🚀 We're excited to unveil a new Query Builder to @vlt.sh's UI. It's now dead simple to visually navigate complex dependency graph filters without typing a thing. No need to memorize our selector syntax (if you don't want to).

Notably, I think paying a recruiter for non-leadership roles is a waste but LinkedIn is on another level. I've always hated the advertising industry & never thought posting a job would be treated as advertising in disguise. Seems like the "state-of-the-art" in "professional networks"/HR is a swamp.

True story, I posted a job last night & *poof* the budget was gone in ~15min. Results: with a max budget of $100USD (the lowest possible) I got 2 applicants & 10 "viewers"(whatever that means?). That's an INSANE CPI/CPC w/ zero insight on price determination, quality of impressions or demographics.

Worse, if you choose the "average daily budget" they can & do go over that budget all the time (to the tune of >50% the budget). Again, zero transparency as to what you got for that money & the whole experience is clunky AF with missing table-stakes features (ex. preview) while they charge premiums.

But get this, they force you to set either a daily "average budget" or a max total for the campaign. Thing is, they don't tell you how they meter/charge that "budget" which is absolutely INSANE. No visibility into what you're getting for your money.

Posting a job to LinkedIn is a dumpster fire 💩🔥 I don't know how they're still running their opaque pricing racket. Apparently, if you have a "hot" job title (ie. ANY at all right now) then you MUST pay for a "promoted" posting 🤨 Think Uber's surge pricing but drivers are paying & MUST pay to drive.
