Use this interactive demo to learn how to control your job alert notifications on LinkedIn.

Quick summary

LinkedIn's job alert settings let you control which job notifications you receive, including alerts for posted jobs, saved jobs, and profile-based recommendations. You can manage these preferences directly from Settings & Privacy under the Notification settings section.


Steps

  1. Click your profile in the top menu of your LinkedIn dashboard to open account options.
  2. Select 'Settings & Privacy' from the dropdown menu.
  3. Under Notification settings, click 'Searching for a job' to expand job-related notification options.
  4. Review the three available notification categories you can modify to manage your job alerts.
  5. Click 'Job alerts' to manage notifications for newly posted jobs matching your search.
  6. Click 'Saved jobs' to manage notifications related to the jobs you've saved.
  7. Click 'Job recommendations' to manage notifications for jobs recommended based on your profile.
  8. Toggle each alert on or off to choose how and when you want to receive each job notification.

📌 Why this matters

Managing job alerts on LinkedIn helps job seekers stay informed about relevant opportunities without being overwhelmed by unwanted notifications. LinkedIn's notification settings give users granular control over job alerts, saved jobs, and profile-based recommendations — all from one place. This matters because a well-configured alert system ensures you never miss a matching role while keeping your inbox distraction-free. For active and passive job seekers alike, mastering these settings is a key step in an effective LinkedIn job search strategy.
