What is the point of using linkedin if you're going to make me retype in all my work experience and education?

Date picker is bugged, Aug 2018 converts to Jul 2018

Funny that you have some R1 universities but not others

Estimated pay needs to be a range, if i need to relocate to NYC then the pay needs to be a lot higher than if its remote

We don't do that on purpose. After you submit your profile, we sync the orgs with LinkedIn if they're missing. If you come back in a while they'll all be synced.

Would be cool to load the profile in near real time. It's not terribly difficult. Give folk a spinny-page while it loads? Timeout after 8s?

Was it that slow? I think the DB got overwhelmed yesterday due to traffic.

[tavoyne]

Fair point. LinkedIn doesn't let you access users' experiences, but we're about to add an option for scraping them.

Yeah, my bad. We identified the pb and are fixing it.

I created a profile all the same, I don't have high expectations, but that's the good thing right? 15 minutes out of my day to dump my profile on your website with information that was public anyway. Maybe something comes of it maybe it doesn't. As long as I'm not getting spammed by you in my email it'll have been a good balance between risk and pay off.

Yeah, I agree it's not ideal.

No, we don't spam. No marketing emails of any sort. Only thing we ask is that you confirm monthly that your profile is still valid. It's one click from the email. You can opt out with one click too.

> [...] good balance between risk and payoff.

That's the idea. Once your profile is set up, there is nothing else you need to do. For many people on Candix, those few minutes spent on onboarding have well converted.
