Forward your job alerts (LinkedIn, Naukri, Indeed, Wellfound…)

Your personal forwarding address is on the Job alerts page (top menu). It looks like k7f3a9c2bd@in.…. Only job-alert emails from job sites (and emails you forward yourself) are read. Anything else sent to it is ignored.

First, set up alerts on the sites (if you haven't): LinkedIn → Jobs → search → "Set alert"; Naukri → "Create job alert"; Indeed → "Get new jobs for this search by email"; Wellfound, Instahyre, Cutshort and the rest → turn on their job alert or job recommendation emails in their settings.

Gmail: forward them automatically

1. Gmail → Settings (gear) → See all settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP → Add a forwarding address → paste your address → Next → Proceed.
2. Gmail sends us a confirmation email. Within a minute, the confirmation code appears on the Job alerts page. Paste it back in Gmail and press Verify. (You don't need to forward everything: leave "Disable forwarding" selected if Gmail asks.)
3. Gmail → search bar → filter icon → From: [email protected] OR naukri.com OR indeed.com OR wellfound.com OR instahyre.com OR cutshort.io → Create filter → tick Forward it to → choose your address → Create filter. (The Job alerts page has the full line to copy.)

Outlook: Settings → Mail → Rules → Add new rule → From contains linkedin.com (and the others) → Forward to → your address.

Or just forward one by hand: forward any alert email to your address; it's read the same way.

Jobs from your alerts are private to you. The Job alerts page shows the last emails received and how many jobs each had.
