Install & Get Started
Quick guide to install the extension from the Chrome Web Store, pin it, finish onboarding, and start applying.
Requirements
- Desktop Chrome (latest version - not mobile)
- Active Linked account (logged in before starting)
- Resume file ready (PDF only)
- If Linked is blocked in your region: stable VPN enabled (do not switch locations mid-session)
- Stable connection (background scanning depends on tab availability)
Open the Extension Page
Go to the Chrome Web Store listing:
If the page does not open, ensure you are using desktop Chrome (other Chromium variants may differ in UI wording).
Add to Chrome
Click Add to Chrome then confirm. Chrome downloads and installs the extension automatically.
We do not collect fake or unrelated data. The extension only uses what you configure.
Pin the Icon
Click the puzzle (extensions) icon 🧩 → find Linked Apply Bot → click the pin so it stays visible.
Pinned icon lets you open the control panel instantly while browsing jobs.
Open & Onboard
Click the icon. The onboarding flow will guide you. Provide:
- Resume upload
- Contact info & location
- 1-2 focused keywords
- Optional filters (phrases to avoid, recruiter / outsourcing block)
- Enable early / fresh-job mode (optional)
Setup takes about 1 minute if your resume is ready.
Start Session
Navigate to Linked job search. Press Start.
The system scans, filters, and applies at a human pace. You can minimize the panel and continue browsing.
Early mode prioritizes fresh postings so you are among the first applicants.
Monitor & Adjust
Check progress: sent, skipped (with reasons), remaining limit. Tweak filters or keywords anytime, then continue.
Retry previously skipped jobs after adjusting filters if you think they now fit.
Quick Start (Recap)
- Upload your resume
