In short
Click the Timelydo icon, open the Jobs tab and press Start on one search, or Start all. Keep the LinkedIn tab open while it works.
When it finishes, open Jobs, then Job Listings to find your jobs. Search them, filter by posted date and status, and bookmark, ignore or mark as applied.
Before you start
- The extension is connected and Job Tracker is on (step 1).
- You have at least one job title and one location (step 2).
- You are signed in to LinkedIn in the same Chrome.
The extension popup
Click the Timelydo icon. The Jobs tab lists every search in your plan. You can show them as cards or as a compact table with the switch above the list.
- Each search shows its title and location, how many jobs it has saved and when it last ran, for example 128 jobs saved, last fetched 3 h ago.
- The button on the right starts it. While it runs the button becomes Stop. After it ends the button says Run again, Continue or Try again.
- Start all queues every search, and Stop all stops everything.
If a button is greyed out, hover over it. It tells you why, for example that Job Tracker is off in TimelyDo, or that every search is already running.
What happens while it runs
Stopping, and when LinkedIn signs you out
Press Stop in the popup or on the panel over LinkedIn. The search ends within a few seconds, and the jobs already read stay saved. Continue picks the search up again; jobs already saved are skipped.
If LinkedIn shows a sign in page, the extension stops every search at once and tells you in several ways: a sound, a notification, a red badge on the icon, and the popup with the reason. Sign in to LinkedIn and press Start again.
Job Listings: your jobs in one place
Open Jobs and then Job Listings (/jobs). The header shows how many jobs are saved and how many you applied to. The list is on the left, the open job on the right.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Active, Bookmarked, Ignored | Active shows every job you have not ignored. Each tab shows its count. |
| Job title and Location | Show only jobs found by one of your titles or locations. |
| Status | All jobs, Not applied or Applied. |
| Posted | Any time, Past hour, Past 24 hours, Past week or Past month. |
| Sort | Newest posted, or Recently saved. |
| Clear | Resets every filter. |
| Refresh | Loads the newest jobs without losing your place. |
Jobs load 25 at a time as you scroll. The up and down arrow keys move to the previous or next job, like in a mail app.
Search with suggestions
The search box finds jobs by title, description or company. As you type it suggests, from all of your saved jobs and not only the ones on screen:
- Job titles, with the company and, in a second row, the location, how long ago it was posted and tags such as On site or Full time. A job that already has an AI resume shows an AI pill.
- Company names, with logos.
- Location names.
With nothing typed it offers your latest jobs. Choose a suggestion to fill the box, or keep typing. The list filters as you type.
Reading and tracking a job
The right side shows the full job: title, company, location, how long ago it was posted, applicants, preference tags, the description, and a company panel. Four icons sit beside the title:
| Icon | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Open | Opens the job on LinkedIn in a new tab. |
| Check | Marks the job as applied. Mark it again to undo. |
| Bookmark | Adds it to your Bookmarked tab. |
| Eye with a line | Ignores it. An ignored job leaves Active and shows in Ignored. |
A job is either bookmarked or ignored, never both. Click the company name or logo to open a panel with the company's details. See Fetch company details.
Saved jobs on LinkedIn
With Mark saved jobs on LinkedIn on, jobs you already have show an Available in Timelydo line in the LinkedIn list. It saves you from looking at the same job twice.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a search take?
A page of about 25 new jobs takes a few minutes, because the extension opens each job and pauses between them. Jobs you already have are skipped in seconds, so reruns are much faster.
Can I close the LinkedIn tab or use my computer meanwhile?
Use your computer as normal, but leave the LinkedIn tab the extension opened. Closing it ends that search. Your saved jobs stay.
The search finished but no jobs were saved
Either everything on those pages was already saved, or LinkedIn found no results for that title and place. Check the status line in the popup: it shows how many were new and how many were already saved.
LinkedIn signed me out and the search stopped
Sign in to LinkedIn in the same Chrome and press Start again. The jobs read before it stopped are saved, and they are skipped on the next run.
The extension says LinkedIn searched something else
The extension checks the search LinkedIn actually ran and stops when it differs, so you never get the wrong jobs. Run that search again. If it repeats, remove the location and add it again with a simpler name.
Will the same job be saved twice?
No. A job is saved once per account. If it appears again in another search it is updated, not duplicated.
How do I mark that I applied?
Open the job on Job Listings and press the check icon beside the title. Use the Status filter to see applied or not applied jobs.
Can I delete a job?
Ignore it. An ignored job leaves the Active tab and is kept under Ignored, so it is not saved again as new.
How do I see only jobs posted in the last day?
Open the Posted filter on Job Listings and choose Past 24 hours. The options are Past hour, Past 24 hours, Past week and Past month.
