Comments and Reviews
very good professional media site
I tried to use this site to find a job. Unfortunately, I have to admit that he is not well suited for this task. There is no search by country, language, level of knowledge, minimum wage, no stop words, no query language. The site offers me vacancies in Norwegian, French, German, although my profile clearly states that my native language is Russian, and I can correspond in English. Now, during a pandemic, I am not ready to move to another country, but most of the vacancies that the site offers me are not in Russia.
I agree with the others, it's just not good.
Data collection first, privacy last. Settings get reset on any update in ToS or Privacy Policy back to defaults. Around every 4 months. linkedIn was my favourite social media before. Now it's my worst.
Anti-privacy app full of marketing and fake views.
People regularly pay to have their views and likes boosted.
Randomly, you will get your account shut down, with Linkedin asking for your ID. Never give a photo of your ID to some company that can sell the information.
The website is known on reddit as a scam due to increasing fake job post and fake promise of being hired. Paying will not do you any good, as Linkedin doesn't offer better chances only a chance of being rejected faster. It's way worst than any other service, it lacks any form of spam protection and blocks users unexpectedly out of nowhere.
Unlike apps like Indeed and Glassdoor, LinkedIn does not estimate the salary for a job, employer, and location.
