Free tools · LinkedIn search
Search LinkedIn jobs posted in the last hour.
Free, no email needed. Your LinkedIn account stays yours.
How it works, and why it's safe for your account
LinkedIn's date filter stops at 24 hours. The search address underneath it takes any window you give it: 1 hour, 6 hours, 3 days. This page writes that address for you, opens it in the browser where you're logged in to LinkedIn, and lets you pick the employers you're aiming at instead of looking up their IDs.
The tool never logs in to LinkedIn and never touches your account. It writes a search link, and you open it in LinkedIn yourself, the same as typing the search by hand.
Nothing you type here reaches me unless you send it through the feedback form: the page builds a link and your browser opens it. The site only counts clicks on the buttons, without your search in them.
Every setting is optional. Fill in what matters to you and leave the rest empty.
A company missing, or a filter that does nothing? Tell me and I'll fix it.

The settings LinkedIn's menu doesn't show.
Past hour, or any number of hours
LinkedIn counts the window in seconds, in the f_TPR part of the address. The menu offers a day, a week and a month. The address takes any number, so 1 hour works, and so does 6. Under 10 minutes the page usually comes back empty.
Newest first
Left on relevance, LinkedIn can put a 3-week-old post above one from this morning. With a short window, newest first is the order you want.
A company list in 1 link
Pick the employers you're targeting by name or by sector, and 1 search covers all of them. Each of the 72 IDs was checked by searching it on its own, with every job that came back belonging to that company. Switch to the People tab and the same list shows who works there now.
Fewer than 10 applicants
LinkedIn only counts people who applied through LinkedIn. A role that sends you to the company's own careers site can look quiet on LinkedIn and still be full.
Radius
Pick a city, then a distance in miles, the unit LinkedIn uses. For site and plant roles the commute often decides it, and a country-wide search buries the 3 jobs within reach.
Bookmark it, don't set an alert
LinkedIn's job alerts arrive daily or weekly, which defeats a 1-hour window. Copy the link, save it as a bookmark and open it when you have 10 minutes.
How I use it
Find the company before the right job opens.
LinkedIn is the strongest place I know to see who is hiring right now. You don't need to apply to every posting it shows you. When a role is close to yours but not quite, note the company and start reading about it: the projects it's running, and who you already know there.
Add it to your company list here and save the search. When the right role does come up, you already know where to look, and your homework on that company is done.
How much speed is worth
First helps. A CV written for the role helps more.
Anthony Clasper at Sausage Dog tracked 1,691 UK job adverts every hour from the moment they went up. 2 in 3 never reached 10 applications. Where a queue did build, the 10th took a median of 28 hours.
So the 1-hour search is for spotting a role early, while the counter is still at 0. Then take the evening to write the CV and the note for that role. A tailored application the next morning beats a generic one sent in the first hour.
