- Sep 14, 2024, 06:49 AMQuote from: Goodygoody on Sep 14, 2024, 06:45 AMI did something funny yesterday. Saw a job post, clicked to apply, got a long form to fill... Woops😳
I started filling it anyways. Close to the tail end of the form I saw *LinkedIn*. Gosh! Why wasn't it indicated in the first line or even at the middle? Why should it be at the tail end of this long form?
Why not just make the form short so I could know on time there's something I wouldn't be able to provide.
It was mandatory because even when I filled in only N/A, I couldn't submit.
Guess what I did!
I typed in "www .N/A" and submitted. I wouldn't be the only one whose time was wasted. The recruiter that programmed it that way should also start enjoying my captivating details from the beginning, get to the end and get the shock of his/her life.😅
You wasted my time, I have to waste yours too.

- Sep 06, 2024, 06:49 AMJust fill in "N/A" whether you are not comfortable dropping your linkedin profile or you don't have. Try to fill in "N/A" even though it's asterisked, if you're able to submit the application that means it's not compulsory, if you aren't, that makes it compulsory and gently leave the application.
I don't think any serious recruiter will make that compulsory anyways.

QuoteI'm definitely not a recruiter but I heard it from a hiring manager that that's why they sometimes request for it.
This thread is an eye opener, I never thought people could think of the kind of lies you guys are listing here.😲

- Aug 30, 2024, 10:40 AMQuoteI'm sorry but if this is their reason, then, they shouldn't be recruiting in the first place. Only interview and background check can detect lies not LinkedIn. If I say I work for a multinational company for instance and I have never stepped inside any of the company's branches before, how would you know? Even the Owner, CEO or top executives of the company wouldn't know because it's a large multinational company with branches in different regions and countries.I'm definitely not a recruiter but I heard it from a hiring manager that that's why they sometimes request for it.
Only a background check can affirm the claim, so such recruiters should stop showing how slow they are to the world.
I didn't mean to be harsh, it's just the truth. I hope you aren't a recruiter though.
Résumés are enough, if they need to confirm the authenticity they should run proper background check before handling the individual an employment offer.

- Aug 27, 2024, 08:47 PMQuoteWell, people lie. People lie on their CVs, and that might be a way to dig some credibility.The big fat lies people tell on LinkedIn can't be compared to those on the CV, you can only tell subtle lies on the CV. Fear anyone who doesn't fear LinkedIn users and lies, forget about credibility on LinkedIn please.

- Aug 27, 2024, 08:42 PMThey are not just serious, I will gladly pass irrespective of whether I have a LinkedIn profile or not. I do anyway, with just little information and no image because I don't like how LinkedIn can make your entire life public with search engine visibility.
You should have searched for your befitting candidates on LinkedIn instead of posting the job if that's what matters to you as a recruiter.

The kind of lie people tell on LinkedIn is out of this world.
How do you explain someone that claim to be an Oxford graduate just because he/she did few weeks online course with some Oxford online affiliate programs.
That's the kind of big fat lie that folks tell on LinkedIn. If you want to see real liars, LinkedIn is their home.

Anyways, it shouldn't be a must, such information should be optional if the recruiter knows what he/she is doing.

- Aug 27, 2024, 08:07 PMWhenever I come across such thing on a job application, I simply tell them go fvck yourself and leave the page. Why should it be a must for you to intrude my privacy?
If you wanted LinkedIn users as your employees, why not go there straight and look for potentials? In that case, no need to post a job to the public.
Whatever their reason is, I don't give a fvck, all I know is I'm not providing any link.

- Aug 27, 2024, 07:57 PMWhy do recruiters ask you to provide a link to your LinkedIn profile when applying for a job?
I mean not everyone likes to be out there. Is the CV not enough?
