The user experience is completely disconnected from their revenue model.

Instead of helping job seekers be found, LinkedIn’s been monetizing spam.
The user experience is completely disconnected from their revenue model.
When you see a post or webinar offering to help job seekers better utilize LinkedIn, it’s an indictment of just how bad a job LinkedIn has done it themselves.
That content and those services shouldn’t exist. There shouldn’t be a need. Everyone should already know exactly how it all works, because LinkedIn should tell them.
Instead, the search algo is a black box. No one knows if they’re showing up in recruiters’ searches, let alone why.
No transparency. Job seekers have no idea how and why they’re missing the mark.
And it’s the same for recruiters. There are absolutely people who fit the jobs you’re trying to fill that you’re never finding, for the very same reason.
Your job is harder than it should be.
What do we get instead?
Ads. Spam. And ad spam.
Who in the hell thought ads in your inbox is something that anyone in the world would want?
