@stux@mstdn.social The candidate I last hired applied via LinkedIn. I found that that a huge majority of applicants were poor candidates and other places I advertised offered, on average, higher quality candidates. But the winner did apply via LinkedIn. This was over a year ago and the number of LinkedIn applicants was very high. Due to AI I can’t imagine how many applications we will get the next time we advertise a new opening. BTW, I read every application myself.
