"Finding a job on LinkedIn can feel overwhelming as some roles draw hundreds - or even thousands - of applicants within hours or days. The challenge for job seekers using the platform is standing out among the crowd. Some LinkedIn users, however, have successfully done so. Whether by using overlooked job filters, crafting a targeted cold outreach, or intentionally sharing their work, people have found ways to secure new jobs on the platform."
"Even within the short time that I was back in the job market, from March to June, it was getting worse, and I started to panic. I was having no luck landing a new role. I live outside Chicago, and some of the jobs that would come up would be at huge Fortune 500 corporations. Even if the role was posted within the last day or the last hour, hundreds of applicants still applied immediately."
Job seekers on LinkedIn face intense competition as many roles attract hundreds or thousands of applicants quickly. Some users used specific strategies to stand out and land roles, including overlooked job filters, targeted cold outreach to hiring managers, and intentionally sharing curated work publicly. One example involved using an "under 10 applicants" filter to surface small-business roles with fewer applicants and less visibility on the platform. Experimenting with search filters and focusing on less-contested postings helped candidates find opportunities that matched their skills and improved their chances of being noticed.
