What would be an argument that this platform sucks less?
I don't want to record videos of me presenting myself.
LinkedIn seems simple. I post a CV and I toggle if I am open to work or not. Recruiters can find me and I can search for jobs and apply to them. That is all the functionality I need apart from having lots of jobs available on the platform.
- fliellerjulian 2y agoTotally valid — if LinkedIn is working for you, that’s awesome. The reason OpenSpot might "suck less" for some is because it focuses only on one thing: helping people stand out. No feed, no fluff, no algorithm — just a clean, curated profile where you can show off your skills, projects, and intent in a way that cuts through the noise. And to be clear: you don’t have to record a video. That’s optional. Some people link to projects, write a short blurb, or just highlight their strengths in a more human way than a traditional CV. It’s not a LinkedIn replacement — it’s an alternative for those who feel like they’re getting buried in the system and want more visibility without the social media layer. Appreciate the honest question!
- DeathArrow 2y agoFair enough, thank you for the answer.
- marginalia_nu 2y agoSeems like an inherent contradiction to try to stand out using a platform designed to help people to stand out. If you wish to stand out, doing something differently seems like a better option. At least in my personal experience, having a personal website where I write about interesting stuff I do has opened a lot more doors than linkedin ever did.
