I tried creating a profile by logging in through LinkedIn.

I successfully logged in (twice), but at the end received an error: <my email> is not allowed to access this application.

I like the idea, will probably create a profile the old-fashioned way.

Update: definitely not a fan of the date picker. Extremely tedious to click my way back through the years.

Update^2: and the date picker keeps converting a selection of January 2013 to December 2012.

Weird... Can you send me your email at theophile@candix.com so I can check what happened?

Sent an email. I use 33mail.com for my LinkedIn address, might have something to do with it.

Yes, that's the reason. The auth provider (Clerk) marks it as disposable and won't accept it. I'll see if there's a way around it.

Es macht nichts. I've created a profile without it.

Seriously, though, please allow candidates to simply type in the dates. Entering dates for 8 jobs over 30 years was almost enough to make me abandon the effort.

Or default to the last year the user entered, at least.

Fair enough. It actually defaults to a text input expecting a YYYY-MM date if you disable JavaScript, so it shouldn't take long to implement.

I've just identified what's causing the date discrepancy. Will fix it now
