How to grow your LinkedIn company profile

- Post a fake job, fully remote, 6 figure salary

- Get legitimately thousands of job applicants on LinkedIn to apply

- When they apply, auto select the "Follow <companyName> on LinkedIn?"?

- 90% of applicants don't notice, and auto follow

No joke. That is the playbook. Do we really think 97,000 people are following DuckDuckGo because they're interested in hearing their marketing and culture posts? (no offense to DuckDuckGo, they're not the only one to do this)

Honestly, I think it's even more insidious: They're betting on the applicant following the company thinking it'll increase the applicant's odds of being "noticed."
