Hide LinkedIn Applicants is a free Chrome extension developed by decemberthedeveloper. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This extension aims to alleviate the stress of job searching on LinkedIn by hiding the number of job applicants for each role.

Many job seekers have experienced discouragement upon seeing a high number of applicants for a job listing, often leading them to not apply at all. However, the number of applicants displayed on LinkedIn is often inaccurate, making it an unreliable metric. Unfortunately, there is no built-in option to disable this feature on the platform.

With the Hide LinkedIn Applicants extension, users can now remove the applicant count, allowing them to focus on the job description and requirements without being influenced by the perceived competition. By eliminating this unnecessary stress, job seekers can feel more empowered to apply to a greater number of open roles.
