You can get around that by putting the LI URL to the joblisting; or any link - none of the ATS' reject the content in that field.
Yes, there's a risk of rejection but personally I don't mind being ghosted by companies that practice this unethical behavior.

Agreed. Once your profile is set (required if you want to give recruiters something to chew on), there's no need to use - except https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/ - any other part of the biome.
People are using it as a SOCIAL network, then grousing that it sucks as a social network. And?!!
Love it or Hate it, the most-accessible job listings are on LI - more so because that's where most (American) companies & recruiters post to, knowing it's where they'll find the most-accessible candidates. If you're serious about jobsearching, you canNOT not use LI's jobs service.
Sure, LI continually enshitts on that property also, like allowing "aggregators" and outright scrapebots to enshit into the listings pool; and soon forcing their AI version of jobsearch without opt-out. It's LI/Microsoft - what did we expect?
Fortunately there're some tools to make the experience bearable and almost useful.

"Stig's Last.fm Album Linkr" ~ https://greasyfork.org/scripts/21153
> Adds 'album-headers' with album-links in Recent Tracks and Library Scrobbles sections on last.fm profiles. When two or more tracks from the same 'album' have been played successively, an album-header row will be inserted above.
> Two bonus features:
> Add an Album Collage from tapmusic.net to user profiles.
> Linkify the 'About Me' section on user profiles, so any URLs there become clickable links.

It was definitely undisclosed self-promotion - and apparently also clickbait and ragebait: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49820340. It worked!
Extra benefit-- is now we cannot remove our upvotes - thanks HN! - so it'll stay high in the ranking, at least for awhile.

My standard procedure when looking at job listings is to search references of the company on HN, to see if there's any chitchat about its services/products.
Just 2 months ago I found a LI listing for a company that even has a "Show HN" - "...one of the fastest-growing security and compliance platforms in history." Not much chatter about it, but enough I felt assured to apply to the listing.
It's only after I clicked Submit that I discovered a factoid on the LI listing: it had been open for NINE months. The company's ATS does not show time-of-posting.
Worse-- just right now, I went to both the company's ATS listing and Linkedin: the posting is still open, 11 months now and counting.
Oh, and no surprise-- no response to my application, two months later.

> "Farside was created before the explosion of AI-driven scraping and bot traffic. As a result, querying instance status is no longer reliable due to bot-detection and challenge systems (which I understand and am in favor of, btw). Since the project is no longer practical to operate and maintain, it is being archived."

Want to block these and other AI trash sites? Both from websearches - via uBlacklist[1], and references within other sites - via content-blockers like uBlock Origin[2]?
Use this filterlist! -- https://github.com/alvi-se/ai-ublock-blacklist

There're no discussions on HN about this company; I would think there would be, especially with concerns about the surveillance technology industry eg Flock. (There are threads about 'Spatial AI' and 'Spatial intelligence'.)
I never heard about this company until reviewing a (unicorn-seeking) job listing on their ATS. Then saw the following post on Reddit from a concerned worker at a company that started rolling-out this product/service: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladviceaustralia/comments/1ubnh...
This company started business in 2024. (Founded 2023?) Here's a supposed interview with the founder[3].
A piece on [2] laughably begins with "retail employees are empowered" by using these devices. (Side-note: I'm suspicious [2] and [3] are, in part, AI-generated content -farms.)
