Do you apply via LinkedIn?

Considering starting to look for new opportunities, but haven’t looked outside my own company in almost 10 years. Does the “apply via LinkedIn” work or do you always go directly to the company’s website?

Apply via LinkedIn takes you to the company's website with some fields pre-populated using your LinkedIn information. Either works.

No one is reaching out to you???

I haven’t applied yet, still just browsing. I don’t even know if I will, but in the “old” days, applying via LinkedIn was kinda a dead-end. Just wanting to hear if people in general do this or only the lazy people that never gets an interview :)

I see. I got an offer because ppl reached out to me. If anything, just go to the website directly and apply

I've done it a couple times. It shows when a recruiter or the poster viewed your profile. I've heard back from one recruiter by applying via LinkedIn
