Hide n' Seek: Hide Promoted Jobs & Companies
Description from store

Hide n' Seek lets you easily remove promoted job postings and companies from your search results on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor. You can also block job listings by keyword.

⭐ Usage
❗IMPORTANT: The first time you use Hide n' Seek on a job board you'll need to grant permissions in order for it to work, otherwise you won't see the block buttons on the listings. You'll know if you need to grant permissions if you see a yellow alert notification bubble next to the Hide n' Seek button on your browser's toolbar. You can grant permissions by clicking the Hide n' Seek button and then clicking the "Enable Hide n' Seek on {Job Board}" button.

You can search for a job by clicking the Hide n' Seek button on the browser's toolbar or you can go directly to a supported job board's website to perform your search if you prefer.

“Block” buttons are added next to every listing. If you see a listing you don’t like, simply click the button to hide it. By default, the listing will be hidden under an overlay. Alternatively, you can completely eliminate it from search results by enabling the “Do not display hidden jobs” option.

To hide promoted jobs, click the “block” button on any promoted listing and then activate the “Promoted” toggle.

To hide jobs by keyword, visit one of the supported job boards, click the Hide n' Seek button on your browser's toolbar, and then add keywords using the "Block by keyword" field.

You can also view a list of everything you've hidden, and backup and restore your data by clicking the Hide n’ Seek button on your browser’s toolbar.

📋Supported Job Boards
Glassdoor
Indeed
LinkedIn

🔒 Privacy
Your data remains completely private and is never shared. All data is stored locally on your device and may sync across your devices if browser synchronization is enabled.

🔑 Permissions
Hide n' Seek requires browser permissions to function. When you first try to use it on a job board, you'll be asked to grant permissions.

"Read and change your data on all {Job Board} sites"
This permission allows the addition of "Block" buttons and other UI elements to listings.

"Read your browsing history"
This permission enables the detection of LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor so the extension knows when to look for listings.

Permissions are granted for a specific job board, so if you use multiple job boards, such as LinkedIn and Indeed, you'll need to grant permissions for each one individually.

Some job boards, such as Glassdoor, use many country-specific domains (for example glassdoor.com, glassdoor.co.uk, glassdoor.ca), and in these cases Hide n' Seek will ask for permissions for all the domains used by the job board.

Works as advertised. Are there any plans to add support for other websites like Handshake?
Edward Galvez
Once I figured out what the red 🚫 were for, I was able to get it to work. The issue now is it seems like 99% of jobs on Linkedin are promoted. When you fix that please let me know /s
Francisco Montoya
Stopped working. Does not actually hide or flag promoted jobs on LinkedIn anymore.
kadappa savalagi
Man you did an awesome job , Thank You very much , i was frustrated with fake jobs, thank you so muchhhhhhhhhhh.
Rob Cox
Finally, an extension that lets me block job listings that aren't job listings but opportunities to pay Twine to apply for jobs.

awesome product!
Gabriel Gro
All it does is lap a "hidden" label over the blocked employers. You're still going to have to skip through pages of them because it doesn't "block" ANYTHING.
Ashley Jolliffe
Probably works fine for what it does, but I want it to work for Seek, a website used primarily in Australia.
Kevin Webster
Incredibly simple, but it just plain works. Why can't more extensions be this simple
Ali Khan
Does exactly what it says. Perfect for hiding repetitive/ spammy job listings on indeed
Xherie Cabral
Thank you thank you so much for creating this app. I wish that this could also work on Jobstreet. Thank you again

Just located this plugin and its working great on LinkedIn! Thank you!
Justin Hinh
Phenomenal extension. Has literally saved me dozens of hours. Can't believe it's free!
Warren Galyen
Discovered this on a post you left on Reddit. Thanks for creating this! Very useful. This is a really easy way to filter out all the companies I applied to in the past who keep reposting jobs or I know are not hiring. It's a shame the job market has come to this.

Hide n'seek was powerful but for few days (or weeks ?) impossible for me to hide promoted jobs, only possible to hide companies ... Sorry, may be it's because of my bad english but I still have the problem., possible to hide companies but not promoted jobs Sorry but I don't have (and don't need) github account to connect

Update 2024-08-12: Version 5.0.1 fixed the issue, thank you for swift fix Damian. Note: The new version should be available in 1-3 days on Chrome Web Store or it can be manually installed through GitHub. Hey, thank you for your great job, I have been using this for weeks, filtering 400+ companies. Unfortunately as of today it partially stopped working. I think LinkedIn may have changed how jobs are named. Filtering before: *presses on red circle* filter applied on "Adecco" Filtering now: *presses on red circle* filter applied on "Adecco · Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland (On-site)" There is always " · " as separator, detecting that might fix the issue. Thank you.

What would I do without this wonderful extension.
Harrison Rosser
Can't believe LinkedIn is willing to let borderline scam companies spam listings. This extension is a lifesaver. Can't thank you enough damianmgarcia

Life-saving Chrome extension if you want to streamline your job search. Only question is, if I was to switch computers, how would I retain my list? I have 140+ companies blocked but I don't see a cloud backup or a way to export my list.

Found this gem through reddit, makes my job searching infinitely better I recommend this to EVERYONE using LinkedIn.
Dan Wilson
Read about this on Reddit, works a treat to hide all the spammy aggregator job posts on LinkedIn
Jon T
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. Linkedin is getting spammed with 3rd party "survey" jobs in my software testing searches, pages and pages of cloned companies and verbatim job posts... Thank you so much
Ollie
I've just installed this to get rid of spammy job listings on Indeed - it is a GODSEND and actually works so well!! In 5 minutes, this has saved me hours of time. Thank you so much!!!
Mohammed Emad Al Shalloudi
This is an absolutely awesome extension! I've been using it on the daily and it really does its job perfectly! I have since shifted from Chrome to Firefox, are you considering porting the extension to Firefox in the near future?

Hi, Damian, When I use this , the search result do show the block button and comfirm dialog, But it seems dose not block the companies later, Is that normal? However, When click inspect popup of this extention, suddenly, it works.
Aurelien Gregor
Looks awesome
Eli Ver Haagh
Absolutely fantastic, honestly a game changer. This helped me sift out literally hundreds of posts I kept getting promoted from 3 very shady recruiters and 2 outright fake companies that always dominated my LinkedIn feed.
V Collins
You absolute hero this is brilliant!
tautomer
Luckily, I found this extension over the reddit post. I can finally hide stuff from certain companies.
Jyan Zárate
Amazing, I'm using it to block the companies that spam job ads everywhere and you can block them with just 1 click!

A must-have for job seekers! Link*in simply pushes a TON of irrelevant but "promoted" items and this extension is the cure!
Adam Lion
a god send. thx

Great tool! 11/5 for sure! I think if it can offer on top filtering, rather using LinkedIn ones - for example - hiding companies with specific size of people in them, or posts without linked person → it will be awesome!
Arthur Molinari
Amazing.

Not really what I was looking for. More or less a search filter. How about an extension that lets me blacklist companies and jobs from my indeed feed, emails, etc.

I never leave reviews, but this is the best highly specific add-on I have ever seen. It tackles a small but annoying problem people face, and addresses it in the most minimal way possible. I love it. I thought about creating something like this myself, and I'm so glad it's already been done. One critique: The ability to remove listing based on "Promoted" seems to be gone. It was available a few weeks ago, but there is no option available anymore. Please do bring it back.

Does exactly what you need! Looking for remote work on LinkedIn is a nightmare, especially when you see the same 1-2 recruiting companies over and over with no block option. Thank you for making this :)
