2005 called me. They want their rant back. They've been doing this as long as I can ever remember. My record was about 5 click through until finally actually got directed to AstraZenecas own webpage where you applied direct.

LinkedIn contract search rant

LinkedIn seems to have sorted the clickbait jobs where you click on one and get redirected 6 times to a job that doesn't exist or was published 2 months ago, so good. However now they have these "promoted" job ads a few of them have a job title which could be interesting, but virtually always they are not within my specialisms, most are just absolutely worthless.
When I put in a search term which is quite niche, for contracts added in the last 24 hours get 125 results of which 95% or more "promoted" you still have to trawl to all of them to see if there is anything relevant. Does Premium make these promoted ones go away? Or any tips how to avoid them? /End Rant
