Chrome extension that automates LinkedIn's Easy Apply flow, filters jobs by your rules, and keeps a full record of every application it touches.
LinkedIn rolled out a new Jobs UI on /jobs/search-results/ with a
shadow-DOM apply modal. The extension was rewritten end-to-end to handle
both the legacy and the new UI side-by-side and to give you full visibility
into every job it processed.
- Dual-UI support — works on both
/jobs/search/(legacy) and/jobs/search-results/(new SDUI flow). Selectors use stablearia-label,data-component-type, andcomponentkeyattributes instead of LinkedIn's hashed CSS classes. - Easy Apply detection rewritten — LinkedIn dropped the literal
"Easy Apply" text from the apply control. The new detection uses three
fallback signals (
aria-label^="LinkedIn Apply to",?openSDUIApplyFlow=true, and.jobs-apply-button). - Shadow-DOM apply flow — the SDUI modal renders inside a shadow root. Form-filling, radio/dropdown/checkbox handling and multi-step Next-flow all reach into the shadow tree correctly.
- Real submission verification —
applied: YESis recorded only when Submit was actually clicked and the "Your application was sent to …" modal was observed. Otherwise the entry is recorded assubmitNotConfirmedornoSubmitButtonso false positives are gone. - Smarter Already-Applied detection — handles the new UI's
<p>Applied</p>badge with lazy-render delays and re-fetches the live card by job id before deciding. - Better debug logging —
[AutoApply]logs preserve their original call-site in DevTools (clickable file:line). Boundary log lines explain exactly why iteration stopped. - New Apply History page — a table view of every job the bot evaluated with filtering, search, CSV export and one-click Clear all. See Apply History below.
Main entry point in the Chrome toolbar. Quick access to every page and settings, plus the Start Auto Apply button.
Jobs that aren't Easy Apply are saved here so you can apply manually later.
Duplicates are deduplicated by URL and by title + company.
- Job Title Must Contain — only apply to jobs whose title contains one of these words.
- Job Title Must Skip — never apply to jobs whose title contains one of these words. Takes priority over Must Contain.
- About the job — bad words — skip jobs whose description contains any of these words.
Every question the bot has ever encountered is collected here. Fill in your preferred answers once and the bot will reuse them for all future applications.
Stores name, email, phone and location. These are used to fill in the Easy Apply contact-info step.
A dedicated page with a complete log of every job the bot evaluated.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Time | When the entry was recorded |
| Title | Job title |
| Company | Company name |
| Applied | YES / NO badge |
| Reason | Why the job was skipped (titleSkip, titleFilterMissing, badWord, external, alreadyApplied, submitNotConfirmed, noSubmitButton, noEasyApply, clickFailed, detailsNotLoaded, error, …) |
| Description | Specifics — e.g. "Matched bad word in description: 'java'" or "Title Must Skip — matched 'senior' in jobTitle" |
| URL | Direct link to the job |
| × | Per-row delete |
The page also offers:
- Filters by status (All / Applied / Not applied / Errors only) and by reason
- Free-text search across title, company and description
- Clear all (with confirmation) wipes the entire history
- Export CSV for the currently filtered rows
- Live refresh via
chrome.storage.onChanged— entries appear as the script processes new jobs
Errors are first-class: any unhandled exception inside the iteration is
recorded as an error row whose Description contains the actual exception
message, so problems show up in the UI instead of being buried in the
console.
Save your favourite LinkedIn search URLs (with all filters applied) and launch the bot against any of them in one click — even from outside LinkedIn.
- Go to LinkedIn Jobs and run a search with your usual filters.
- In the popup click Save job search link and give it a name.
- Anywhere later, open the popup → Show job search links → Go
next to the search you want to run.
The extension navigates to the saved URL and starts auto-applying.
From the Chrome Web Store (recommended):
Easy Apply LinkedIn on the Chrome Web Store
From source (developer mode):
git clone https://github.com/IliyaBrook/autoApplylinkedin.git- Open
chrome://extensions. - Enable Developer mode (top-right).
- Click Load unpacked and pick the cloned folder.
- Open the popup from the Chrome toolbar.
- Fill in Personal Information and your Filter Settings.
- Navigate to a LinkedIn jobs search (either
/jobs/search/or/jobs/search-results/works) and click Start Auto Apply. - Watch progress live in Apply History — every skip and submission is logged with its reason.
- Use External Apply Links for jobs that need manual submission and Form Control to teach the bot answers to new questions it encounters.
Every log line written by the extension is prefixed with [AutoApply] and
keeps its real call-site, so DevTools shows the actual file and line you
can click straight to. Boundary logs around the iteration loop and
pagination explain exactly why the script stopped (limit reached, last
page, paused, error, …).
To hide bot logs in DevTools Console, type -AutoApply in the filter box.
