FYI, here's the posting.
Check out this job at Love-my-work: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4272457232
The company is a bit suspicious, having only 4 employees on LI, including a welder and a doctor, but I think the insane number of applicants is still pretty telling of how bad things have gotten.
This one is by far the worst I've seen, but all remote job postings get hundreds and often thousands of applications within a few days.
Having done some IT work for my company's HR department, its definitely a bad sign. But it's more indicative of the volume of spam these open listings receive daily. We're straight past looking at jobs that don't come with human referrals anymore, because there sheer volume of fake accounts and resumes is debilitating.
