There are many free LinkedIn features available to Australian professionals who are in active job search. In this article we show you how to set up job alerts on LinkedIn.
How to Set up Job Alerts on LinkedIn
You can create job alerts on LinkedIn to stay updated with new job postings that match your preferences. LinkedIn will allow you to choose whether you want to receive these alerts on a daily or weekly basis through email, app notifications, or both.?This is a free feature for all LinkedIn members.
When you first access this feature on LinkedIn, there are a few tabs that may distract you from setting up your job alerts. Stay focussed and move through these steps first.
3. Click on Search for jobs.
If you have never set up a job alert from your LinkedIn, you will see this page.
If you have previously set up job alerts, LinkedIn will show the job alerts. You can delete and edit these job alerts, or start a new search.
4. Choose your search filters by clicking on the options in the top column. You can choose Date Posted, Experience Level, Company, Job Type, Remote, Easy Apply and view All Filters for the expanded list.
When first setting up your job alerts, start wide with job type and geographic location, before refining your search and creating the Job Alert. It's good to keep an eye on who's hiring at what company. This allows you to see which recruiters and hiring managers are responsible for these types of roles.
5. At the top left of the job search results page, switch the Job alert toggle to On (see image below) to create a job alert for your current search criteria.
6. In the Create search alert pop-up, select how often you’d like to receive alerts about new jobs on LinkedIn that fit those specific search parameters from the Receive alert dropdown.
7. Select how you’d like to get notified from the Get notified via dropdown.
8. Click Save.
