![[OPINION] LinkedIn's new content strategy](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/4b963a7d-5d49-4c3d-975f-626b07f62fea.png){kind=link}
Got a notification from LinkedIn saying “You’re one of the few experts who have been invited to collaborate on …” I got curious and opened up the link.
Apparently, now instead of professional writers being paid to pen down their, usually, cohesive & authentic views, LinkedIn is trying out the idea of generating content using an LLM and then asking for free editorial services from users in exchange for “badges” 🤯 🤦♂️
This is cheap IMO. Even for LinkedIn.
What’s happened to the “content team” at LinkedIn!?
Yes but at that point they might as well just interview you instead of dismissing on first sight.
There’s something to be said about omitting unnecessary details from a job application, to prevent out-of-hand dismissal. But if bias exists it will manifest eventually anyway. If the HR department or management scours the internet for personal details as an excuse to reject someone they’ve already crossed a line, and a candidate somehow cunning their way into an interview won’t change their bias.
Yes, but scoring the internet for negative properties is much more effort than looking at a picture the applicant has attached. Do they really have that much time (and the will) to basically background check every single applicant?
