Fetch jobs and work with Job Listings

Before you start

• The extension is connected and Job Tracker is on (step 1).
• You have at least one job title and one location (step 2).
• You are signed in to LinkedIn in the same Chrome.

The extension popup

Click the Timelydo icon. The Jobs tab lists every search in your plan. You can show them as cards or as a compact table with the switch above the list.

• Each search shows its title and location, how many jobs it has saved and when it last ran, for example 128 jobs saved, last fetched 3 h ago.
• The button on the right starts it. While it runs the button becomes Stop. After it ends the button says Run again, Continue or Try again.
• Start all queues every search, and Stop all stops everything.

If a button is greyed out, hover over it. It tells you why, for example that Job Tracker is off in TimelyDo, or that every search is already running.

What happens while it runs

Stopping, and when LinkedIn signs you out

Press Stop in the popup or on the panel over LinkedIn. The search ends within a few seconds, and the jobs already read stay saved. Continue picks the search up again; jobs already saved are skipped.

If LinkedIn shows a sign in page, the extension stops every search at once and tells you in several ways: a sound, a notification, a red badge on the icon, and the popup with the reason. Sign in to LinkedIn and press Start again.

Job Listings: your jobs in one place

Open Jobs and then Job Listings (/jobs). The header shows how many jobs are saved and how many you applied to. The list is on the left, the open job on the right.

Jobs load 25 at a time as you scroll. The up and down arrow keys move to the previous or next job, like in a mail app.

Collect jobs from StepStone.de

The extension can collect from StepStone.de as well as LinkedIn. Turn it on in Timelydo: Jobs, then the settings icon, then Extension, then the StepStone.de switch. It gets its own tab with its own settings. Your job titles and locations are used for both sites, and each site has its own searches in the extension.

• No sign in needed. StepStone shows its jobs to everyone, so the extension just reads the pages, one job at a time, like a person would.
• What is saved: the job, its company, place, salary when there is one, the description, a link to the posting, and an apply link. StepStone's I'm interested button sends you on to the company's own application page. With Find each job's application page on, the extension saves where that leads. It never opens the company's site or sends anything.
• If StepStone asks to check that you are a person, the extension keeps what it has read, waits a little (the panel counts down), reloads the page and carries on from where it was. It tries up to four times, waiting longer each time. You can open stepstone.de and pass the check while it waits. If it keeps coming back, the StepStone searches stop and the extension tells you, so you can pass the check and start again. LinkedIn searches are not affected.

On Job Listings, jobs from StepStone have a StepStone tag, and the Source filter can show only those. The icon beside a job's title opens its posting, and the second icon opens its application page.

Add a job yourself

Found a job somewhere other than LinkedIn? Press Add a job at the top right of Job Listings. A page opens where you fill in the job.

• Needed: the job title, where you found it (the address of the posting, which is also the apply link), and the description. Paste the description into the text box. Headings and lists are kept.
• Optional: company, company website or LinkedIn address, location, date posted, workplace, employment type, experience level and salary. The more you add, the better the resume written for the job.

The job is saved like a job from LinkedIn, so you can bookmark it, mark it as applied and write a resume for it with AI. It shows an Added by me tag, and the Source filter can show only those. The same address cannot be added twice.

Search with suggestions

The search box finds jobs by title, description or company. As you type it suggests, from all of your saved jobs and not only the ones on screen:

• Job titles, with the company and, in a second row, the location, how long ago it was posted and tags such as On site or Full time. A job that already has an AI resume shows an AI pill.
• Company names, with logos.
• Location names.

With nothing typed it offers your latest jobs. Choose a suggestion to fill the box, or keep typing. The list filters as you type.

Reading and tracking a job

The right side shows the full job: title, company, location, how long ago it was posted, applicants, preference tags, the description, and a company panel. Four icons sit beside the title:

A job is either bookmarked or ignored, never both. Click the company name or logo to open a panel with the company's details. See Fetch company details.

Next to About the job, the Copy button copies the job title and the whole description, even the part that is folded, so you can paste it anywhere.

If you already applied to another job at the same company, an Already applied here note appears beside the company name, with a short message naming that job. Several applications to one company, each with a different resume, can look scattered, so this is your chance to think twice.

Below the company panel, You may also be interested in lists up to 30 other jobs from the same company, newest first. Each row has its own bookmark and ignore icons. A job you applied to shows an Applied date, and a job that already has an AI resume shows an AI resume pill. Click a row to open that job.

Saved jobs on LinkedIn

With Mark saved jobs on LinkedIn on, jobs you already have show an Available in Timelydo line in the LinkedIn list. It saves you from looking at the same job twice.
