Some estimates say that, depending on industry and position, between 35-45% of jobs feature the “Easy Apply” option on LinkedIn. The main advantage of using “Easy Apply” is that you can apply for jobs much more quickly. But be smart about the jobs you apply for and avoid a scattershot (vs. targeted) approach. A main complaint we hear from recruiters is that people are reading job ads too quickly and using “Easy Apply” to submit applications for roles that aren’t suitable.
