How to Post Jobs for Free on LinkedIn

Create a Free Job Post on LinkedIn in Minutes and Share It with Relevant Candidates to Quickly Recruit Qualified Candidates.

 Step 1: Prepare for the job post.

✓ Access LinkedIn Jobs to start your job posting.

✓ Company Name: Enter your company name or choose from the dropdown list.

✓  Title: Enter the job title.

✓ Location: Enter the work location or indicate if it's a remote position.

Tip: Choose from the suggested titles in the dropdown list. It's best to use recognizable and commonly used titles.

Step 2: Write the job description and add required skills.

Fact: The application rate is over 17.8% higher for job posts with 150 words or less compared to job posts with 450 to 600 words.

User-friendly JD templates: Start your recruitment journey smoothly with customizable job description templates available on LinkedIn. These templates ensure that your job post is clear, concise, and uses appropriate language.

Include four to six bullet points for job requirements: List responsibilities and qualifications in four to six easy-to-read bullet points on mobile devices, and avoid using overly vague descriptions such as "must have the ability to prioritize tasks to meet deadlines."

Include hard and soft skills: Add necessary skills to your job post. You can include hard skills such as proficiency in technical languages or mathematics, as well as soft skills such as leadership ability or adaptability.

Attach links to company or job-specific information: Attract more interested candidates by including links to pages that showcase your company's achievements, examples of work culture, or any other content that helps your company stand out.

Tip: Over 50% of job views on LinkedIn are done through mobile devices, so avoid using large blocks of text, prioritize the most important information, and use formatting (such as bolding) to highlight key sections.

Step 3: Add screening questions.

Fact: 80% of job posts on LinkedIn with screening questions will receive qualified candidates within 24 hours.

Include at least three screening questions: LinkedIn advises that you include at least three screening questions to quickly identify the most qualified candidates.

Designate mandatory screening questions: Indicate which screening questions are mandatory and choose whether your job listing automatically rejects candidates who do not meet all the mandatory criteria.

Enable automatic rejection notifications: Enabling rejection emails will automatically be sent to candidates who do not meet the qualifications. This step will save you hours of work and ensure you respond to every candidate.

Tip: Click on "+ Add a new question" to choose from LinkedIn's question library or create your own custom questions.

Step 4: Complete the free job posting.

Congratulations! You are ready to post your job.

View and manage all your posted LinkedIn Jobs: You can discover even more talented candidates by regularly modifying your job posts based on feedback from applicants.

Do you want to get more out of your job posts on LinkedIn? Pay for daily sponsored postings to proactively target more relevant candidates and receive three times the number of qualified applicants.

Efficiently receive referrals for free: Add the #Hiring frame to your profile picture to let your LinkedIn connections know you are seeking candidates. Regularly share all your active job posts on your LinkedIn profile and expand your network connections. Great candidates are often found through referral networks.
