Family members of mine are in tech, and do work that is in the 2xx,xxx range. One's based, one's semi-based. Both have had low levels of attention to their profiles on the regular but nothing outstanding given that the niche they both occupy is in demand and there isn't a lot of people to fill these seats. They both happen to be white people. One male, one female.
Linkedin has learning partnerships in a program called linkedin learning. Based person was doing some of these... got no real increase in attention. Out of bordem, my based family member completed their diversity training ESG/DIE program on linkedin.
Within 6 hours, literally, she had 8 people from 8 different companies reach out to her and ask her if she was looking for work. The next day, she had another 10 messages. Clearly, completing the humiliation ritual did something to the algorithm to give her top placement in searches.
Based told Semi-based. Semi-based family member completed it, but is male. Still suddenly went from getting no random messages to having 5 in his inbox after 12 hours.
What I'm saying is, play the game if you're desperate but be aware there's a fookin game afoot. I doubt, I severely doubt, anybody who is a recruiter put the ESG linkedin learning diversity bullshit as a requirement in their canvasing searches. But here we go, the company is putting their thumb on the scale for progressivism.
Progressives want you broke, homeless and starving.
(Maybe the boost in interaction is designed to be like a cult's "love bomb" to encourage engagement with wokeshit.)
Good lord people do those trainings now when they aren't on the clock?
But remember, you have smart phones and fast internet now and you didn't when you were a kid: therefore life is better, you should be happier, and if you aren't you're "spoiled".
or poor... dial up still exists and you can still get it if you want it.
