I am looking for new jobs as a Cloud Engineer. Being privacy conscious makes the job hunt relatively hard. I don’t use LinkedIn. But most companies publish their openings on websites like this and almost all of them are a privacy nightmare.
As soon as you make an account on them, you are bombarded with thousands of emails and targeted ads. But if I made a temporary email for this purpose, I feel I might get blacklisted.
Honestly I feel kind of sad about today’s corporate field.
Just a warning that LinkedIn and the like try to link your private and corporate information.
Its true but they also aren’t accounting for people actively trying to prevent that. Like someone else said below, dedicated email, dedicated phone number, use containers in your browser, use a work profile on your phone, etc. It may raise red flags somewhere but it is what it is.
