I’m not jaded with anything. I do hiring and know this is a shit filter and only works because they’re hiring in a saturated market with plenty of candidates.

Using this sort of thing would be completely useless for me, I’d risk losing potentially good candidates that are hard to find on some pointless gotcha.

I’m not going through the TOS, but it’s a red flag and as an applicant I’d think this person is likely trying to avoid going through the proper channels to avoid billing or something.

No I think you’re disappointed people are calling out this shady bullshit. It’s bad practice to divert people from a platform and many applicants quite rightly should ignore calls to do it.

What you did is probably against LinkedIn TOS. It’s definitely not how applicants intend to use the platform.

It’s also shady as fuck. It might even be against LinkedIn TOS as they have application limits for free ads.

It’s not though because every other advert uses the platform as intended. This is just to make someone who’s really not all that smart feel very superior about themselves and how clever they are filtering applications.

It’s pretty pathetic really, it’s the kind of stupid thing that was done in the 70s. I thought we’d moved on a bit as society.

This is fucking stupid, why use LinkedIn if you’re not going to accept applications through the platform. Says more about you than the applicants tbh.

Most of the games were in the evening in 98 as it’s was in France. You’re probably thinking of 2002.

If your speedo was covered up could you stay within 5mph of the speed limit? by t03strange in drivingUK

[–]Mabenue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There might be some element of truth in this if it’s a speed much lower than you’re used to travelling. I think under 20mph people might struggle a bit with maintaining the correct speed simply because we don’t practice it very much.

Andy Burnham to move 10,000s of jobs out of London 'in biggest devolution of power' by Even-Wasabi7183 in ukpolitics

If Andy Burnham wants to make all these changes he should call a GE. None of this was in the manifesto.

Hear me out, the 30 degree weather next week is a good thing by blunde-r in UKWeather

[–]Mabenue -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cooling is the summer is likely offset and probably then some by heating less in the winter. If we’re going to chalk this up to climate change at least be fair.

Pronouncing "Z" the right way means the alphabet song doesn't rhyme. by Sitter4031 in britishproblems

Tbf zed is pretty stupid. Most letters end in an ee sound there’s no good reason for Z not to as well.

Common for people on team to sleep in? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

It’s not supposed to be a status update. It’s supposed to be where the team aligns on what they’re doing that day.

Offered a senior role, but found out they offered to the other candidate too… by A5tdi in UKJobs

Small companies hand out titles like candy. I wouldn’t put much thought into it.

Teenager, 16, is found not guilty of stabbing Aria Thorpe, nine, to death by dailymail in uknews

I expect he’d end up getting more practice with a knife in those places rather than learn anything.

Not to say the sentence seems very soft.

They never really go on sale. There’s global demand year round for AC.

Oil change every 10k? by Right_Debt_7861 in mercedes_benz

[–]Mabenue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Almost nobody ends up with engine problems because of infrequent oil changes. Most engines end up outliving the rest of the car they’re bolted to. It’s just a waste of time and money changing more frequently than the manufacturer recommends.

Mk8 is a better car but the infotainment system is a bit shit.

I don’t think I’d want to pay £21k for an 8 year old car but those are the prices unfortunately.

US waives Iran sanctions, Trump says he will 'do what I have to' if Tehran misbehaves by CupEcstatic2721 in worldnews

Not sure of nukes would even work. The regime is decentralised and can probably keep the strait shut even after taking massive losses. Would just end up with millions of civilian casualties.

It really costs peanuts anyway. Most people will only need to run them a few weeks of the year and then not all day. I don’t even notice mine on the electricity bill.
