LinkedIn is ignoring user settings

Re:LinkedIn is ignoring user settings by wslh on Sunday January 14, 2018 @10:26AM (#16144603)

I always think about LinkedIn as a "light scam". LinkedIn always pretended to help businesses and employees but indeed they don't do anything special to match people except for recruiters, which at the end it is enough with a search. To put it straight, it is not a Tinder for business.

I tried many paid services like Ads, Premium, and API. They are subpar. I recruit better via Reddit than via LinkedIn, you can post in a group with hundreds of thousands and it is a ghost town when nobody pay attention. they refuse API access for obvious uses, etc.

Let's give the power back to users. Please someone create an open source alternative, where everyone will contribute to do something good.

Wait. That was just a dream.

I tried once, I don't think it will replace classic recruiting.

Yeah I don’t think so either. I actually think it’s great we are not floor with a thousand recruitment here (mostly by staffing agencies). However, for this relatively small but active community, this is one of the best things I like about HN.

Add private connection requests (no one but you knows who you're connected to or how many you have) to HN. Problem solved.

LinkedIn (i.e., data.com) is far and away the best tool for recruiting/accessing GTM professionals. And it's in China. That doesn't sound like that bad of a niche to me.

I spent some time searching but still can't find out what a GTM professional is. What is it?

Go To Market, so sales and marketing and everything that hangs off that

That explains why LinkedIn feels so "salesy" and "markety."

And why it would be so easy to find a "GTM" person there

GTM is an automotive company, though it's European, so IDK why the OP would be recruiting in China.

(Though my initial tech-centered recognition was a common reference to Google Tag Manager :)

How do you hire on Reddit? There's a/more than one dedicated subreddit?
