🚨 LinkedIn myth you probably believed (I did too)
Everyone thinks recruiters hide applications behind a paywall… but that’s not exactly true 👇
• Free job posts don’t hide applications from recruiters
• What actually happens, the post gets paused after 10-50 applicants
• Recruiters can still see ALL applications they already received
• They just can’t receive new ones without paying to reopen the post
• So the paywall is about getting more applicants, not viewing existing ones
And here’s the real hack nobody talks about 👇
• Easy Apply = you + 300 other people in the first hour
• Your resume goes into a pile with zero customization
• Instead, go directly to the company’s career page
• Apply there, it’s less competitive and shows more intent
• Recruiters notice candidates who took the extra step 💡
Moral of the story? Skip the Easy Apply trap, go straight to the source ⚡
Drop this on someone who’s still hitting Easy Apply on everything 👇
