Great advice. I’ve only gotten my last 6 jobs there dating back 10+ years (not actually sure how long!), and the last 3 were easy apply, so please quit applying there and improve my chances again nex...

'Hope this helps!' is not helpful.

My company HEAVILY cruises LinkedIn for talent. They’re using AI to find percentage matches for people who fit the role. We did have a funny one today for an applications engineer. 95% match on the r...

I’ve apply mostly through LinkedIn and have received interviews consistently. I did accept a job but still looking as the pay is below what I was making. I agree that some resumes may not be reviewed...

This is so made up. If filled internally but policy is to post externally not paying for LinkedIn job slots. Open for opps is a very good tool. Many companies choose to source via reach outs over app...

I have never found a job using LinkedIn. There's way more success by just applying directly to companies through their own process through emailing your resume. Edit: to the people complaining about....

Idk my last 3 successful jobs have been through LinkedIn. 2 of which were Easy Apply. It’s really not as doom & gloom as this sub make it out to be.

Skip any job posting with more than 100 applications already. "Open to work" banner is clearly a two-edged sword. The psychology of wanting something unavailable is not working for you. BUT you signa...

As someone who has worked in recruitment for 10+ years in a few different industries, everything OP mentioned is BS. Any decent company is going to review talent on a first come, first serve basis. C...

I’ve gotten my past 2 jobs from LinkedIn. I did not talk to people on it. I applied. I was not a premium user.

And the issue with jobs having internal hires already lined up is not specific to LinkedIn. That's every advertised job going back to the days of jobs advertised in print newspapers.

LinkedIn does not have access to company policies. It’s not like LinkedIn asks “did you fill this position internally before posting?”. Edit you can click on OPs profile and see it’s an advertising a...

This person (OP) absolutely doesn’t work for LinkedIn. This is karma farming.

Lmao I work at LinkedIn and this is bullshit. Easy Apply is not a black hole as long as the customer has it set to collect applications in the customer’s ATS. There is no Premium filter in Recruiter....

The "Apply" button does. The "Easy Apply" does not. But, when you go to the company website and see the listing it gives me more confidence that it could be legit, current, and all that stuff. It tak...

To be fair, most of the time the “apply now” button achieves the same thing.

The first thing I do when I see a job posting on LinkedIn is go directly to the company website. Every time.

Did you use the Open to Work option for your profile? I’m wondering if it makes me look desperate (I am, however…)

People actually get contacted on LinkedIn for things that are not just scams or MBA programs?

Agree with this advice. I updated my LinkedIn with the help of ai which also made me realize I was massively underselling myself. Not 2 days later I had a recruiter reach out to me about basically a....

Yup that’s exactly what happened to me. I was getting DMs daily. Most of them were temp agencies but I was just glad to be getting interviews at that point.

Everytime my partner gets crabby with his job, he updates his linked in and the headhunters come out of the woodwork.

Don’t waste time applying on LinkedIn but do keep your profile up to date and thorough. I recently got hired for a legit, full time position that a recruiter approached me for on LinkedIn. I had just...

I made a "leaving my job" post, and had a DM from a company director in my inbox almost immediately afterwards. He had already checked where I worked before and reached out to a mutual former colleag...

Workday is awful. How is there not a persistent user profile at this point? Redo the same shit manually at every website, thus far 0 success creating an import format that comes in correctly.

I mean, I thought all of this is a common knowledge but it seems not to be - so here is my list of “way to use LinkedIn to land a job” checklist: external (recruitment agencies) recruiters are useles...

This! That's how I went from making 40k with no benefits or PTO to making 90k with benefits. I cried.

Same. And it’s been a solid job. Much better pay, benefits & vacation. Fewer hours, less work, and pless stress. Been there for years now. And it was just a random DM from an HR recruiter. Wasn’t eve...

That’s how I got my current job, I had Open to Work and the HR person contacted me. I hadn’t even heard of the company before.

I’ve mostly only had success with LinkedIn when an IN HOUSE recruiter sends me a DM. And not like a general one but really specific.
