job search](https://compleadly.com/blog/linkedin-job-search#faq-linkedin-job-search) **In short:** On LinkedIn, you now describe the job you want in your own words, because AI-powered job search is available to all members, according to LinkedIn. Be specific about role, location and experience, narrow down with filters like "Under 10 applicants," turn on a job alert and message the person who is hiring at the same time. **Last updated: November 2026.** All click paths and features come from LinkedIn's help center and may change. For the mistakes job seekers often make on LinkedIn, see [10 common LinkedIn mistakes when job hunting](https://compleadly.com/blog/10-common-linkedin-mistakes-when-job-hunting-and-how-to-avoid-them). This post covers the tools themselves: search, filters, alerts, applying and getting in front of recruiters directly. ## How LinkedIn job search works in November 2026 The most important change: LinkedIn is moving job search to AI. According to the [help article](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a6889044), AI-powered job search is available to all members worldwide, and LinkedIn is gradually retiring classic job search starting in September. Instead of typing keywords, you describe the job in a sentence, and LinkedIn matches that description against job postings. LinkedIn says the search runs on large language models refined with two decades of LinkedIn data, so it understands what a query means. A search for entry-level marketing roles can surface a "Marketing Coordinator" posting even if the ad never says "entry-level." LinkedIn may use data from your profile and search activity to personalize the ranking. You can give feedback on individual results with a thumbs up or thumbs down. ![Illustration: aus einer großen Sprechblase fließen Lichtpunkte zu einem Stapel passender Stellenanzeigen, unpassende Anzeigen verblassen](https://media.compleadly.de/media/31efa935b6cd43d5b766cf581401833f9bed1b7be0a17dfecd6dc14a77d795c3.jpg) Illustration: glowing particles flow from a large speech bubble into a stack of matching job postings while non-matching postings fade away ### Searching on desktop 1. Click the _Jobs_ icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage. 2. Click into the search bar and describe the job in your own words. LinkedIn's own example is "senior product designer for fintech in California." 3. Use the filters or suggestions at the top of the results to refine the list. 4. Click a posting to read the description. Click _Save_ to keep it for later. ### Searching in the app In the app, tap the _Jobs_ icon, then the search bar, and describe the role the same way. To apply, tap _Easy Apply_ or _Apply_ at the top of the posting. LinkedIn itself notes that it may be easier to complete an application on a computer. Keep the two posting types apart. With _Easy Apply_, you submit your application right on LinkedIn. With _Apply_, LinkedIn sends you to the company's site or a third-party site. Also keep your job preferences current, on desktop under _Jobs > Preferences > Open to work_. LinkedIn's suggestions are based on them. How to turn the Open to Work signal on and off is covered in [Open to Work on LinkedIn](https://compleadly.com/blog/open-to-work-linkedin). ## Template: search queries in your own words AI search rewards precision. LinkedIn recommends naming your preferred location, experience level, specialty, skills or industry. Details you used to set with a filter can go straight into the query. LinkedIn's own examples include "Entry-level sales jobs in healthcare posted in the last week" and "Finance manager roles in my network with less than 10 applicants." | Too vague | Better | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | sales | Account executive for B2B software in Chicago or remote, 3 to 5 years of experience, posted in the last week | | recruiter job | In-house tech recruiter at a mid-size company in Texas, part-time | | marketing role | Entry-level content marketing role at a software company in Boston, in my network | | project manager | Manufacturing project manager with ERP rollout experience near Detroit, under 10 applicants | Copy this pattern: **\[role\] for \[industry or product\] in \[location or remote\], \[experience level\], \[employment type\], \[posted within\]**. Suggested filters then appear under the search bar and adapt to your query. According to LinkedIn, they are available worldwide in English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese. A simple test: write the query the way you would describe the job to a friend who is forwarding openings to you. If the results miss, add one detail rather than rewriting the whole query. That way you see which detail actually changes the list. ## Filters: what's available and when they help Filters remain on the results