The vast majority of clients did research on the platform and then were "checked out" by employers. The submit by linkedin attempts seemed to go into dark hole. Better to make a contact at the company and/or apply direct if you can.
Dont forget about all their tricks over the years. We got post-truth recently, but one day, post-ethics will catch up with SV companies.
