Post a free job on LinkedIn

You can create online job posts on LinkedIn to advertise open positions at your company. Job seekers can search for these opportunities throughout the LinkedIn network. You can post a free job or you can promote your job to broaden your reach to more qualified candidates.

Be sure that your free jobs are associated with your company's LinkedIn Page. To learn more about how to create a LinkedIn Page, see "Create a LinkedIn Page" in the below Related tasks section.

After 14 days, the job will be paused and posters can choose to either promote or close it before the job post reaches 30 days and completely closes if it is not promoted. Members can post a maximum of 1 free job at a time and a limited number of free jobs in a 30-day window.

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.
