The first step on tackling youth unemployment is to put some proper guardrails around AI. Making kids jump through hoops just to be seen by a human is a huge barrier for many talented people. Plus things like easyapply make things worse. Who’s got time to go through 1,000 applications?

As far as I can tell you only get notified via email, and I don’t know that all EasyApply jobs alert you, for what it’s worth. But it looks something like this (shared by a colleague)

The job market and application experience is so broken right now, that it's exciting that LinkedIn's EasyApply managed jobs give a notification when your application is reviewed, because it means you know it didn't just go in a black hole.
This shouldn't be the norm, and it sucks.

Always intriguing to see job ads on LinkedIn where it clearly instructs applicants to apply only via the recruiter’s email address but still it shows many people have applied via EasyApply on #LinkedIn.

just angry-applied for a bunch of jobs on LinkedIn EasyApply even though that never works and there are no jobs anyway. which is why they can do this in the first place. I need to just calm down and suck it up but not yet.

Temp agencies, which used to be a good outlet through which to switch career paths, are especially heinous about this - they'll call them "rolling openings" and have them set up with the EasyApply setting on LinkedIn.

Honestly, I've gotten to the point with LinkedIn where I will apply to a job using the EasyApply feature (even when you're told not to) because the outcome is the same.
People don't respond, so why customize every resume?

I’ve been out of work 2wks and am going to lose everything within 45 days. I have ideations already. Gonna be long term trouble
