Engineer Sues Linkedin after getting rejected from 3000+ job applications

Failing to get a call back after applying for 3000+ jobs in the past 6 months, Software Architect Pramod Kumar has filed a lawsuit against Linkedin for publishing fake jobs. I have a decade of IT experience and have worked for multiple technology companies in different geographies Pramod introduced himself. No matter how many open positions I applied to on Linkedin, I did not get a callback. I started copy-pasting the exact job description into my resume but still couldn’t get shortlisted. How is that even possible? he asked.

Suspicious Activity

People want to keep their job search secret for obvious reasons. This creates a perfect opportunity for fraud, something I believe Linkedin is doing He explained. It’s the same thing that Ashley-Madison did when they created fake profiles to lure customers, He blurted. Although I have never seen a cheating website like Ashley-Madison, I have read about it in newspapers and know people who used it the married, father of two explained with a tense look. I have stopped seeing those people since He explained, glancing at his visibly agitated wife.

Statistics

Our research found out that an average user on Linkedin apply for 672 jobs before getting a call back. This figure is in line with other scam sites like Ashley Madison, Craigslist, Wish.com and E-bay. Premium users have an average time of 8 months to land an offer. 99.3721% of Linkedin users cancel their premium membership after getting an offer, similar to what Game of Thrones viewers do with HBO subscription.

The Litigation

We have a strong case against Linkedin as their business model creates a conflict of interest with candidates. If you find a job without premium membership or within a few days of premium membership, they lose potential business. said Andrew, attorney at David & Cooper law firm, representing Pramod.

Our independent investigators have found a lot of objectionable practices, fake profiles, and openings on Linkedin. We have seen jobs posted for firms that have no openings and profiles of recruiters that do not exist. A company with under 200 employees has over 600 listed on Linkedin. We are easily winning this one. Andrew proclaimed. ‘We are also suing those who share fake motivational stories, stuff about good/bad boss and copied wisdom about management and HR, just to get likes and comments. They negatively trigger the already frustrated job seekers’ he concluded.