page even with AI search. Every job search returns up to 1,000 results by default, according to [LinkedIn's help center](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a507441). Filters turn that into a list you can work through in one evening. | Filter | What it does | When it helps | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | Location | Postal code, city, state, province or country in the location field | Whenever you're not searching fully remote | | Date posted | Last 24 hours, past week or past month | Daily routine: only look at what's new | | Easy Apply | Only jobs you can apply to directly on LinkedIn | When you want to work through many good fits quickly | | Company | One or more specific companies | When you have a list of target employers | | Experience level | Level of experience | So internships and leadership roles don't mix | | Employment type | Full-time, part-time, contract, internship, volunteer | When your work model is fixed | | Remote | Remote jobs | When location doesn't matter | | In your network | Jobs in your network | When you want to ask someone what it's really like there | | Under 10 applicants | Jobs that currently have fewer than 10 applicants | When you want to be early | LinkedIn says more filters are coming, including verified jobs, sorting by most recent or most relevant, and hybrid or on-site. A combination worth trying is "In your network" plus "Under 10 applicants." You're early, and you have someone in your network you can ask for a quick read on the role. To find posts where people share openings, switch from _Jobs_ to _Posts_ at the top and pick _Job posts_ under the _Content type_ filter. That surfaces jobs that show up in the feed first. ## Setting up and managing job alerts A job alert sends you new postings for your search, so you don't have to search every day. You can choose daily or weekly delivery by email, app notification or both. According to [LinkedIn's help center](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a506443), a member can have at most 20 job alerts at once. ![Illustration: eine leuchtende Glocke ist mit Briefumschlag, Smartphone-Benachrichtigung und Kalender verbunden, darunter ein eingeschalteter Kippschalter](https://media.compleadly.de/media/57e6506c7b6c64946cca3068d6c4a8f8ec65e6dec6adb289fdfe2313b7e55409.jpg) Illustration: a glowing bell connected to an envelope, a phone notification and a calendar, with a toggle switch turned on below ### Create an alert 1. Search for a job on LinkedIn and set the filters you need. 2. Switch the job alerts toggle to _On_. You'll see a confirmation that your job alert was created. 3. Click _Manage alerts_ to choose frequency and channel, then click _Done_. By default, the alert is set to daily and you get both email and LinkedIn notifications. ### Edit or delete alerts On desktop, click _Jobs_ and find your alerts under _Jobs > Preferences > Job alerts_. Edit or delete each search there and click _Done_. In the app, tap _Jobs_, then the More icon and _Job alerts_. The edit icon next to each alert opens _Edit job alert_ and _Delete job alert_. ### Checklist for useful alerts - One alert per target role instead of one catch-all search. - Keep the posting window short so only new jobs come in. - If you get too many matches, switch to weekly and sharpen the query. - Delete old searches when your goal changes. The cap is 20. - Use app notifications for roles that draw many applicants and email for the rest. ## Easy Apply, external applications and the job tracker With _Easy Apply_, you submit your application without leaving LinkedIn. LinkedIn says relevant skills from your profile may be included. It also offers to save your resume and answers for future applications and can pre-fill answers. You manage that saved data on the Job applications settings page. A detail many people miss: if a recruiting agency posted the job, LinkedIn says your application may be shared with other clients of that agency when your profile fits other roles. LinkedIn sets a [daily limit](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a8068422) on Easy Apply submissions that resets at the end of the day (UTC). Sending many applications in a short time also triggers a temporary pause. LinkedIn says most members rarely hit the limit. Treat it as a nudge to send fewer, better-fitting applications. Job Match helps here: an AI feature that, according to LinkedIn, gives every job seeker a summary of how well their skills and qualifications fit a posting. Also watch for responsiveness hints on postings. According to LinkedIn's help center, you may see "Actively reviewing candidates" when the recruiter has reviewed one or more applications in the past two weeks. If you don't see such a hint, LinkedIn says that does not mean the hirer is slow to respond. ### Staying