In addition to the existing LinkedIn app, the professional networking service recently introduced LinkedIn Job Search, a new standalone app that puts more of a focus on hunting for jobs rather than networking. With the app, users are able to quickly search for a job with a location-based search, as well as get job positions recommended to them and notifications sent. Now, instead of seeking opportunities, they can come to you.
Just as you can on LinkedIn, you can also save favorite job posts and apply with the click of a button. However, the best part of the LinkedIn Job Search app is that it's totally private, allowing you to have your LinkedIn profile connected without the worry of having your network seeing your personal search activity or jobs that you have saved.
