Step 3: Set Your Keywords

Click the extension icon in your toolbar to open the popup. In the keywords field:

1. Type a keyword and press Enter or , to add it as a tag.
2. Add every spelling variation of your target skill (see the keywords guide for examples).
3. Keep all keywords in the same job domain.

Step 4: Choose Post Type and Work Type

• Post Type: Choose Hiring if you are a job seeker, Open to Work if you are a recruiter, or Any for both.
• Work Type: Choose Remote, Hybrid, Onsite, or Any.

Step 5: Start Watching

3. Scroll your feed normally. The extension reads every post that appears on screen.
4. Matching posts (those with your keywords + a direct email or phone) appear in the popup and dashboard instantly.

Using the Dashboard

The dashboard at /dashboard shows all found posts in a searchable list. From here you can:

• Search by name, keyword, email, or phone.
• Copy individual contact details with one click.
• Export all posts as CSV, JSON, or an encrypted backup file.
• Delete posts you no longer need.

Getting More Results

The extension finds posts that appear on your feed. If your feed has little relevant content, use the 🔎 Search on LinkedIn button in the popup. It opens a LinkedIn content search with an AI-optimized query built from your keywords, surfacing fresh posts from outside your network.
