LinkedIn Sucks (07/06/2025)
LinkedIn is a great platform for jobs, right? Right?
I was reviewing my rejection emails from LinkedIn and then checked my applied jobs and noticed I am not receiving any response from some of these companies.
I want to take a deeper look to see who are the GHOSTS.
I crunched data from when I applied from December 27th 2024 to June 26th 2025, using this popular platform. My results are a joke!
Jobs Applied: 544
Jobs Ghosted: 358 (over 30 days with no response.)
Jobs Waiting: 22 (under 30 days and waiting for a response.)
Jobs Responded: 164 (Thats good news right?)
The UGLY (You ain't got no alibi!): 234 companies that ghosted me.
The Bad: 9. They might respond to you. (under 50%)
The Decent: 19. They should respond to you. (over 50%)
The GOOD: 108. They have responded each time. (100%)
Now if I can only master the ATS systems for these good companies as some are very aggressive and denied me on an average of 3 days. There were several that were same day.
Let's get to the data and see the updated results since July 1st, 2025.

Why does LinkedIn suck? They know who the ghost companies are but are getting paid by them.
Plus, people will keep coming back looking for work and LinkedIn knows their site will be ghosted when someone gains employment.
It's a vicious ghosting cycle and profits are top priority.
