Does anyone actually get jobs through using LinkedIn easy apply? If there’s a cover letter submission component- how important is that part? In general are cover letters super important?

I got my current job at a Publicis agency through the Easy Apply option. To be fair, I had just gotten laid off that day (pre covid) and was still kind of in shock so I just needed to do something to make myself feel like I was moving forward. And just went down the row on LinkedIn and only applied to jobs with the Easy Apply option. It turned out be a role I really wanted. Other than that, I don’t know that I have ever heard back from jobs via the Easy Apply option

Thanks so much! Agreed i think timing is important. In general, I think a great cover letter is also important if the ask is there.