organized in the job tracker The [job tracker](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a8684146) holds your saved jobs and applications. Each job moves through five stages: saved, in progress, applied, interview and archive. You can add notes, filter by date posted and see network connections you can reach out to. LinkedIn removes jobs from the tracker automatically after one year. For Easy Apply jobs, the stages up to "applied" update on their own, and you move a job to interview yourself. For jobs you apply to on a company site, save the job first and then move it through the stages manually. To get your resume ready for LinkedIn, see [How to add your resume to LinkedIn](https://compleadly.com/blog/how-to-add-resume-to-linkedin), and for your profile, [The perfect LinkedIn profile in 6 steps](https://compleadly.com/blog/perfect-linkedin-profile-career-success-in-6-steps). ## What LinkedIn Premium adds to job search You don't need Premium to look for a job. Search, filters, alerts, _Easy Apply_ and Job Match are available without a subscription. Premium mainly adds insight into the applicant pool. The details below come from LinkedIn's English help center on [Premium insights](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a563146) and related articles. ![Illustration: eine Stellenanzeige mit Stern-Abzeichen, daneben ein Balkendiagramm ohne Beschriftung und eine Reihe gesichtsloser Avatare, einer hervorgehoben](https://media.compleadly.de/media/29d3b157a90f4de77af788dc63cdc761b7676f4878b8f11353bd8775b0f46bed.jpg) Illustration: a job posting with a star badge next to an unlabeled bar chart and a row of faceless avatars, one of them highlighted | Premium feature | What you see | Conditions, per LinkedIn | | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | Applicant insights | Number of applicants, your ranking as a percentage, top skills, applicants' experience and education | From three applicants; percentage only if you're in the top 50% | | Company insights | Headcount, hiring trends and growth over the past 24 months | Only if enough employees have complete profiles | | Top applicant jobs | Jobs where you're among the strongest applicants | Top 50% for at least one role, at least 10 applicants | | "Actively hiring (Premium)" filter | People currently hiring for specific roles | People search, based on those members' Open To settings | | Cover letter assistance | AI draft of a cover letter based on your profile and the job description | Beta, limited number of Premium subscribers, English only | One caveat: LinkedIn says the applicant ranking is based on LinkedIn data and not endorsed by the hiring company. For applications on external sites, it counts clicks on _Apply_, not completed applications. For plan pricing, see [How much LinkedIn Premium costs](https://compleadly.com/blog/how-much-does-linkedin-premium-cost-in-2026-all-prices-plans-and-tips-at-a-glance), and for the free trial, [Try LinkedIn Premium for free](https://compleadly.com/blog/try-linkedin-premium-for-free-how-it-really-works). ## Reaching recruiters and hiring managers directly Apply through the portal, and also send a short, personal message to the person filling the role. That makes you more than one more entry in their applicant pile. ![Illustration: eine Stellenanzeige ist über einen gepunkteten Pfad mit einem Profil verbunden, eine Sprechblase wandert entlang des Pfads](https://media.compleadly.de/media/4a59f810feb920b8ef9172d15048df359feb229f4a796ca7d81bbbcac42bc172.jpg) Illustration: a job posting linked to a profile by a dotted path, with a speech bubble traveling along it ### Finding the right person - **People search with "hiring":** you can find people who are currently hiring by searching for "hiring" in people search. The guide to the ["hiring" search](https://compleadly.com/knowledge/search-for-contacts-on-linkedin-who-are-looking-for-employees-or-have-hiring-displayed-in-their-profile-picture) shows how. - **"Actively hiring (Premium)" filter:** in people search, if you have Premium. - **Connections in the job tracker:** the tracker shows network connections you can reach out to. - **Alumni and mutual connections:** to find former classmates at your target company, see [LinkedIn alumni tool](https://compleadly.com/blog/linkedin-alumni-tool). To use mutual connections for an introduction, see [LinkedIn mutual connections](https://compleadly.com/blog/linkedin-mutual-connection). ### Template for the connection request _"Hi \[Name\], I just applied for your \[job title\] opening. I bring \[one specific, relevant experience\] and would be glad to connect. Best, \[your name\]"_ Keep the note short and give one reason that fits the role. Check the length with the [LinkedIn character counter](https://compleadly.com/free-tools/linkedin-character-counter), and