I had a LinkedIn account that I relied on during my job search after leaving my previous position. I had built a professional network of over 100 contacts, including HR professionals and recruiters. Unfortunately, my account was hacked, and I lost access to all my contacts because the hacker used my email.

I attempted to resolve the situation by contacting LinkedIn several times to retrieve my account. I provided the requested documentation, including a picture of my state ID, but did not receive a response. I highlighted that the email they sent for password recovery was linked to a different account, but this didn't lead to any assistance.

This experience has been frustrating, as I viewed LinkedIn as an essential tool for career development. However, I found their customer service lacking, with no direct line for support. Based on this experience, I believe there may be significant flaws in how they assist users, and I've since turned to Indeed for my job search needs.

If one wants the verified status on one's profile, one has to verify oneself via the identity card... It would be logical if, after verification, there was no talk about a passport, which is seemingly something completely different! But even during the verification process there is still talk of an identity card! The verification process is handled by the third-party service provider "Persona"!

I should probably also mention that the CHEAPEST premium plan costs 29.49! EUR per month! The highest 122,92! EUR if one is a recruiter and wants to find job candidates

Wasteful harassment
November 8, 2024

Harassment, plain and simple. They will never honor your requests to unsubscribe from their endless spam or even delete your own account. Not worth it, to deal with mostly fake job offerings.

I've been a LinkedIn user for quite some time and have spent years building my connections. Recently, my account was hacked, and when I reached out to LinkedIn for help, they responded by sending a password reset link. Unfortunately, this reset link was sent directly to the hacker. I then received several emails, one notifying me that my password had been reset, followed by another saying that my two-step verification had been changed, and finally, one stating that my name had been altered. LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft, essentially handed my account over to the hacker.

If you are a business or someone seeking work, I would caution against using LinkedIn, as their support is extremely poor, and it seems easier for hackers to gain access to accounts than for legitimate users to recover them.

Complicated Crockery!
September 5, 2024

All I want is to shut down my LinkedIn account, but they make it too complicated to do so! I contact support, but they want my email address?! How about I call my attorney Frederico Antonucci?! Huh?! I call up the best damn attorneys from Brooklyn!

AVOID THESE SPAMMERS! I was looking for info and gave my email. It is NON-STOP SPAM, and they have MILLIONS of check-boxes you need to check to stop ALL THE SPAM. No ONE BOX to stop it all. And you can't even CLOSE the account until you verify it. The WORST SPammers EVER! Your best bet is to add them to a spam filter rather than play their game!

1-month free trial
June 8, 2024

If they need your credit card number then it's not a 1-month free trial. I wanted to view something on the site, but they don't let you view anything unless you're a paying member. You can sign up for a 1-month free trial, but when you click that option, they want your credit card number. Scam.
