There is a gap between the moment a recruiter publishes a job and the moment you see it on LinkedIn. The role goes live on the company's own career page first. Everything else, LinkedIn, Bayt, Indeed, GulfTalent, is downstream of that.
By the time a Dubai role trends on LinkedIn, it can already have 200 applicants. I scraped one recently that said exactly that: "Over 200 applicants," on a role posted two days earlier.
You can read the source instead. It's public, and it's free.
Why the career page is the source
Companies don't type jobs into LinkedIn. They enter them once into an applicant tracking system, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, and that system pushes copies outward to job boards on its own schedule. The company's own careers page reads from that database directly.
