LinkedIn Job Finder

Search LinkedIn jobs the way you would by hand — then get every result as a spreadsheet instead of 40 browser tabs.

Type what you're looking for and where. Narrow by date, remote/hybrid, contract type, experience level. Get back a clean table: company, location, salary, applicant count, full description and a direct link to every posting.

Who this is for

• Job seekers — pull today's postings across five cities into one sheet, filter out the agency reposts and the roles needing clearance you don't have, and apply to the ones with under 25 applicants.
• Recruiters and sourcers — track who's hiring for what, in which markets, and how fast roles are moving.
• Analysts and founders — measure hiring demand for a skill, a title or a competitor over time.

What you get

One row per job:

Column	Example
Job title	Software Engineer, Backend
Company	Tessera Labs
Location	San Jose, CA
Posted	2026-08-16 · "2 days ago"
Salary	$200,000 – $250,000 / year
Applicants	Over 200 applicants
Type & seniority	Full-time · Mid-Senior level
Industry & function	Software Development · Engineering
Description	Full text, formatting intact
Link	Direct URL to the posting

Download it as CSV or Excel, pull it through the API, or send it straight to Google Sheets, Airtable, Make or Zapier.

Salary, even though LinkedIn has no salary field. When an employer publishes pay it's written into the job description — this reads it out and gives you the numbers plus the exact sentence they came from, so you can check anything that looks off. If no pay range can be read confidently, the field is left empty rather than guessed at. A wrong salary is worse than a blank one.

Filters that LinkedIn doesn't give you

This is where most of the time savings are. All of them run before you're charged, so you never pay for a job you filtered out.

• Job title must / must not include — searching "engineer" on LinkedIn also returns sales engineers. This fixes that.
• Skip these companies — the usual use is cutting out staffing agencies that repost the same ten roles.
• Skip these locations — for when a country-wide search keeps surfacing one city you can't move to.
• Description must / must not mention — find roles that mention visa sponsorship, or drop every one that says security clearance.
• At most N applicants — the single most useful filter if you're applying. Jobs with 200+ applicants are usually already decided.
• Only jobs that show a salary.

Getting started

Fill in two fields:

{
  "keywords": ["product manager"],
  "locations": ["United States"]
}

A more realistic run:

{
  "keywords": ["product manager", "product designer"],
  "locations": ["United States", "Canada"],
  "datePosted": "past-week",
  "titleExcludes": ["intern", "senior director"],
  "companyExcludes": ["robert half"],
  "maxApplicants": 25,
  "maxJobsTotal": 500
}

Every job title is searched in every location, so that's four searches.

Already built the search on LinkedIn? Set your filters on linkedin.com/jobs, copy the address bar, and paste it in:

{ "searchUrls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search?keywords=designer&location=Berlin&f_TPR=r604800"] }

Your filters come along with it — with one exception, which the run log names: LinkedIn stopped applying job type, experience level, remote/hybrid and sort order to logged-out search in August 2026, so those parts of a pasted URL are ignored on their side. Use the Full-time, contract… and Experience level fields instead; this Actor checks those against each job's own page.

Run it on a schedule

Set datePosted to Past 24 hours and schedule it daily. You get each morning's new postings before the applicant count climbs. Job IDs are stable, so it's easy to tell which are new since yesterday.

Good to know

LinkedIn caps any single search at about 1,000 results. That's LinkedIn's limit, not this Actor's — their own website does the same. If your search is broader than that, this tells you plainly instead of quietly handing you a partial list: check What was searched in the output, and the run summary says so too.

The fix is to split one wide search into several narrow ones. Instead of one search for the whole United States, list the five states you care about — you get up to 1,000 from each. Narrowing by date does the same thing.

Remote/hybrid filtering and "sort by most recent" are not offered, because LinkedIn no longer applies either one to logged-out searches (measured 2026-08-22) and publishes no remote/hybrid label on the public job page for us to filter on instead. Other Actors still show these switches. They do not do anything. Use datePosted for recency, and screen for remote roles with titleIncludes / descriptionIncludes if you need to — knowing that is a text match, not LinkedIn's own label.

A few other honest limits:

• Applicant counts are bands, not exact numbers — LinkedIn publishes "first 25 applicants" or "over 200", never "37".
• Salary only appears when the employer wrote one. Plenty of postings have none.
• No recruiter names or email addresses. This Actor reads public job postings; it doesn't collect personal contact details.
• Occasionally a job closes between being found and being opened. You still get the row, marked detailUnavailable, rather than silently losing a result.

Cost

You pay per job returned — not per search, not per page. Jobs filtered out don't count, and duplicates are removed across all your searches, so overlapping terms like "product manager" and "product management" never bill you twice for the same posting.

Start with maxJobsTotal set to something small to see the shape of the results, then raise it.
