    tried to use it to find a job, never again.

    Can I ask why?

    Like I am not a big fan of the social network part, with people sharing stupid stuff and other things but for finding a job or so they can find you and see your experience and so on it didn’t seem that bad.

      I’m a software developer and many job postings for my skill sets are getting 500+ applicants, so my strategy was to try to network on the platform. The whole experience was demoralizing, sure other job boards might have the same number of applicants, but I really feel like the easy apply button just creates more competition. My inbox is always open for recruiters though, that is the only positive for me.
