Oh and it's Indeed too so they will spam the ever-loving hell out of your email (unfortunately dealing with job searching presently)

linkedin whon't let you look at anything just like facebook. it is quite annoying.

My partner has been looking for a job for a year.

Two weeks ago she supplied her passport to the main job seeking website in our country, which gave her profile a blue "verified" tick. Since then she's had 4 job interviews, more than she's had in the last 6 months.

Recruiters are being flooded with low quality applications, many of them AI-generated bullshit, many of them from overseas. Proving you are who you say you are and that you are in the right country seems to be necessary, now.

What's the problem? Recruiter or the company needs a your data to hire you. If indeed is not kind of broker, but just a blackboard with jobs, you can for sure put any data.

Enshittification

Indeed is a waste of time imho

You might want to try https://hiring.cafe/ as a possible alternative. I wouldn't give it a complete endorsement though since I've had frequent issues getting the site to consistently load in Firefox (just checked now and it's "failing to verify my browser") and I get the impression they will sellout at the first opportunity even though their stated goal is to unseat Indeed & LinkedIn.

But I refuse to make an Indeed account (or LinkedIn) so it's the lesser of two evils atm.

Good luck to you in your search.
