like you answered the question yourself... no need to respond. People ghost recruiters all the time. In fact, recruiters ghost people all the time too.

First I ever heard of them. I honestly don't really understand what they do from visiting the site. Regarding the reach out, it seems like they just scraped a bunch of LI profiles

Do you think it'd be worth your time to try the interview anyway just to see what they're willing to pay?

ive also never heard of Playco... but I have noticed random messages from recruiters on linkedin for positions I am clearly unqualified for. Might be they are just spraying the message to a ton of people
