🎯 The Job Hunt Is Broken—And Even LinkedIn Knows It

🎯 The Job Hunt Is Broken—And Even LinkedIn Knows It

4 months.

That's the new average time it takes to land a job, according to LinkedIn's own data.

Not four weeks. Not a few conversations. Four. Months.

That's not a market problem.
That's a system failure.


🚨 The Hidden Costs of a Broken Hiring Funnel

Let's break it down:

  • 100+ applications
  • 20 replies (if that)
  • 5 interviews
  • 1 offer
  • Months of anxiety in between

Every step? Designed to benefit someone else—not you.

🎯 Job boards profit the longer you scroll

🤖 Resume filters reward formatting, not outcomes

📉 Recruiters waste hours triaging inboxes

👻 And great candidates get ghosted, filtered, or missed completely


🤯 Even LinkedIn Is Telling You It's Time to Jump Ship

Here's the part they won't say out loud: LinkedIn's own report proves the system they've built is failing you.

They're telling you it now takes 120 days to find a job—on their own platform.

Let that sink in.

The people who monetized endless scrolling, resume keyword games, and recruiter paywalls…
…are now confirming that their system doesn't work.

This isn't just broken.
It's enshitified.

And no amount of InMails, green banners, or boosted posts will fix that.


🧠 Vetta Is the Alternative the Market's Been Waiting For

At Vetta, we don't do resumes.
We don't do job boards.
We don't do filters designed to reward sameness.

We do this:

✅ Start with the problem the company is trying to solve

✅ Match it to candidates who've solved it before

✅ Let AI handle the screening, scoring, and scheduling

✅ Cut hiring time from 120 days to under 10

No scrolling. No ghosting. No BS.


💥 The 4-Month Job Hunt Isn't a Timeline—It's a Red Flag

If the system is telling you to wait 120 days to get hired, the system needs to go.

LinkedIn accidentally made our case for us.

Vetta isn't just faster.
It's built for outcomes, not impressions.

🧡 Let's unshitify hiring.
Let's end the resume race.
Let's get people working again—on the things that matter.

If you've ever been rejected for a role you know you can do, just because your last title didn't match, you're not alone. Traditional hiring relies heavily on surface-level signals that don't reflect what you've actually accomplished.

The Scope Creep Is Real: Why You're Still Hiring After 9 Interviews

You define the problem. You draft a role. You post the listing. Then you start interviewing. And that's when it happens. Before you know it, you're not hiring for the role you posted. You're hiring for something new. Something… bigger. Something fuzzier. You're chasing the ghost of an ever-expanding unicorn.
