Sadly some 'jobs' post positions just to collect resumes and sell the data. Just kicking us while we're down really ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Lol restaurants don't have time for that shit. Who would buy that kind of data from a restaurant anyway? Even if you had more than 200 applicants a month that would probably net you less than $10.

If it's a chain I could definitely see corporate setting up some automated system to do that.

doesn't need a chain. many companies save money offloading the application process to an external website, and that one manages it for a lot of different companies and then sells your data

Is this actually happening and how can I start a lawsuit around it?

Happens a LOT on LinkedIn. Be wary of recruiters who seem to immediately want your resume and nothing else before providing you with information.

https://furry.energy/@nightpaws/113160692379772043 I read this earlier today. Am I better off just deleting my LinkedIn?

Not just resumes either. I went through 2 interviews for a company, and then was suddenly ghosted after they'd collected the data they needed. They reached out to me, offering a position and when I told them how much I wanted for it (I didn't realize I'd told them less than they had it listed for, since I hadn't seen their job openings before being reached out to) they ghosted me and updated their job posting to match my desired pay
