>> The second problem is that it is not possible to get only the latest ads (in LinkedIn) for example ads that are less than a week old. So I ended up having to page through a lot of ads I had already seen

This is by far the worst thing about searching for jobs in LinkedIn. It is horribly inconvenient to simply find the most recent jobs posted in the past 24 hours because all of the old promoted jobs are taking up 90% of the search results

View on HN

There is a filter to only show jobs posted in the last 24 hours. But even when I had searches saves with the 24 filter applied, I still had to manually enable it when going back into the results page.

Probably because that way they can sell companies the idea "look your job post was viewed over 9000 times" even if it's noise for people briwsing these ads.

For me, even when filtering by 24 hours almost the entire page is filled with promoted ads, most of which were “reposted” in the past 24 hrs

Yeah, I’ve noticed the same thing too. It’s like all the jobs I see are paid promotions and the good jobs are buried in the back. I even have LinkedIn premium. It seems that LinkedIn forgot I’m a paying customer

For me it is the second worst thing. I'm trying to look for jobs that can be done from NZ. I don't care where the company is based.

Searching for remote jobs brings up jobs that can only be done by people living in [UK, US, NL, DE, etc]. There just doesn't seem to be a way to filter jobs by "will they employ people in my location".

Infuriating!