find more wording in [LinkedIn connection message templates](https://compleadly.com/blog/linkedin-connection-message-templates). Before you reach out, your headline should show which role you're after. The free [headline generator](https://compleadly.com/free-tools/linkedin-headline-generator) helps with that. ### Working through a short list with CompLeadly If you want to reach more than a handful of companies, CompLeadly helps. Copy the link to your LinkedIn people search, for example recruiters at your target employers, and save it as a target audience. [Create a LinkedIn target audience](https://compleadly.com/knowledge/create-a-linkedin-target-audience) shows how. On the free version, you use basic functions as single steps with a daily limit: per day, 2 connection requests, 25 profile visits, 1 opener after connecting, 1 follow-up and 10 messages to 1st-degree contacts. For a short list, that's enough. From Basic, the whole sequence runs as a workflow on a recurring schedule: visit the profile, connect, send the first message once the request is accepted and follow up. From Premium, CompLeadly can also export jobs from a LinkedIn job search as a spreadsheet, including address and contact details from the company's legal notice (Impressum, mainly relevant for German-speaking companies). Plans are listed on the [pricing page](https://compleadly.com/pricing). ## Recruiting and sales: job search from the other side What job seekers see in job search is just as telling for recruiters and salespeople. **Recruiting:** candidates can see on your posting whether you review applications promptly. According to LinkedIn, "Actively reviewing candidates" appears when at least one application was reviewed in the past two weeks. If you don't want to wait for the right candidates, reach out to them directly. CompLeadly builds target audiences from LinkedIn people search, Sales Navigator and LinkedIn Recruiter (searches, pipelines, saved searches), if you use Recruiter. Scheduled workflows start with Basic. More under [CompLeadly for recruiters](https://compleadly.com/use-cases/recruiters), in [Active sourcing on LinkedIn](https://compleadly.com/blog/active-sourcing-linkedin) and in the [recruiting message templates](https://compleadly.com/blog/linkedin-recruiting-message-templates). What your own job posting costs is covered in [LinkedIn job posting cost](https://compleadly.com/blog/linkedin-job-posting-cost). **Sales:** an open position shows what a company is working on right now. A company hiring a head of sales is expanding or rebuilding its sales team. With the job and Impressum export from Premium, you turn a LinkedIn job search into a list of companies with address and contact details from their legal notice. You then find the right contacts through people search or Sales Navigator. To define your target companies, see [Sales ICP](https://compleadly.com/blog/sales-icp), and for team setups, [CompLeadly for sales teams](https://compleadly.com/use-cases/sales-teams). ## Your next step Set up one precise search with a job alert today and message three people at your target employers. If you want to try that with CompLeadly, get the app from the [download page](https://compleadly.com/download) and try Premium for 10 days, no payment details required. The trial ends automatically, and you continue on the free version with basic functions and a daily limit. ## FAQ: LinkedIn job search How does AI job search on LinkedIn work? You describe the job in your own words, for example role, location, experience and industry. LinkedIn matches that description against job postings and also finds postings that use different terms. You can still apply filters like date posted or "Under 10 applicants." How do you set up a job alert on LinkedIn? Search for a job, set your filters and switch the job alerts toggle to On. Under "Manage alerts," choose daily or weekly and the channel: email, app or both. How many job alerts can you have? According to LinkedIn's help center, up to 20 at once. Delete old searches when your goal changes, and set up one alert per target role. Do you need LinkedIn Premium to search for jobs? No. Search, filters, job alerts, Easy Apply and Job Match are open to all members. Premium adds applicant insights, top applicant jobs and the "Actively hiring" filter in people search. Why can't you submit through Easy Apply right now? LinkedIn sets a daily limit on Easy Apply submissions that resets at the end of the day (UTC). Sending many applications very quickly also triggers a temporary pause. How do you turn off the signal that you're looking for a job? Usually that means the Open to Work frame. How to turn it on and off is covered in [Open to Work on LinkedIn](https://compleadly.com/blog/open-to-work-linkedin). --- Was this post helpful? // newsletter ### Want more?
