Not nescessary, but formed in an application form yesterday that just asked for name, cv and linkedin. No motivation or anything. I don't have much hope for that particular application, but it shows that it is a part of the general application process in some places.
For applications that have a required a LinkedIn url field, most of the time they will accept just “https://www.linkedin.com/%E2%80%9C as a valid url. I have never had a LinkedIn profile and have been called for an interview after doing that. Maybe it’s a standard template for some job application forms and/or the employer doesn’t care about it too much.
Why specifically that URL? I've never used the site, is it the template for a link to a real profile?
It’s the beginning of the url to any real LinkedIn profile, which I guess is all the application form validates for. It wouldn’t allow me to submit the application when I tried to enter a written explanation that I don’t use LinkedIn.
