My last 4 jobs were all LinkedIn; but the last was 8y ago. They were all Apply Now.

I clicked. Provided a few things. Had an interview within a few days and the offer a day or two later. It was absolutely lovely compared to Monster or ZipRecuiter or CareerBuilder or whatever was popular at the time.

Now the only Apply Now links appear to be resume harvesters or agencies reposting other open reqs.

I got interviews and two jobs via LinkedIn, in Europe.

Some "AI" HR tools will check your CV matches the online social media profile.

It is lame, but some people treat perspective employees as a fungible service. =3
