Well, so the company, HiQ, is basically scraping every time you update your linked in, to tell your employer you might be about to leave.

Now maybe that's cool with you. But it seems super sketchy to me, and one reason I deleted my linkedIn altogether.



You made the correct decision.

It is not "cool" with me. It just means that it isn't a factor for me. I would not have used LI for a job search in any obvious way.

If I keep a fairly current and active generic profile, then LI is useful, and no one needs to know whether or not I'm looking.
