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)
1

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).

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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)

  1. Upload your resume
  2. Add contact & location
  3. Enter 1-2 strong keywords
  4. (Optional) Set filters & early mode
  5. Press Start - check results later

Troubleshooting

Icon not visible?

  • The extension icon appears in Chrome's top toolbar (right side)
  • If hidden: click the puzzle icon 🧩 → find Linked Apply Bot → click the pin 📌
  • No listing there? Open chrome://extensions and confirm it is installed & enabled

Nothing happens after Start?

  • Open Linked job search page (Jobs tab)
  • Ensure daily limit not reached
  • Loosen filters if many skips

Too many skips?

  • Broaden keywords (remove niche terms)
  • Remove aggressive exclusion phrases
  • Disable recruiter/company filtering temporarily

Wrong answers in forms?

  • Re-upload resume with updated experience
  • Adjust contact/location fields
  • Restart session after edits

Performance or slowdown?

  • Close heavy unrelated tabs
  • Disable conflicting automation extensions
  • Keep one Linked job tab active

Still stuck?
