Early Application
The Reddit post describes a method to find the newest job postings on LinkedIn by manipulating the URL with a hidden time filter parameter (f_TPR). By adding '&f_TPR=60' to the URL, users can filter for jobs posted within the last 60 seconds, potentially being among the first applicants. Some users confirmed the tip works while others shared additional URL parameters for refining job searches (location, remote/on-site, experience level, job type, Easy Apply). However, a recruiter commented that being first doesn't guarantee an advantage and that they often review applications in bulk, while some users have had good experiences when applying in the first 24 hours. There's discussion about whether recruiters prioritize early applications and the impact of AI on the application process.
