Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have been applying jobs through LinkedIn recently and 100% of them returned back as rejection with the same template message. That made me wonder that recruiters might be pressing a "Reject" button and LinkedIn would send me the subsequent mail. So my question.. 
Can anyone who got hired via "Easy Apply" tell their story or any recruitor tell what's the best way to catch attention?

What does it look like on the other side of LinkedIn's "Easy Apply"?

What does it look like on the other side of LinkedIn's "Easy Apply"?- Grapevine

I'm incredibly frustrated with LinkedIn's job application process. It seems like the job tab never works effectively, and I wonder if others share my experience. Despite applying to jobs using the "Easy Apply" and directly on company websites with a well-crafted resume and complete information, I've never received a response.

I question the authenticity of these job postings and whether HR professionals actually review the applications. If they do, what is their process? How do they sift through the numerous applications? It feels like my efforts are in vain, and the lack of feedback is disheartening.

Why LinkedIn Job Applications Feel Pointless

I happen to finally go for premium since I ran out of invites. And bro I’ve been bombarded with job suggestions left and right . I have applied for 3-4 hours straight, just can’t believe it.
Just a day back my feed was dry as a desert.
So if you’re looking for jobs go for Premium at least till you get few offers

LinkedIn premium is nuts

All the jobs in applying through LinkedIn gets a rejection mail. When I share a resume through referral, I definitely get an interview call. I tried to find references and is there a better way to get interview calls?

Is there a better way to find jobs?

Shitty and frustrated feeling - I have been applying for the better part of the year on LinkedIn (Premium) btw, for over 500+ roles on LinkedIn across various companies for a role in Business Intelligence, is it shitty for everyone out there or just me? Got couple of interviews then ghosted, what the f**k is happening? Is it just me? Please guide; our thoughts

Hey guys. I’ve been searching for jobs on LinkedIn for a while now, there’s either no response or a template rejection. Does job search through LinkedIn work or not?

If not, please suggest other effective ways- considering the market now and the layoff volumes. Thank you!

So I wanted to understand, when we get job opportunities on linked in and we apply too but why there’s no one from the hiring team connects with us ? It also says to apply on their website but no response. 

Like for example, Myntra has lot hiring positions and keep getting same notification week on week but no one contacts from their team ? 

Even if we are not selected, there should a notification right?  Why can’t we get in touch with the hiring team or again it all depends on referrals?

Hello Fine Viners- it's been 2 months now that I am actively looking for a job change. Have faced instances where the HR calls me regarding the scheduling of the interview, but vo hota hi nahi hai! Even if the interview is scheduled, I don't get an update post that call. I have rejected 2 offers (there are solid reasons to do so) and have been rejected from 2 :(

LinkedIn and IIMjobs are on a constant battle on who will give me the most rejection emails or updates. 

Anyways, I am getting a bit worried lately and wanted to know from ya'll, IS HIRING EVEN HAPPENING!? 

In case your answer to the above question is YES, then please mention your company name and mode of working (wfh, wfo or hybrid). Referral are also welcomed.

My profile: Generalist role in EdTech. 7+ YoE.

I am in PIP for 60 days and trying to switch within 60 days , but no luck !!

Attended almost 21 interviews . I got positive responses from some of the companies but later they did not schedule next round even they did not provide feedback. You can imagine how frustrating is this .

Already passed 26 days and no offer in hand .

Need advice and support.

Losing hope!!

I recently enabled open to work on my profile,
Got immediate responses from recruiters,
They show so much interest saying “ Your skill set, experience is amazing and this is exactly what we are looking at our company, please share your resume and we can take this forward “
I get all hyped and share my resume, and I get no response back. Almost 5-10 recruiters have ghosted me like this.
I follow up multiple times asking for any update. And I get no response. They don’t even say “ I have forwarded your profile to the HM and we’ll get back to you “ 

Some of my friends are also facing the same issue.

