Same. I saw a job on LinkedIn that had 1000+ applies yet it was asking for quite a few skills. I wonder if these numbers are being gamed somehow? Are they accurate? Are there bots involved?



I remember reading that the numbers include the applicants from previous times the same job opening was posted. That's why you get hundreds of applicants 3 hours after the job was listed.


EasyApply filter on, hit apply on every job for the first 10 pages that even remotely mentions something you do, want to do, or thought about once.

I would not be surprised if jobs were getting 1000+ applicants.
