Except indeed has replaced every job listing and recruitment. Even the “top” recruiting firms now are doing all their work on indeed.
Comment on there is Indeed a problem

Well, problem 1 is using indeed. What an obsolete site for most places. But i get the joke.
Not that prospects are much better elsewhere. Like LinkedIn for instance with their “click here for instant apply” and then you see that you’re one of 50 people (today) to apply for this open role and some AI in the background estimated based on your profile that you have 22% chance of getting the job BUT if you pay for premium you can knock that 22% up to 50% and an AI writes you a better profile…
I really do feel sorry for the crap the boomer gen and even my generation (genx) has left every generation after.

Yep. Comes down to money and they can’t make big money off you if you hide behind the great LinkedIn pay wall. Look, recruiters like everyone else are trying to milk every penny out of their sale (you). You say “top” but are they exclusive? Are you applying at the company portal? Can you find this job yourself and apply direct? Top recruiters doesn’t mean as much as is used to. Right now you’re one of 30 applicants being submitted by a semi-competent recruiter that uses a tool to evaluate how much your resume fits and how much profit they can make if they bring you in under the salary range.
Indeed is a crap job site used by cheap recruiters. at least with LinkedIn you’re better armed with searching.

At my last job I got sick of the management so I just did easy apply to like 50 jobs that were suitable as they came up. Actually got my current job from it. Unfortunately probably won’t happen now since there are like 20k laid off people looking in my field.

I have applied to over 500 jobs on LinkedIn. I got one interview. I swear sometimes that it’s all just a hamster wheel and nobody ever gets a job through it.

From my experience smaller companies are more likely to respond to them. I also prefer smaller companies so it’s a filter for me. That and it’s like 0 effort haha

If you listen to the crowd on here, a guillotine on the ruling classes.

LinkedIn and Indeed combo still work fine, but personal network is age old and never not the best choice.

CV library gets me some calls from recruiters, be prepared for spam/WhatsApp scams though

I agree
Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Is that really the way? I mean, there’s just not enough of the ruling class to go around for everyone to have their turn.

Depends on your level and job. Honestly I’m still going to say LinkedIn in most cases, if only because Its the professional social network. Companies can look you up, so you need a good profile to attract those recruiters that pay to find people. It’s a sick game, but at least now there are AI profile services that can help you get ahead.
Indeed is cheap and used by cheap recruiters to get the most applicants directed to some other job board that costs them near nothing to aggregate resumes. You can’t even be sure you’re using the company job site to apply in some cases. At least with LinkedIn you can do the searching for the real job post.

I’ve had a lot of response back through LinkedIn. Landed one of my jobs through it. Other three were personal and professional connections.

All of the jobs I’ve had in my life, that I didn’t get rough personal connexions, I’ve found on glassdoor.
DarthBueller@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Glassdoor has got to be the worst name for a job site. Evokes the phrase “glass ceiling” which is not something that anyone wants to have at their job.
