I applied online. I interviewed at MAERSK (Groveport, OH) in Nov 2025
Interview
I was contacted by a Maersk recruiter via Indeed about an Account Manager role. I applied, followed up professionally, and then the process stalled because the recruiter “couldn’t find me on LinkedIn.”
Let me be clear: LinkedIn is not a job requirement, a qualification, or a legal form of verification.
I had already submitted a full application and resume through the company’s own system.
If Maersk’s hiring process depends on whether a candidate maintains a third-party social media profile, that’s not recruiting — that’s lazy gatekeeping and over-reliance on automation.
For a company that claims to value people, integrity, and inclusivity, this experience felt impersonal, outdated, and frankly ridiculous. Being reached out to and then quietly deprioritized over LinkedIn optics is a waste of candidates’ time and reflects poorly on internal hiring standards.
Do better.
To apply, complete the website application including your dissertation, await an HR call for preliminary screening, and prepare for the final stage: an online interview with the hiring panel (director and manager of the account).
