It always pisses me off when I see recruitment threads that asks for (profile url) why is that even needed for? You could just click the username and you would get it lol

Probably if users get a name change when within the group, they still have the profile URL as a link to identify the user.

i always used it as a filler question honestly. the response above me is what i would've used it for if i had a spreadsheet containing members/potential members

Yea because owners and leaders do regular reference checks.

lol

Because it is possible to change your username and having your uid right there makes it easier to keep track of members.

Clicking the username also gives you the UID and profile of the person as the OP states. OP got a good question.

because they are owner's of the group so they can ask anything lol
we just need to follow instructions bro that's what rules says

For me, when I made the recruitment using Google Forms and having to review 100 applications, it makes my life very much easier to have the profile link on each application. You may get pissed off of a 2 second job such as getting your profile link copied into the application, but it helps the leaders trendemensouly.
Sometimes, leaders might copy every application and save it somewhere for further reviewing or so, and having a profile link there makes it easy. If it pisses a member off to do a small task such as copying their profile link, then leaders shouldn't really consider him into their groups.

Which would be easier if you had 100+ applicants?

- Having them provide their URL/UID in the application form, right there for you to see
- Clicking each individual account, copy and pasting their URL/UID into a spreadsheet

OP got his question answered. I honestly get pissed off of those group owners that ask you to work graphically on your application. Like flowers and hearts will make an application bold 🤦‍♂

I would agree with Makaveli, you said it.
