LINKED IN HACKS

Some cool hacks for linkedin job search

Linked in is the ultimate go to for job search. So, I decided to find all the tips and tricks which could enhance your job search. I already mentioned two in my video. So, sharing more on the URL hack first.

The URL for linked in offers some cool insights.

URL Breakdown:

Lets say you have a URL :

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?currentJobId=4185657072&distance=25&f_TPR=r3600&geoId=103644278&keywords=director%20sales%20operations&origin=JOB_SEARCH_PAGE_JOB_FILTER

1. currentJobId=4185657072

   • Indicates the job currently being viewed.

   • This does not impact the search results.

2. distance=25

   • Defines the search radius in miles.

   • Example: Change to distance=50 to search within 50 miles.

3. f_TPR=r3600

   • Filters jobs by how recently they were posted.

   • Common values:

     • r3600 → Last 1 hour

     • r86400 → Last 24 hours

     • r604800 → Last 7 days

     • r2592000 → Last 30 days

4. geoId=103644278

   • Represents the geographic location (e.g., United States).

   • To search in a specific region, use the geoId for that location.

5. keywords=senior%20operations%20manager

   • Specifies job title or keyword(s).

   • %20 is used in place of spaces.

   • Example: keywords=Director%20of%20Operations

6. location=United%20States

   • Defines the general location.

   • You can change this to any region (e.g., location=Florida).

7. origin=JOB_SEARCH_PAGE_JOB_FILTER

   • Refers to how the search was initiated (from filter panel). Typically not needed to change.

8. sortBy=R

   • Controls how results are sorted.

   • Options:

     • R → Relevance

     • DD → Date Posted

Boolean Search in the LinkedIn Search Bar

Use Boolean operators like AND, OR, and NOT to fine-tune your search:

• “sales operations” AND director

• “user research” NOT internship

This works for people, jobs, and content.

Find Alumni in Specific Companies

Go to your university’s LinkedIn page → Click Alumni tab → Filter by:

• Company

• Job title

• Location

Custom Profile URL

Edit your LinkedIn URL to look clean and professional:

• Go to profile → “Edit public profile & URL”

• Change to something like: linkedin.com/in/veeraj-gadda

Search by Past Company for Referrals

Use the “Past Company” filter on the People tab to find employees who previously worked at a target company—less loyalty, more likely to help.