I’m a product designer with 11+ yoe, if anyone here can refer me it will be really helpful 🙏

Linkedin recruiters ghosting

Software Engineer

Heyy folks, 
I am a semi qualified chartered accountant and currently in search of job. It has been observed during various job applications submitted that the resume is not getting shortlisted by the employers. 
I have working experience in mid size CA firms and also worked as a freelancer performing taxation functions. Currently, I want to have exposure of big corporate houses where I can learn more and perform well further.
While applying, it has been observed that I have to face rejection. I am not getting a clear idea about how to modify or make changes in my resume and LinkedIn profile so that employers become eager to know more about my work exposure.
There is a well known saying that don't judge a book by it's cover but while looking for job opportunities, it has been observed that while buying a book, the first of all it's a cover of book which attracts the perspective customer to pick the book and look into it.
I want to know that what a HR basically looks for in a job application of interested candidates.
I also want to redesign my cover in order to increase chances of getting selected.
 It will be a great privilege to get positive response and guidance from the experts.

Welcome to NEW LinkedIn, where professionals go to get distracted
- Because nothing says "professional networking" like knowing that out of my 30K connections, 48 have played Queens in the last hour. Exactly the vital information I needed today. And it's so comforting to know my boss not only sucks at setting my KPIs but also sucks at LUDO (oh wait.. they dont have LUDO, but you get the point). Say Yes to LinkedIn Games : because what better way to showcase your professional skills than competing in virtual board games. Maybe next we’ll have a LinkedIn Queens Champion title to boost your profile visibility and job hunt next?
- AI Post Ideas – Original thoughts? Nah, let the algorithm tell me what to think. Can’t wait for the ‘Inspirational Monday Motivation’ template. Because originality is overrated, right?
- LinkedIn Shorts – because TikTok isn’t enough. Now I can document getting laid off in 30-second clips. ‘Watch me scream at my boss in high definition!’ And the best part? When the boss yells at an employee, we can record that too! Coming soon: "Live from the pantry" and "Breakout room drama" LiEmploymentTV is the new reality TV 

What are the new features in pipe: Kundli and Tarot? 
- LinkedIn Horoscopes: Today’s forecast: Your connection requests will be ignored. Better luck tomorrow!
- LinkedIn Tarot Readings: The cards say stop pretending to enjoy team-building exercises
- LinkedIn Karaoke: Here's a hip hop base track to sing your resignation letter
- LinkedIn Pet Profiles: Cause your cat deserves a professional network too
- LinkedIn Cooking Shows: Cause you are more than your current role
- LinkedIn Meditation Sessions: Your mind needs it own Calm
- LinkedIn Matchmaking: We solved for the jobs, now lets help you find love with someone equally networked

Meta shutting down workplace really dint teach you anything???
To the PMs at LinkedIn – Thanks for teaching us - What not to do when and how.

Remember when LinkedIn was the place to get work done?

LinkedIn is not the same what it was an year ago, these days it's mostly filled with useless crap and so called influencers sharing their fake interview experiences just to sponsor someone who paid good amount of money

I am a '21 graduate from a Tier 1 college (old IIT) and have had short stints as product manager at a couple of startups. About a year back, I decided to startup but after a few months, realized that startup idea wasn't worth pursuing. 

Researched around a few startup ideas and finally landed upon a good one in D2C space. But the problem is financing. I don't have much saving and friends / family network wouldn't be able to finance this. I really want to pursue this idea but finance is becoming a hindrance. 

So started looking for job opportunities about 3 months back. I have been exploring work opportunities in product / founder office / EIR roles or other generalist role. 

Job hunt process has been frustrating to say the least. Getting very few calls. In most cases, people are ghosting after couple of rounds of interview or assignment. In some cases, after getting through 2-3 rounds, I got to know that opening has been closed temporarily. Most HRs don't even have the decency to give feedback. 

I don't intend to work in job for long anyway. As soon as I have the job, I plan to start working on my business idea and quit as soon as I have enough financial leeway. 

How should I go about job hunt process? I have been trying to connect with folks on LinkedIn in whose company job openings are there. Apart from this, I have been connecting with founders from recently funded startups. Naukri / Instahyre and IIM Jobs are other portals I have been looking on. Anything I should do differently here? 

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions / experience.

How bad is the job market?

Just a advice: 
  
 Never do the assignment for any company.This company will ghost you every time after the assignment or will offer lower pay / lower position. 
  
 Companies just try to get ideas via the assignment

I must have applied for dozens of jobs on LinkedIn job portal. At times companies don't reply or I mostly get automated rejection emails. 
PS - I'm someone with more than a decade and a half experience. So my target roles are a little senior.
