You can post a job on LinkedIn to advertise open roles at your company. Job seekers can discover your job through LinkedIn search and recommendations. You can post one job for free or choose to promote a job to increase its visibility and reach more qualified candidates.
A free job post remains active for up to 14 days. After 14 days, the job is paused and you can choose to promote it or close it. If the job isn’t promoted, it will automatically close after 30 days. Members can have up to one free job post active at a time and a limited number of free job posts within a 30‑day period.
Free job posts also include an application limit, which typically ranges from 10 to 30 applications depending on the role.
Free job posts must be associated with your company’s LinkedIn Page. If you don’t already have a LinkedIn Page, see Create a LinkedIn Page in the Related tasks section below.
Important to know
Free job posts become less visible in search results over time to give newer job posts the opportunity to be seen by job seekers. When your job post receives a certain number of applications, it'll be paused and removed from search results. If you have shared a direct URL, through LinkedIn or through other channels, your job post will appear closed until you take action to unpause it. To unpause your job, you must promote it.
Note: If you’ve purchased job slots through a corporate contract, please learn more about posting jobs in LinkedIn Recruiter in the links below.
