About LinkedIn Exact Applicant Counter

LinkedIn only shows “100+ applicants” on job postings — even with Premium. That number is vague and doesn’t help when you’re deciding whether to apply. This extension reveals the exact number of applicants who clicked Apply. No more guessing if it’s 120 or 1,200 people. 🔹 How it works: • When you open a LinkedIn job posting, the extension fetches the actual applicant count available in the LinkedIn API. • Instead of masking it with “100+”, it displays the real number right in the job view. • You choose when to enable it — works on a per-tab opt-in basis. 🔹 Why install: • Saves time during your job hunt. • Lets you focus on roles with manageable competition. • Works instantly without setup. 🔹 Notes: • This extension is not affiliated with LinkedIn. • It relies on publicly available API responses from LinkedIn job postings. • It may stop working if LinkedIn changes how their job pages or APIs function. This project started as a side tool to solve my own frustration, but now I’m sharing it so others can benefit too.
