Wish I could opt out of having LinkedIn entirely. It makes me so annoyed that so many jobs require you to have it in order to apply
What benefit do they get from requiring it? Surely mandating something like that can only filter the pool of talent available.
Because they probably use an AI to scan your profile
My guess would be something to do with intermediary application systems used by multiple companies tracking who applies where. Who knows what they’re doing with that data
