Sourcing Fatigue is Real: Recruiters, what's the single biggest time sink in your weekly LinkedIn routine right now?

I've been spending a lot of time analyzing recruitment workflows, and the common thread I keep finding is that LinkedIn, while essential for quality talent, creates massive manual repetition that leads to burnout. Sourcers often spend half their time on tasks that could easily be handled otherwise. I’m genuinely curious to hear what your biggest time drains are. I want to start a real discussion about efficiency. The Time Vampire: What single, repetitive task on LinkedIn (or integrating LinkedIn into your ATS/CRM) is currently eating up the most hours from your work week? (e.g., manual profile viewing, sending the 2nd/3rd follow-up, updating spreadsheet trackers, etc.) The Automation Dream: If you had a button that instantly and safely automated one part of your initial outreach workflow, which task would you choose and why? I personally found a huge efficiency boost just by optimizing how I track and follow up with interested candidates who go silent after the first connection. The productivity difference was game-changing.
