I am sorry to say it too but if you are applying for jobs on there maybe stick to Simon until you get a face to face ๐ I have had the unfortunate experience of having to advertise jobs on there and there a known issue/scam/shitfulnes that you get a massive influx of applications (almost immediately) and they are random people from all over the world (many are likely using bots). So a name like Simon from Melbourne actually stands out as non bot-trash.
It sucks. I actually think linked in encourages it because it's free to advertise a job until the first 50 applicants then they pause it and want you to pay per job view (like 150 bucks a day).
Sorry I have been recruiting for my team so I am scarred the opposite way to you right now.
Totally get it. It's part of the reason I switched to Simon in the first place.
Sucks, but it is what it is.
