Job Hunter for LinkedIn

Every day, real hiring opportunities scroll past you on LinkedIn. Someone in your network posts "We're hiring a backend engineer, DM me" or shares an opening with their personal email and a two-line pitch — five minutes later it's buried under thirty other updates, and unless you happened to be staring at your screen at exactly the right moment, it's gone. And it's not just posts — LinkedIn's own Jobs page has the same problem in reverse: hundreds of listings, sorted however LinkedIn feels like sorting them, with no way to know which ones just went up in the last hour without refreshing constantly yourself. Job Hunter for LinkedIn watches both of those for you — your feed, and the Jobs search — and pulls what matters into one dashboard, so you're not relying on timing, memory, or constant refreshing to catch any of it. How it works: Watching your feed for hiring posts — You tell it what you're looking for: keywords like "React developer" or "growth marketing," whether you want hiring posts or open-to-work posts, and whether you care about remote, hybrid, or onsite roles. Hit Start Watching and use LinkedIn like you normally would. As matching posts come into view, the extension picks out the useful parts — the poster's name, any email or phone number they included, a link to apply, and a link back to the original post — and sends it straight to your dashboard. Watching LinkedIn's Jobs search — This is the new part: point it at LinkedIn's actual Jobs listings instead of your feed, and it has two modes depending on how you want to work. Find Hidden Jobs runs quietly in the background, checking for new postings on the search you set up — even with the tab closed. You don't have to keep LinkedIn open at all; it just checks in on its own schedule and tells you when something new and genuinely relevant shows up. Watch On Screen is the live version — point it at an open Jobs search tab and it keeps an eye on that exact search for you, catching a new listing the moment it appears at the top, without you needing to refresh or babysit it yourself. Either way, every job it finds gets checked against your own resume and skills, so instead of a flat list of listings you get a match score with each one — a quick read on whether it's actually worth your time before you click in. That's the whole idea. No more scrolling back through your feed trying to remember who posted that opening last Tuesday, and no more refreshing the Jobs page every twenty minutes hoping something new showed up. Why people install it: You only see roles you actually asked for. Filtering by keyword, by hiring vs. open-to-work, by work location, by your own skills and resume — it all happens live, using your own account, whether it's your feed or the Jobs search doing the watching. Contact info surfaces automatically on feed posts, so you can reply the way you'd reply to a job ad — directly to the person who posted it, not into an application black hole. New job listings reach you the moment they're posted, not whenever you next happen to scroll past them. Every match lands in your dashboard with a match score attached, not just your memory — come back later, sort through it, follow up on your own schedule instead of the feed's. It runs quietly while you browse LinkedIn normally, or entirely in the background if you'd rather not keep a tab open at all. Nothing extra to babysit — start it, keep working, check your dashboard when you're ready. What it doesn't do: It never touches your LinkedIn login or credentials, never applies to anything on your behalf, and never messages anyone for you. Watching your feed reads only what's already rendered on the page inside your own logged-in session — the same posts you could read yourself — and stops the moment you close the tab or hit Stop. Find Hidden Jobs works a little differently since it runs in the background: it checks LinkedIn's own public Jobs search, the same search results anyone can see, on the schedule you set. Either way, your LinkedIn account itself is never accessed, changed, or shared with anyone. Your data, your choice: On the free plan, everything the extension finds — feed leads and scraped jobs alike — is encrypted and kept locally in your own browser; it never leaves your machine. If you upgrade, your matches sync to your dashboard in the cloud so you can check them from any device. Either way, it's your call, not a default we make for you. Who this is for: Anyone actively job hunting who's tired of relying on luck and constant refreshing to catch the right opportunity at the right time — whether that's an informal post from someone in your network, or a real listing that just went up on LinkedIn's Jobs page. Especially useful in fields where hiring happens both ways: through a formal posting, and through someone's quick "we're hiring" update that never makes it to a job board at all. Set your filters once, pick what you want watched — your feed, the Jobs search, or both — hit Start, and let LinkedIn start working for you instead of past you by.
