The end of another great LinkedIn hack
It was great
while it lasted wasn’t it? We’ve had a great method for uncovering the names
that aren't immediately obvious on LinkedIn using the http://www.linkedin.com/pymk/pcard?mid= (candidate number) hack, recently publicised
on various websites. This has allowed us to use the above address plus a
potential candidates number to uncover their full name (leading to the below):
Unfortunately
it appears LinkedIn has gotten wise to our sourcing games and have
managed to block off this loophole. It also appears that this is a staged roll
out as this method seems to still be working for me but not for a number of my
colleagues. *Edit - It has now stopped working for all of us in our office. Instead of the above card they are getting redirected straight to
the People You May Know page. Sad times.
Luckily for
us some of the other, slower, methods still work but I’m sure it won’t be long
until the next hack appears. It may even already exist! Well time to get
searching.
Happy hunting
and happy Christmas!
