Question
How do I post a job ad on LinkedIn Premium?
Answer
You can post a job ad to LinkedIn Premium via the Role Posting feature within the Recruitment module. Before you can start posting your job, please make sure:
- You will need to set up your LinkedIn integration.
- You will need to have LinkedIn Job Slots available on your account.
-
You have contacted your LinkedIn Account Manager to set posting permissions to authorise our third-party, Idibu, to post to your LinkedIn Premium account for your organisation.
- Click the Recruitment menu.
- Click the Jobs tab
- Click the button.
- Click the Edit Job Details button.
- Click the Adverts tab.
- Click the Post to Job Boards button.
- Select the LinkedIn option and click the Continue button.
- Enter the required fields to publish your job ad.
Helpful Hint
If all the requirements are met, the job ad will successfully go live on LinkedIn and all applications will be pulled to the Employment Hero ATS. Your job ad can take up to 24 hours to go live and appear on LinkedIn’s job board.
Why can I not post my job ads on LinkedIn?
There can be a lot of reasons that a LinkedIn post may fail. For us to determine the specific reason in your case, can you please cross-check each of the below, and make sure that:
The Company ID entered into Employment Hero matches your LinkedIn account
To obtain your LinkedIn Company ID number, you will need someone who has Admin permissions for your organisation's LinkedIn company account to log into LinkedIn, and instead of the company name in the URL bar, they will see the Company ID number. You can then check this against the details entered in Employment Hero by going to the Job Boards feature and clicking the Edit button.
Your Contract ID is correct
Navigate to LinkedIn, and log into your Recruiter platform. Next, select your user information in the top right of the page and you will now see your Contract ID displayed. You can then check this against the details entered in Employment Hero by going to the Job Boards feature and clicking the Edit button.
You have a paid LinkedIn Premium subscription with credits and a job slot available.
Make sure you have a valid, paid LinkedIn premium account that has credits loaded and job slots available to use.
LinkedIn has authorised Idibu (our third-party integration partner), to post to your LinkedIn Premium account.
You will need to contact your LinkedIn Account Manager to make sure this was configured in their backend.
You have authorised using Employment Hero (Idibu) as your Job Posting partner in your Recruiter platform.
You can check this by logging into your LinkedIn Recruiter platform, and going to the Recruiter Product Settings module. Next, select the Job Posting tab and then select the Job Posting Partner option. Here you can select Idibu as the partner and choose the Default Poster (you) options.
When posting the role, no more than three Job Functions have been selected.
Make sure in the Job Functions field you do not select more then three options.
If you have updated the Company ID, and Contract ID (points 1 or 2) or had included more than 3 Job Functions when initially posting the role (point 6), you can go ahead and repost the role straight away.
To do this, please refer to the following article. However, please note that if you have updated your LinkedIn subscription or billing, added, or changed the Job Posting Partner, or had LinkedIn set authorisation on their side points 3, 4, or 5, these changes can all take 24 hours to take effect.
