The Best Job-Search Apps to Find Your Dream Job in 2024
1. LinkedIn
Did you know that 77 percent of recruiters rely on LinkedIn to find prospective job candidates? LinkedIn is a solid all-in-one job-search app, perfect for networking, sharing professional news, interacting with co-workers, and searching for jobs.
First, set your profile “open to job opportunities” (only visible to recruiters) to receive opportunities straight to your InMail box. Then, set up job-search alerts to receive notifications about the most recent, relevant postings. If you want even more job-search intel, like salary insights and how you compare to other applicants, sign up for Premium, which is free for the first month.

It only curates remote jobs, so you can be sure you aren't wasting your time. Its interface is simple and to the point; just search for jobs by field.
