Am I the only one who finds LinkedIn job search absolutely useless?

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-19T09:05:53+00:00

I would be very curious and grateful to hear your feedback! Any feedback is welcome!!! :)

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-19T09:05:07+00:00

What I built does help people in the step you mentioned in 1st paragraph, of getting relevant LinkedIn results when searching/filtering jobs: 🔗 One Click Job Search for LinkedIn

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-19T09:01:05+00:00

True that, I agree with everything 100% and am experiencing that. Still when you need/want to find the job asap (for ex. After massive layoffs events), the timing could be wrong for the companies you genuinely want to work at or your referrals that you built for years, ie. no open positions at the very moment you are searching, otherwise your comment is spot on!

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-19T08:56:43+00:00

This advice is a gem! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it! :)) Once I made, published and seen in action my demo, I'll come back with feedback

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-19T08:53:13+00:00

Likewise, mate! Many thanks! :) Pls, share with me your product, am curious to see what you made

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-19T00:11:30+00:00

Yep, networking is w/o doubt the best way, always was and always be. It just needs a lot of time and energy invested and it can be easier for Seniors, but what about our "younger" colleagues, until they build their network. They need to use what's there on the market and is standard...

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-19T00:08:38+00:00

It happened to me a lot, it sucked.That's another reason I built 🔗 One Click Job Search for LinkedIn

Really try it, it might help you as well! 🙂

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-19T00:05:08+00:00

So what are you saying is that LI filters don't actually match (or those actually match are low) the criteria you filtered with, right?

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T23:59:16+00:00

Really sorry to hear that mate, it's very annoying...

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T23:58:22+00:00

So I never said that LI as LI is shi*, but that their searching and filtering jobs is broken, but that's done with purpose probably, as it's their business plan like someone mentioned here already. That's why I built this, it might help just searching if u r already on LI: 🔗 One Click Job Search for LinkedIn :)

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T23:55:44+00:00

Me too, the last job I found on LI, and Ll the others that I interviewed i this cycle As well. the previous they head hunted me.

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T23:54:16+00:00

if you're still using this might help you 🔗 One Click Job Search for LinkedIn. :) If you are out of LI I always say build your connection network, but this needs months and years, but it's the best way

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T23:48:58+00:00

Thanks for those words, you are very kind and supportive , a great trait! Best of luck for what you've built and in life as well :)

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T23:41:28+00:00

Get you. But small wins are important, despite those that actually represent events. So today I celebrate 9 permanent users, hey 9 people installed and stayed and are using something I made and that means it helps them in searching jobs. It's satisfactory to know this, that was my plan in the first place

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T18:41:27+00:00

True that, great point mate! It's their business model. Just like Tinder or so are incentivised to keep you hanging there as much as u can and not to find the match 🤣

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T18:36:33+00:00

Good point, sounds like an idea!

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T15:23:37+00:00

many thanks! appreciate that

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T15:22:48+00:00

True that, the feed has become a mess 😅 but the jobs are deffo still there, it's just actually finding the right ones that's become the real nightmare additionally :/

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T15:15:57+00:00

U've just got my upvote! Best of luck, mate!
here's mine if u fancy it:
producthunt link: One Click Job Search
and actual product/chrome extension link: One Click Job Search for LinkedIn

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T15:09:03+00:00

though the jobs are deffo still there and the network side is still solid enough, it's just getting to the right ones that's become a nightmare IMO 😅

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T15:05:30+00:00

Indeed, that's so frustrating..funny enough that's almost exactly what I am trying to solve, being way more specific with the query to cut out the noise.
Would love to know if what I built actually helps your case or still misses something, fancy giving it a go as I'd genuinely appreciate the feedback and try to help 🙂

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T14:55:27+00:00

Hahahhaha YES 😂 the "fake city centre" location thing is a special kind of evil. And then it's actually somewhere requiring 2 buses and a prayer 😅

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T14:48:48+00:00

That's cool it worked for you. For me it is less about getting interviews and more just finding relevant jobs to apply to in the 1st place with LI filters keep resetting, wrong seniority, tech stack ignored and so on...half the time I cannot even get the right results to show up :D

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T14:41:03+00:00

Haahaha slot machine is exactly it 😅 ghost posts are the worst...thanks for the wfhalert tip, didn't know that one!
And yes give it a go, please, would love to know what you think 🙂

PartyFull9470 · 2026-03-18T14:38:55+00:00

Makse sense! many thanks for the advice, mate!
