LinkedIn and Monster remove about 1,500 misleading job ads after CBC investigation

LinkedIn and Monster have removed about 1,500 misleading job postings after a CBC News investigation found they steered applicants into Evolution Travel, a U.S.-based multi-level marketing company. The remote, no-experience-needed ads, some promising up to US$75,000 yearly, used names such as Wanderwell Collective and never mentioned Evolution Travel or fees. Applicants were invited to information sessions and asked to pay hundreds of dollars upfront plus a monthly fee. LinkedIn removed close to 900 ads, saying they violated its policy, and Monster removed 600. Evolution Travel, which does not operate in Canada, says it tells agents not to post job ads.
