LinkedIn # of applicants accurate?

Does anyone know if these numbers are legit? They look super low, but maybe I’m just being cynical in thinking LinkedIn just wants me to feel good about my chances

If anything it might be reflecting a higher number than it actually is. Sometimes i hit “apply” and then decide the position isn’t right for me and that still counts as an "application”

A lot of people bypass and go straight to the company website to apply.

Employers seem to repost the same job over and over. I think the number of applicants shown corresponds shows how many applied via that specific instance of the LinkedIn job posting.

I'm trying to suss out if a new member of our dept hates me or my team (she manages a different team).

My initial take is she's just hard to read and probably a tightly controlled introvert. My direct report felt she's 'cold as ice,' 'bristling' at our suggestions, and forming a clique that wants to do their own thing with no input from our team. He's triggered very easily, and there was no explicit evidence, just a 'vibe' so I wrote it off. (See 1st comment)

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.
