We provide insights on how job search changed in the Covid-19-crisis by analysing data from the LinkedIn professional network for Germany. We find that competition among workers for jobs strongly increased - which is due to additional job seekers rather than higher search intensity. Furthermore, the LinkedIn data show that people from industries particularly affected by the crisis applied much more frequently and there had been a substantial shift in the target industries for applications. Finally, we find that at the onset of the Covid-19-crises applications were made significantly more often below and significantly less often above a person's level of seniority.
