Has anyone ever gotten hired from a job posting? Meaning you know no one at the company and apply online. All these ATS applications seem futile...

Well darn. I was hoping you’d all say “no” and I could use it as an excuse to stop filling out the applications 🤣

Yes. I applied on the agency’s website and the recruiter reached out. I’m finding that’s relatively rare, but it does happen!

Yes I got hired at Leo from a job posting on LinkedIn. I applied 3 different times though 😂

Yes I’ve been hired in the past from LinkedIn. This time is slow goings tho- good luck

Yup, at this agency, 2 years ago

I have hired 4 or 5 people through Linkedin postings.

Yes

yep got a job offer, which i ended up not taking, from answering a job posting.

Yes, I applied through the website without a referral or contact. Everyone that i have since hired were also blind applicants, no foot in the door.

I’ve gotten almost every job that way.
