I’ve been there myself, and the answer is straightforward: LinkedIn keeps a record of every job you’ve applied to, but only if you used the “Easy Apply” button or the standard “Apply” flow on the LinkedIn platform. Here’s exactly how to find it:
Important caveats: If you applied through an external company website (by clicking “Apply on company site”), LinkedIn won’t track that application. Also, if you deleted the application confirmation email or cleared your browser history, LinkedIn still retains the record in your account. For a more detailed view, you can also check your “Saved” and “Interviews” tabs under My Jobs – these show roles you’ve saved or where you’ve been invited to interview.
| Feature | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Applied tab | All jobs applied via LinkedIn’s apply system |
| Saved tab | Jobs you bookmarked |
| Interviews tab | Companies that invited you to interview |
Pro tip: If you’re concerned about privacy, note that employers can only see that you applied if they use LinkedIn’s ATS integration – in most cases, they just see your name and profile. The list of your applications is private to you unless you share it.
One last thing: if you’ve applied to a ton of jobs and want to filter by date, role, or company, LinkedIn’s search bar within the Applied tab works well. Just type a keyword. This feature is consistent across all devices and hasn’t changed much in recent years, so it’ll still work in 2026.

Honestly, I just hop onto the LinkedIn app on my phone, tap the Jobs icon at the bottom, then click “My Jobs” at the top of the screen. From there, the “Applied” tab shows everything I’ve sent in. Easy peasy. One thing that tripped me up: if you applied through a third-party site like Workday, it won’t show up here. So I double‑check my email inbox for those external confirmations.

I’m a bit older, so I prefer the desktop version. After logging in, I go to the Jobs dropdown and select “My Jobs.” Then I click “Applied” on the left side. It’s all there. I also use the “Saved” tab to keep track of roles I’m interested in. The “Interviews” tab is handy too – it shows companies that have actually reached out. No tricks, just a clean list.

I’m a recruiter, so I see this from the other side. For job seekers, the “My Jobs” > “Applied” path is correct. But I also recommend using the “Notifications” tab on LinkedIn – every time a company views your application or updates its status, you’ll get a notification. That’s actually a faster way to track progress than scrolling through the Applied list. And if you’re serious about tracking, export your application history by using a browser extension like “LinkedIn Job Tracker” – just be careful with third‑party tools.

I’m a data‑nerd job seeker, so I built a habit: after every application, I note the company name, role, and date in a spreadsheet. But LinkedIn’s built‑in “Applied” tab under “My Jobs” is my primary source of truth. One hidden trick: if you click on a job posting that you’ve already applied to, LinkedIn will show a small banner saying “You applied on [date]” – this confirms the record. Also, the “Activity” section on your own profile (under “See all”) doesn’t show applications, so don’t waste time there.
