Yeah, to me has been kind of useless too: I never found a job with it, while the classic job boards (indeed etc) have served me quite well.
Comment on Why do people post so much crap on linkedin?

I never really used it because even when I first heard about it when it was still newish, it was just Facebook but everyone wore a suit and talked about work related shit.
I initially tried it because I was told it was a great job seeking app. It wasn’t tho. It was Facebook bullshit with a different name and overall mindset.

I’ve found my last 3 jobs on there. It depends on your role and area, but I much prefer it to classic trash ad sites.
Beardliest@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think that depends on what profession you’re in. I get contacted on the regular by recruiters on that platform for jobs. It’s where I have found my last 2 positions in 7 years.

Likewise. It has generated several offers for me, but the vast majority of head hunters are playing spray-n-pray with keywords. For every good lead I get, I have to tell 400 people to fuck off.
Oh.. you're a Sox analyst? Want to work in a sock factory? Want to do the laundry for a minor league baseball team? Want to be in a fetish video?

Head hunters are so annoying I’ve stopped responding to them. They barely know anything about the position they try to fill.

Depends. I got my recent job from a headhunter: a Rust programming gig in a fully remote startup with good benefits and a great salary. When the offers are not great, I tell them. This was through LinkedIn.

Definitely. I said this in another reply as well, but I don’t respond unless they say something very specific about my background. I know AI can do that but that seems the best way to go for now.

I usually just got offers from people who wouldn’t tell me what the job was or how much it paid until I agreed to an hour long sales pitch, I mean, interview.
Beardliest@lemmy.world 11 months ago
For sure there are still those. I usually get one decent one for about 20 ransoms that don’t say a word. I usually don’t respond unless they say something specific about my background.

And what field is this? Or what professions do you think so well here?
Beardliest@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Product development. Anything associated with building software products get a lot of traction on LinkedIn
