  description

  LinkedIn shows you recommended job postings based on your profile, but does not allow you to sort or filter these postings to get rid of the noise. The result of this is that the majority of the shown job opportunities already have hundreds of applicants or were posted weeks/months ago. EarlyBird is a simple extension that makes use of LinkedIn's recommended jobs feature to retrieve relevant jobs and allows you to sort and filter them with criteria such as posting date, applicant count, keywords, and location. Get ahead of the competition by discovering fresh job opportunities on LinkedIn before they become crowded with applicants! 🔍💼
  
  Be First, Get Noticed
  Stop wasting time scrolling through job listings with hundreds of applicants. EarlyBird Job Finder helps you identify and prioritize newly posted positions and opportunities with fewer applicants, significantly increasing your chances of getting noticed by recruiters.
