HR Consultant for company I applied to messaged me on LinkedIn

I applied for an entry level lab technology company on Monday via LinkedIn and the HR Consultant connected with me and sent me a message saying, “I’d like to add you to my professional connections.”

Should I respond expressing my interest in the position or is this more just him trying to expand his professional following?
