I experienced it myself for a long time: comments often go unnoticed for hours.
By then, the moment has passed.
This is exactly where it is decided whether a post continues to be shown—or slowly disappears.
LinkedIn places particular importance on activity immediately after publication.
Quick replies to comments show the system:
Something relevant is happening here.
This leads to more visibility.
More interaction.
More reach.
The challenge:
You cannot keep LinkedIn open all the time.
My solution is simple—and surprisingly easy to implement technically.
The idea:
Your own LinkedIn post opens automatically at set intervals.
You see new comments immediately and can respond straight away.
It works:
• without a tool
• without a browser extension
• without any technical knowledge
A small Windows trick that runs in the background and takes care of exactly that for you.
I created a short step-by-step guide for it—
including the finished code that you only need to copy.
Setup takes just a few seconds
and then runs automatically.
Responding quickly pays off beyond reach. If someone who looks like a good fit comments on your job post, your response time shapes their first impression of you as an employer. And job seekers who post about their work don't want to wait until the evening for a comment from a hiring manager. You can use people who viewed your profile or followed you after a post as a target audience in CompLeadly, provided LinkedIn shows you who they are. The app goes through these profiles one by one: views them, sends a connection request, follows up with a brief thank-you for their interest once they accept, and sends a reminder if needed. Recruiters with their own licence can also use their Recruiter Lite searches as a source. Related: Recruiting with CompLeadly it and enter it the Open to Work banner.
