This is what one can call a glitch in the Matrix: LinkedIn, like many other overhyped, overvalued IT companies, is again laying off employees like there's no tomorrow. And the solution suggested for the unfortunate laid-off poor guys, many of them trapped in the work visa no-man's land, is to look for help within the LinkedIn Matrix itself. What's happening is clear: the lack of free money is pushing most of these overvalued IT-related companies, which can hardly generate significant profit, to the brink of their existence. LinkedIn, like so many other inflated companies, will likely shrink to at least half of its current size within this year and the next. Its business model is falling apart because the IT job market is also deteriorating. The trend of remote work is fading, and genuinely serious companies are not hiring from here anymore. A hard lesson, BTW, for all those who think that the IT industry won't treat them like disposable commodities, ready to be fired overnight without a second thought.

I filed for unemployment this morning... With my first child arriving in a couple month's time, it is devastating to be in this position. After hundreds, upon hundreds of applications sent out in the previous month all I have to show for my efforts is a inbox full of 'we regret to inform you' & 'this position is now filled'. Sometimes weeks after the initial application, if at all. So bear with me as I need to vent.. The current application system is innefficient and does not support #candidateexperience. Current #ai tools are not helping candidates get in front of the right recruiters. Keywords and pdf documents alone do not represent candidates the same way as having a real conversation does. Nor, should it be an additional barrier blocking talent from pursuing paths to new titles & job functions. If this post could act as a flag, for which I am vigiourosly waving to any organization's hiring team, I guarantee that I would be an exceptional addition to your team. Or at minimum, a contender for an initial phone screen. If we have worked together in the past and you believe that is true, feel encouraged to engage with this post, please. #opentowork

A few years ago I was in what I would call, a professional RUT. As a recruiter many of our skills are soft skills. We collaborate with hiring managers, we interview candidates, we use active listening skills to determine good fits. These are all necessary parts of the position but I wanted more. Something that said, "hey, I know the impact of my work!" Insert data analytics. Data analytics provides real time insight to current pipelines and predictive analytics for future hiring! I'll be honest, it took me a while to understand the very basics of analytics and how to implement them in a class setting, let alone using it in my career. As I worked through my analytics course through Data Science for All by Correlation One I started to understand the impact analytics can have in any career. I realized how analytics provided me with insights to hiring at the organizations I was at and my new found "hard skill." As I continue to look for roles since I'm #opentowork, I remind myself that not all recruiters have the same skills. Recruiters are not a monolith and some of us come with added skills that can really benefit companies outside of hiring! I'm excited to bring my skillset to a new company soon and hope that my future employer is reading this and thinking "hire her now." 😉 To my fellow recruiters, what do you do to up skill? #opentowork #recruiter #dataanalytics #talentacquisition

🌟 Tip for People Recently Laid Off and Seeking Employment: Are you hesitant to share your recent layoff with your LinkedIn network? Here's a valuable insight from a recent conversation I had with a Director of Data Science: Initially hesitant, he decided to openly share news of his layoff with his LinkedIn network. Within just a few days he managed to secure several interviews, a result that pleasantly surprised him. Don't let the fear of being perceived as less valuable due to being laid off hold you back. Openly communicating your job search can significantly increase your chances of finding employment sooner. 📣 Call to Action: Please comment below with the role you're seeking or the positions you're recruiting for your team!

II am in notice period(voluntary) at my job and I'm currently going through a very tough phase. Any leads would be highly appreciated. I am not receiving calls for interview process. It seems that either budget constraints or specific role requirements are causing the issue. #OpenToWork can be one of the most financially draining experiences, but I'm @NotGivingUp easily! I'm still #OpenForNewOpportunities in the field of #cyberjobs #socanalyst #siem #cybersecurityanalyst roles. I would really appreciate any assistance, even if it's as simple as liking, sharing, reposting, or commenting on this post to help increase its visibility. #NewOpportunity #Looking For Job #Connections #helpinghands #connections #helpinghands # openforopportunities #connections #talentacquisition #hrcareers # connections

Are you hurting your ability to find a new role? 👀 I saw a brilliant post by Clive Smart last week & due to knowing the LinkedIn algorithm loves hiding shared posts, I waited a few days 💪 Making yourself "Open to Work" and ending your previous role, may seem like the logical decision - however due to the way recruiters/TA professionals, will often start their searches, focusing on "Current" not "Past" roles, you may be hindering your chances! 🤦♂️ Due to the monopoly LinkedIn hold over the professional social network space, it's surprising there's no work around, but alas, lack of competition can breed lack of innovation 🤦♀️ Hopefully this small change will help those currently looking for their next opportunity, but struggling in a talent rich market we're seeing here at hackajob🔥 If you're hiring right now too, maybe add "Past" to your role search, to catch those unaware of this current issue 👍 #jobs2023 #jobs #jobseeking #hiring #techhiring #techcareers
