A peek through the recruiter's mind

Anyone here has some insights on the recruiter's mind especially those from the recruiting firm? I would love to take a peek through the recruiter's mind. You know things like:

1) What's their incentive and how does it align with you.... as a job seeker vs company looking for talent?
2) What's their job process looks like in terms of their recruiting funnel?
3) What are their marketing tricks in terms of attracting talent to come to them? How do they attract companies that are searching for talent?
4) Why they add you on Linkedin, but don't message you at all (even though your profile is public)?
5) Other insights that we should know?

Appreciate your insights on this!

 

Not a recruiter here. Just a guy with common sense.

Recruiters (like most people on earth) work for a paycheck. They value job security. How do they ensure this?

It really distills down to 2 qualities (they they look for) in hiring people. 1) must be competent 2) must NOT rock the boat

^ candidates who fail to display willingness/ability to demonstrate BOTH those traits are weeded out. notice I said "both" in all-caps.

 

This where I get confused. Why bother to add candidates on Linkedin and don't message them when they can assess the first quality by just looking at their Linkedin profile.
