Are LinkedIn Applicant counts inflated somehow? Does it count anyone who hit the "apply" button? I am seeing jobs posted just hours ago that have hundreds of applicants...these are for somewhat obscure jobs. Makes no sense Any insight @LinkedIn folks?
Maybe some people are really desperate if they apply even for mediocre tech jobs. And 1 desperate person can apply for 100 jobs.
It seems like jobs can be reposted and the counter won't restart.
