the value is twofold:
if i have 10 endorsements, i want to pick the best 5. whether a celebrated person is among them is besides the point. i still want to choose.
by default, newer endorsements are better than old ones because they are likely more current. and i am not going to go out of my way to seek a new endorsement if it isn't a better one than what i already have, so when i do get one i most likely want it at the top, so making that default reduces effort and confusion
- esafak 3y agoLinkedIn lets you endorse particular skills, which is more informative than a blanket endorsement. Even then it's not very valuable. You still have to verify it in a technical interview. All it does is get you past the first filter.
- em-bee 3y agook, but initially you only asked about how to handle more than 5 endorsements and i was responding to that. that's also how i read your reply. now you are questioning the value of endorsements in general which is a different topic. one that i am not disagreeing with either. if i put my hiring hat on, i am not sure how i would accept these endorsements myself. frankly when i am hiring, i'd mostly value endorsements from people that i trust myself, which only works for candidates that are already in my network somehow. i would consider endorsements from a reputable testing service so that i can skip coding tests.
