- ushercakes 2y agoHow to grow your LinkedIn company profile - Post a fake job, fully remote, 6 figure salary - Get legitimately thousands of job applicants on LinkedIn to apply - When they apply, auto select the "Follow <companyName> on LinkedIn?"? - 90% of applicants don't notice, and auto follow No joke. That is the playbook. Do we really think 97,000 people are following DuckDuckGo because they're interested in hearing their marketing and culture posts? (no offense to DuckDuckGo, they're not the only one to do this)
- PyWoody 2y agoHonestly, I think it's even more insidious: They're betting on the applicant following the company thinking it'll increase the applicant's odds of being "noticed."
- giantg2 2y agoAh, true. I have seen their's. They seem more legit. The two I have been seeing are for medium sized companies and the listing are very generic. I think one might be legit since a recruiter on a different platform reached out for a specific role at that company. But the posting on here seems pretty generic. The other one has posted for months or even a year. It's also a generic one. Of course my area is a dead zone for jobs on here.
