LinkedIn Job Search

What do you like best?

My favorite part of the job search on LinkedIn is the organized posts that are uploaded daily, if not, hourly, on LinkedIn. I was looking for a job during the pandemic because I was furloughed from my employer, but I received a sense of hope that the economy was not completely headed to a downfall because of this feature on LinkedIn. I saw that job posts had words such as "Remote" or "Virtual," which changed my view on jobs during the pandemic. I realized that LinkedIn job posts were extremely fast and up-to-date. I saw so many virtual job opportunities on LinkedIn and job searching has been fun for me.

What do you dislike?

I wish there was a quick "Apply" button on LinkedIn but I have to pay a subscription to access the job application. Recruiters have looked at my profile but I wish there was a feature to let us know which recruiters are interested in my profile and which ones aren't to see what type of jobs I qualify for. I love seeing the logos of the companies next to the job posts because I can easily associate the logo to the company and see which companies are high in demand for job applicants.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I don't have many problems with LinkedIn Job Search. It is fun to look at job posts on LinkedIn. I've used other job recruiter sites before like Glassdoor and Indeed, but I didn't like the platform. I had more success on LinkedIn because LinkedIn has a strong professional image. I also can tell when a recruiter views my LinkedIn profile and it gets me excited because it makes it seem as if I am qualified for the job description. There are more benefits than cons in using LinkedIn Job Search.
