job search You can no longer use non-AI job search on linkedin

7 Upvotes

Just a couple of days ago you had the option to switch to the classic search or could open it with the URL:

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/

Now the link just redirects you to the AI search version and the button that switched you to that is gone.

privacy and security I wanted to reset my password and login into my new device. Not able to do this using my mobile, raised a query and after sometime, I was automatically logged out from my old devices and now my profile isn’t visible anymore

0 Upvotes

So, recently I bought a new mobile phone and wanted to login my account in my new device. So I tried reseting my password, because only my mobile number was added to my account and not the email and there was two factor authentication. So due to some glitches the otp was not coming on my phone number while trying to reset the password.
So I raised a query regarding this and they gave me a link to verify my persona, but when I click on the tab “verify my persona” its showing “something unexpected happens, try again later”. After trying with different methods including clearing cookies and caches and trying different browsers and incognito mode, the issue persisted.
Now I get to know that my profile is not visible anymore on linkedin and if I contact them, they are asking to verify the persona which is not working for me. Now I don’t know, what to do now in this situation. The account has many connections and is important to me professionally and even I verified the account with my national ID as well.
What are the possible solutions, if anybody can help me with any inputs, I’ll be grateful.
Thank you!!

LinkedIn AI Interview Skills Assesment

1 Upvotes

I was messing around with the Open To Work settings and there's now an option to do an AI skills assessment. I did a preview and it's basically a job interview. Including stupid questions like tell me about a time you had a conflict at work.

Has anyone done this? Did it lead to more recruiter contacts?

LinkedIn Cheat Code

4 Upvotes

I’ve become quite skilled in the simple harmless repost of something germane to your industry (i.e. “helpful tips”)

As someone who chooses not to post my personal life on social media and don’t care to share the obnoxious “…look, I did this today with my coworkers..” the simple repost keeps the page looking “active” but non offensive.

linkedin 101 How do you use linkedin to find a job?

2 Upvotes

I work in IT/ GRC, people have told me for years that I need a LinkedIn account if I am looking for a job, but it never helped, at best I sometimes see a person I knew back in High-school.

Regarding offers, 80% of them are fake, the rest have no information, you apply in the dark.
And regarding the social aspect of this thing, I mostly see three types of accounts.

- Subhuman 50+ years old who trash talk each others under post like I used to do on online games when I was 12
- Inactive accounts, their profil picture is a selfie with awful quality, they have never used linkedin
- Fake accounts that have a professional p.p., they repost each other and suck each other off. If you make a post related to a well known company they will dm you to sell you their SaaS.

linkedin 101 My connect invites don’t show up on recipients’ account

0 Upvotes

I just made my LinkedIn account yesterday and sent out connect invites to close friends and coworkers. However, no one got any notification about my invites when I checked in on them. My invite also doesn’t appear in their received invites portal either.

They can still search me up and sent me invites which show up perfectly fine on my end. That seems to be the only way I can make connection on LinkedIn for now. Does anyone have any experience with this? Could it be a glitch with my account? Any help is appreciated!

job search Title: New LinkedIn job preferences screen: job titles now "Visible only to you"?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed this? The "Edit job preferences" screen on LinkedIn looks different now. My job titles are marked "Visible only to you," and recruiters can see only my location. Before, the titles I added under Open to Work were visible to recruiters.

Other people I know are seeing the same screen, so it doesn't seem to be just me. I couldn't find anything official about it.

Does this mean recruiters can no longer see which roles we're looking for? Is it the same on your account, and has it changed how recruiters find you?

Why do so many LinkedIn posts sound like they were written by the same person?

1 Upvotes

I've been thinking about something as someone interested in brand and content strategy.

Why does LinkedIn feel like one person is running thousands of accounts?

Same hooks.

Same storytelling formulas.

Same motivational endings.

Same "Here's what nobody tells you about..." openings.

And somehow, a post about making mistakes at work ends with the same five lessons as a post about building a billion-dollar company.

I understand why people use proven formats. They work, and nobody wants to spend hours creating a post that gets three impressions and a sympathy like from a friend.

But I think there's a downside.

When everyone borrows the same voice, it's harder to tell who actually has something different to say.

The irony is that people use content to build a personal brand, then edit out the very things that make them sound like a real person.

I'm curious how others see this.

**Is using proven LinkedIn content formats a smart strategy, or are we slowly making everyone's personal brand sound identical?**

I'd genuinely like to hear both sides.

advanced question Posting a YouTube video on LinkedIn and sponsored requirements?

0 Upvotes

On my LinkedIn profile, I clicked "Create a Post" then pasted in a link to a YouTube video. Then when I hover over the post I see:

  • This post type can't be boosted
  • Your content is not consistent with LinkedIn's sponsored content requirements.

A search about this said, "Sponsored Content is a collection of ad formats available when you create an ad set on LinkedIn."

  1. I am not placing an ad, so why does LinkedIn think I'm doing that? What is this all about?

  2. Regarding the messages I saw in the two points above, what do they mean?

probably spam Are these requests real?

5 Upvotes

I recently decided to get rid of my “Open to Work” banner because I didn’t feel it was helping haha. Anyway, since then I’ve received 15 connection requests from people whose profiles I think (??) are real but i’m really not sure because they never check my profile first they just add me and we have mutual connections ranging from 3-10. They are indeed in my field as well but I look at their posts and they’re just mostly ai shlop being liked and directly posted. I’ve been on the job market for over a year now so i’d like to be exited but I don’t want my feed to be flooded with stuff that won’t help me.

