Post an Opportunity to LinkedIn

To post opportunities to LinkedIn, the Enable Post to LinkedIn feature must be enabled in Settings > Integrations > LinkedIn. You also must have a contract with LinkedIn Recruiter and purchase Job Slots from LinkedIn.

For information how to configure the Post to LinkedIn Integration, view the Set Up the Post to LinkedIn Integration help topic.

Note:

Active opportunities published on LinkedIn Job Boards will not be affected when the Post to LinkedIn Integration is reactivated with the enhanced Post to LinkedIn Integration setting. If the Post to LinkedIn Integration is not reactivated, Recruiters will not be able to modify the details on LinkedIn for the active opportunities published on LinkedIn Job Boards or publish additional opportunities to LinkedIn from within the UKG Pro Recruiting product. Recruiters will need to publish opportunities directly through LinkedIn.
