Easy Apply (LinkedIn)
In recruiter context
Easy Apply roles get hundreds of applications, often within hours of posting. Recruiters skim, and the ATS (where one is wired in) auto-rejects within minutes if your profile keywords don't match. As a candidate, treat Easy Apply as a low-effort top-of-funnel tactic at best. The roles where Easy Apply actually converts are usually high-volume entry-level postings.
