JobLens — LinkedIn Truth Overlay

About

JobLens overlays a 0–100 score on every LinkedIn job listing so you can read the truth in two seconds — without ever sending your LinkedIn data anywhere.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON EVERY JOB:

▸ JobLens Score (0–100) — a universal grade based on the same signals across every listing. 80+ Strong opportunity. 60+ Worth a look. 40+ Mixed signals. 20+ Several concerns. Below 20: multiple red flags.

▸ Layoff history — recent rounds, total cuts, percentages, and dates from layoffs.fyi public data. Catches the "we're a fast-growing rocket ship" listings at companies that quietly cut 18% in March.

▸ Pay — real posted salary when LinkedIn shows it, validated against levels.fyi-style market bands. Calls out lowball offers when the company tier is known.

▸ Posting age — how old is the listing? Has it been reposted? Catches ghost jobs and stale evergreen postings before you waste an application.

▸ Competition — pulls "Over 200 applicants" right off the page so you know what you're up against before you bother applying.

▸ Hiring intent — flags "Actively reviewing applicants" and "Promoted by hirer" badges that signal real, paid commitment vs. dormant pipeline listings.

▸ Your network — surfaces "X school alumni at this company" and your 1st-degree connections, so you can find a warm intro.

PERSONALIZE THE SCORE WITH YOUR CRITERIA:

Set your minimum salary, work model (Remote/Hybrid/On-site), employment type, applicant tolerance, required and excluded title keywords. Each criterion shows up as a Match score next to the JobLens score. A listing can be universally good (high JobLens) but a poor personal fit (low Match) — at a glance you see both.

PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN:

JobLens makes ZERO network requests at runtime. The extension reads only what LinkedIn already renders on the page, looks it up against bundled JSON snapshots, and shows you the result in a Shadow DOM panel that LinkedIn cannot break or style. Nothing leaves your device. No analytics. No accounts. No advertising. Source is fully readable in DevTools.

WHAT JOBLENS IS NOT:

It is not a scraper. It is not a job aggregator. It is not a resume tool. It is one focused thing: a truth overlay that turns LinkedIn's marketing surface into a 0–100 read on whether the listing is worth your time.

Built for job seekers who are tired of applying into voids.
