Platform has changed frequently and is now more cumbersome for recruiters to the point of becoming irrelevant. Too many glitches/technical issues and no results. Only interested in talking when renewals are due or there is money to be made. We already pay more than is valuable anymore. Do not recommend LinkedIn recruiter - find an alternative.

The services rendered by linkedin are subject to communist propagandists reviews. If they dislike your beliefs they'll ban you indefinitely. Unfortunately it'll take a bit of time for people to figure out this is NOT an open networking tool for everyone but for the socialists and communists.

Propagandists
January 5, 2022

It seems LI have started to pay people to give good reviews, so time to redress the issue with another well deserved 1 star review.
This is a recalcitrant company who will refuse to delete your data and have the attitude of sue us!
See my earlier post on bait and dox for some insight as to how their poorly managed site operates today.
Absolutely no point wasting your time with these parasites!

Linkedin Breach
July 29, 2019

Fond out this company had a breach June 2012. I was never notified as I should have been! Found out this info on credit karma website. I cannot post photo of this as my email address and partial password is shown, however, I will rewrite word for word what is states:

'In 2012, more than 6.5 million linkedin user passwords were breached an posted onto an online crime forum - but that was just he tip of the iceberg. Four years later, linkedin discovered more than 117 million email and password combinations from that breach on the dark web. Even if you don't use your linkedin account anymore, it's important to take steps to protect the info that was exposed.'

These sites need to be financially penalized as this is a atrocity. When will these pathetic companies learn?

Though a great site to network overall, the site is run by liberals who it's their way or nothing. I would only recommend this site for possible networking but not for job hunting and definitely don't share your opinion of you are a conservative.

Its like part of social responsibility to have LinkedIn account... or maybe it was really focused on business networking with less force to move to over priced paid plan or job posts... and it become full of spam. Its like (pay for premium account and you can make other users lives miserable though directly texting others viewing their info and much more... and whats annoying is how some people use it as Facebook wall posting anything and nothingness... i got LinkedIn cause need to have in business card... i dont open it much or even relay on it to look up for candidates or look for potential leads... i just accept add requests every once in a while

My account has over 6,000 connections and we hire people using linkedin. They maliciously locked my account for 3 weeks and gave no explanation except there is a security issue. No phone to call, emails and dms go unanswered. First time I've ever been locked out of anything. Terrible experience, someone is about to lose their job over this. Lawsuits are next.

Nice place to maintain and get work. I am glad that I made an account with LinkedIn. Employers can easily look in my profile which is important nowadays. No more need to submit CV and other data about me.

Regardless of the number of job applications an individual submits, they consistently encounter rejection. Despite possessing extensive experience and expertise, it seems that certain companies, albeit unintentionally, exhibit a preference for candidates who are not of Hispanic descent. This observation may raise concerns about discrimination, as it appears that platforms like LinkedIn consider one's name or Hispanic background as decisive factors in being overlooked or denied the opportunity for an interview or employment. This bias persists even when the individual possesses qualifications that surpass the requirements sought by the hiring company.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the foundation of many economies, representing a huge portion of work and financial results. However, they often face huge obstacles when beginning to exchange another market or area. These obstacles include a lack of information about neighborhood markets, subsidizing or supporting choices, tracking down the right clients, keeping steady over the opposition, finding the right group, managing monetary issues, keeping awake to date on industry patterns and market improvements, shaping vital associations with different organizations, investing in innovation and advanced frameworks, and being proactive about searching out help from outside sources. With dedication and hard work, SMEs can track down effective fixes to defeat these difficulties and arrive at their objectives.

This is how it should be done folks: beautiful UI, free premium trial and no hard selling. Get some education with their learning platform; get some visibility with their easy application button; find better candidates with their skills matching system.

Created the account years ago, but was blown away on seeing the new additions. Way to go. Keep up the good work!

Garbage Website!
July 7, 2022

They are now worse than Facebook for censoring people. You get banned for nothing at all, if it annoys the moronic moderators who seem to be deficient of actual education. There is no point to LinkedIn, since all of the jobs advertised are Entry Level, and the employers ghost the applicants. Close down your account with them. Just walk away!

This company cares nothing about its customers or users. They will not work with you and will happily tell you they cannot assist you. They have been improperly charging me for months. When I finally caught these improper charges, LinkedIn refused to refund me. I have been using their platform for over ten years, but they said they could not help me on a $300 dollar error in their system. Sadly, this platform is used by many professionals, so you may not have a proper alternative. However, it is a bad company that does not treat its customers and users fairly, and is the stereotypical company that puts $$$$ over people. Their customer service is straight out of a random seller on EBay from 2002.

LinkedIn pretty much rocks~

You have to pay attention to a couple of things, otherwise it can provide you with all kinds of great connections if you're in business:

1. DISABLE the "Public Profile"

2. Don't get into too much drama with the discussion groups

3. Make sure you take the time to explore all that it has to offer.

I would definitely recommend this site. You can also find great job availability and even make a few friends along the way. A large number of the guys in my industry are on here and I love the new products posts and other insider stuff I find.

We subscribed to LinkedIn's "premium" services for businesses, and I have to say it's a bit of a racket--their billing is recurring and it is very very difficult to cancel. We could not figure out how to cancel OR contact customer service on my own. Eventually we had to Google "how to downgrade my linkedin account" and then follow a convoluted set of steps to send an email message to request a downgrade. If they don't respond to the request quickly I'll be lowering my rating to below a "Meh." Bad showing LinkedIn. You clearly care more about taking my money than the service you're providing. You've just lost a fan.

I had a long term account that was hacked into and deleted. Notified LinkedIn but after several weeks not a single response from them. It appears customer support isn't important to them. Shameful. Worst customer support I've ever dealt with.

Same as everyone else.

They keep bugging you to try premium to the point where they make it hard to function on your normal account.
They say it's free, but apparently I have done a "free" trial before so charged me $240 straight away.

They don't respond to your emails and go silent, so they can pocket the cash.

How does a professional entity get away with this?

I joined Linkedin as a professional and ambitious person who also wanted to connect with same people but with Respect.
I really liked this Professional platform for career oriented people like me where one can share their thoughts on different posts, job posting emails, knowledgeable info shared by linkedin team via newsletters. And people send you connection requests & want to connect & chat with you on a professional level(keeping in mind the privacy & respect of a person) is what made me love the professionalism of many linkedin individuals. And it helped me learn many things that makes me become more ambitious.
Am totally in it.
