Are auto-apply tools safe? Can LinkedIn ban you for using them?

Short answer

Tools that automate actions on LinkedIn itself break LinkedIn’s User Agreement, which prohibits bots and automated methods on its services, and can get your account restricted. Tools that apply on companies’ own career sites, as landed does, do not touch your LinkedIn account.

What LinkedIn prohibits

LinkedIn’s User Agreement lists using bots or other automated methods to access its services, add contacts or send messages among things you agree not to do.

What is safe

Applying on the employer’s own application form is the same as applying yourself. What matters is that every answer is true and the role fits you.

Signs a tool is risky

It asks for your LinkedIn password, it applies to anything regardless of fit, or it writes answers you have not seen and could not stand behind.
