Summary

I agree. I hate it with a passion and usually regret loading the page within about 10s of doing so.But it’s the default for recruiters, and it’s thus unavoidable to support necessary communication with them.I’ve been thinking recently it’s surprising that they never carved off a communication and calendar/meeting function – ideally in a separate app. But this would probably hit some product manager’s metrics, and LinkedIn is so far down the enshittification hole, it’s also understandable that they didn’t.
