Yeah. I’ve been looking in analytics and it’s awful. Any remote job on linked in gets over 200 applications (“people who clicked ‘Apply’”) in the first day. If you see a posting more than a day out it’s very likely to have more than 1000 applications (I’ve seen as much as 4500).
I emailed a recruiter about a posting recently when the job page on the company site was throwing an error. I told her about the error and asked if the job was real/still available. She said she’d gotten over 500 applications within a few hours of listing it and shut down the posting because she was overwhelmed. I think that’s the norm now.
