Many recruiters continue to reach out to me on LinkedIn mostly, including FAANG companies. All of the positions are either a 3-2 hybrid or completely on-site. In such cases, these companies want to phone screen and have the first round technical interview via Zoom or something. I've been telling the recruiter that, unless the company allows fully-remote work, I will not allow for a remote interview; however I am happy to interview so long as the entire process is on-site. That includes everything that would normally be done remote, such as the initial phone screen. I'm tired of companies (think of some well-known ones) having it both ways: remote interviews are OK for them but not remote work. If enough smart, technical people told these companies "no, I won't allow you to conduct a remote interview for a non-remote position" then things may change.

1. I had a recruiter from Amazon reach out to me about “exciting opportunities” as an SDE on LinkedIn. The issue was that my profile showed that I was already working at AWS.
2. A recruiter from Google reached out to me about an Engineering Manager position. Not only did I not have any management experience on my profile, my current position then was in the consulting department (full time) at AWS - it wasn’t even officially software development
3. A recruiter from Meta reached out to me about a senior software engineer position in AI. Again, my profile clearly showed a bunch of no name CRUD developer jobs and then working in consulting
Recruiter outreach is no indication of careful targeted outreach
