Transcript

00:00Just a few days back, I got a connection request on LinkedIn offering matrimonial services

00:12for Ivy League and B-School grads.

00:15To my surprise, LinkedIn is emerging as a big market for matrimonials, with many leading

00:19wedding portals even requiring authentication and verification from the site just to make

00:24a profile.

00:25This woman also took matters into her own hands and turned to dating apps like Hinge

00:30to find a job instead.

00:32Fed up with job searching, sending resumes, cold emailing, all to get ghosted by the company's

00:37HR, Claude was tired of spending her days, weeks and months scouring job portals.

00:42Taking to X, Claude, who is a musician by profession, shared screenshots of her replies

00:47to men who had liked her profile on the app.

00:50In the messages, she is seen openly asking if they are hiring without any greeting or

00:53small talk.

00:54This distinctive approach to job hunting has social media in splits, with many rooting

00:59for her and sharing their experiences.

01:02Internet users love how real she is and hope the virality of the post does get her a job,

01:06to which Claude replied,

01:08This mirrors an upcoming trend where people are turning to job portals like LinkedIn to

01:12find dates and love, and resorting to dating apps in desperation to secure jobs.

01:16As more and more people get fed up with swiping on dating apps that merely give an illusion

01:21of choice, job portals become a more refreshing platform to have a conversation instead, just

01:26like a morning or coffee shop run.

01:28Meanwhile, LinkedIn and Indeed are slowly turning into black holes to find jobs, as

01:33most people get replies for everything but jobs.

01:36Dating app fatigue is real, and so is it for job searching, so why not switch platforms

01:41instead?