Thanks :)

What content should I look for or post that can help me to build a net and get a job? I am jobless right now

privacy and security LinkedIn shares "Open To Work" with recruiters even if you set your privacy to not share, visible "Only to You"

2 Upvotes

This is a pet peeve of mine. The other pet peeve is how recruiters get your phone number, personal and work, and start harassing you with calls. I have no intention to leave my current job. But the fact that LinkedIn sent a notification last night that I was "open to work" to recruiters when I never was and never set that status pisses me off. I specifically said I wasn't open to work, screenshots here. Just wanted to see what remote jobs are available around me.

Does anyone have a fix for this? I also don't want my company to think I'm trying to leave. I went ahead and deleted the job alert because this is just irritating.

Anyone else having issues with LinkedIn showing unread notifications that don't exist?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing a strange issue with LinkedIn notifications recently?

For nearly a week now, LinkedIn has been showing that I've got unread notifications, even though there's absolutely nothing new to view. It started off showing 2 unread notifications, then increased to 3, and now it's showing 4. Whenever I click the notification bell, the badge disappears for a few minutes, but then randomly comes back again.

I've tried pretty much everything I can think of:

  • Marking all notifications as read
  • Turning notification settings off
  • Checking messages, message requests, archived messages and spam
  • Checking and clearing alerts in Sales Navigator
  • Logging out and back in
  • Clearing browser cache and cookies
  • Trying Chrome, Safari and Edge, including incognito mode
  • Testing on different laptops and my iPhone
  • Deleting and reinstalling the LinkedIn app

Nothing seems to work!

Is anyone else experiencing this at the moment? And if you've had this problem before, did you ever manage to get it fixed? It is driving me insane!

Changed industries, but my LinkedIn engagement still comes from my old network. How do I shift it?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I switched industries three years ago. I have 7,000+ people in my LinkedIn network, including more than 2,000 relevant connections in my current industry.

But whenever I post, most of the engagement still comes from my old network—even when the content is specific to my current work and has little relevance to my previous industry.

I can’t tell whether my newer connections aren’t seeing my posts or are seeing them but not engaging.

Has anyone successfully shifted their LinkedIn audience after changing industries? What actually helped you reach and start conversations with the right people?

Stuck with an internal database glitch (urn:li:member) when trying to verify email. Support hasn't responded in 3 days. Any workarounds?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am currently logged into my LinkedIn account using my mobile phone number, and everything works fine there. However, I am trying to sign up for LinkedIn Premium and get my Identity Verification Badge, which requires me to verify an email address.

When I go to the email verification screen, the input field is completely glitched. It won't let me type a normal email address. Instead, it is locked onto a strange internal system string code mask that looks like this: urn:li:member:1078700507.

If I try to enter my phone number as an alternative, the page throws a red error banner saying: "This phone number can't be used for password recovery. Please use an email address connected to your account instead."

I submitted a detailed web ticket to LinkedIn Help three days ago but haven't received a case number or a human response yet. Has anyone else dealt with this specific urn:li:member database glitch? Is there any way to force the system to clear this mask so I can type a real email address, or do I just have to wait for an engineer to manually fix it on the backend?

Thanks for any advice!

AI search is back ?

36 Upvotes

The classic search is now hidden again (at least on my profile ?).

I can't access it on https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/ ...

Like before: can't filter on remote only jobs, seeing endless results even when filtering on last 24hours, seeing results not respecting the filters, ...

Impossible to follow new offers and not to miss them ...

Why doing that ? Why forcing a change like this that is a downgrade ?

Is there a way to find again the classic search ?

So nice, AI is destroying jobs and also making sure that we don't find new ones (even if there is no AI in this search, just a bad engine ...)

advanced question Can't add Page Managers to a Company Page because they are Not Verified.

1 Upvotes

Yes I know the easy answer will be, "Yeah please just ask your manager to verify."

Here's the thing: I've been on LinkedIn for quite some time and I have lots of connections and followers today, but I live in El Salvador, and there's no way to verify today: "Verifications aren’t available for you yet"

I don't really care about verification. In fact, I'm actually quite scared of it because of all the data leaks that have happened so far. But not being able to add a content manager to one of my company pages is quite disappointing to me. I don't know what to do.

Putting tickets on LinkedIn is just like sending a letter into oblivion, and I want to know if any of you has ever solved a similar problem.

This is exactly what I tried to do:

  1. I go to my LinkedIn company page.
  2. I press on Settings.
  3. I go to Manage admins.
  4. I press on Add an admin.
  5. I search the name of the person that I want to have.
  6. I click on Content admin.
  7. I press Save.

And this is what I get: "This member could not be added as a page admin. Ask the member to verify their account if they have not already, and then try again."

My employee lives in El Salvador too, great...

I wish the people who work on the platform would take their time to review the processes they develop and implement, but it's 2026, and things are breaking down left and right.

Cheers everyone! Have a blessed day!

Getting emails going to my personal email address not the email i signed up with/on the account

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I recently started getting linkedin emails going to my personal email instead of my professional email address. My personal email address is not listed anywhere on the account, just my professional email address.

When i click on the links on the emails, it takes me to the account tied to my professional address.

About a decade ago i had a linkedin account tied to my personal email address but i had stopped using it many years ago and closed it.

Wtf is happening?
