Users suggest a star rating feature to hold individuals accountable for their networking behavior, allowing others to rate their interactions. This could help improve the quality of networking on the platform.
I reached out to a hiring manager about an opportunity and was politely told that she didn't have any openings currently but would "keep me in mind in the future" and to "reach back out if I saw any open positions posted online i was interested in". 3 months later, she posts an opening on her team for all of LinkedIN to see. I send a polite message asking about the role and reminding her that she said to reach out to her. She blocks me. These people just suck. So if it was a polite way of saying not interested, then dont tell me to reach out or make up a story about no roles when she probably knew they were going to be added. But blocking seems kind of childish when I did exactly as she asked. I think a lot of these people just like to virtue signal or check a box that "i posted about the role on LinkedIN, and they have zero desire to follow up with leads or actually recruit" LinkedIN has become a networking nightmare, liars and insincere managers. False postings. The networking feature is all but dead. The worst part is there is ZERO accountability. Maybe they need a star rating feature. Once all these shitty people have 1 stars maybe then people wont want to deal with them or work for them either.
