Getting an interview at LinkedIn

Hello Blind, How did you get a SWE interview with LinkedIn? I've been trying so hard to get one, online applications, contacting recruiters and random LinkedIn employees for a referral, what am I missing? I have a little over 2.5 years of backend software development experience. #linkedin #linkedinhiring

Probably your resume then. Even I have an SWE interview with them and I’m not even in an SWE role

How did you apply?

I actually got my resume reviewed a couple times and it looked like I was a good fit for the roles I applied/asked for a referral. That's why it's a mystery to me.

Have a good resume and a great LinkedIn profile. I did both and got calls after applying online and once the recruiter reached out himself. You can try getting a referral as well!

I don’t have any SWE headcount left and pretty sure a lot of my peers are in the same boat. When we have SWE openings we fill them super fast

What do you look for while filling those roles?
