Automate LinkedIn Easy Apply job applications and answer application-specific questions.

LinkedIn Easy Apply Bot

Automatically apply to LinkedIn Easy Apply jobs. This bot answers the application questions as well!

This is for educational purposes only. I am not responsible if your LinkedIn account gets suspended or for anything else.

This bot is written in Python using Selenium.

Fork Notes

The original code was failing and no longer maintained. This was forked for the purpose of patching and sharing with new features added.

By Michael Dingess
