> A huge portion of the posts are also propaganda. Finding a new job is tied to listening to propaganda.

I am 100% convinced that a significant number of job posts on LinkedIn are entirely fake and either 1) a way to farm resumes and contact details for sales 2) propaganda to make a company appear to be hiring more than it is.

Positions from companies like Andiamo, Jobgether, etc. are most likely #1 above, while Adyen, Affirm, Airwallex are the latter.

In fact I build a prototype classifier of job listings to separate true opportunities from bullshit posts, but I am too scared to publish it and get sued to oblivion.

I automated all the major job boards last week. I thought about creating large quantities of fake resumes with different permutations like education at MIT, Stanford, Harvard, University of Florida, ect to see where the limits of the AI filtering are. It's a nothing burger to send out 10,000 or 20,000 resumes. Figured out that I can do a fanout with AWS Lambda to bypass rate limiting with rotating IP address.

If I get desperate, I might find the the cut off for 200 - 300 companies and try to honestly get my resume into those parameters. At this time, it is below me to do that.
