Article summary

Note

Publishing jobs on job boards is available only to subscribers and not accessible to free trial accounts. Refer to this article for more information on how to subscribe.

Important
  • In order to publish jobs on job boards directly from Manatal, your career page must be enabled. Refer to this article to learn more about enabling and disabling your career page.
  • Posting on LinkedIn requires a job description with a minimum of 100 characters to be included, a job title and a location.
  • Jobs can be excluded from posting if they do not meet LinkedIn's quality guidelines.
Important

LinkedIn's global job posting policies specify that search and staffing companies do not have the capability to post jobs for free on LinkedIn. This means users using the "Agency" account type within Manatal cannot directly post jobs for free on LinkedIn. This policy applies universally to all LinkedIn clients worldwide, whether utilizing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) or directly posting on the platform.

For comprehensive details and insights, a dedicated article from LinkedIn has been included for reference.

Manatal offers two options when it comes to posting your jobs to LinkedIn:

  • Post "Limited Listings" to LinkedIn. Through this channel, you can publish jobs directly to your LinkedIn Company Page. These are then visible to candidates actively conducting a job search, or visiting your Company Page. Limited Listings receive limited active promotion to LinkedIn members as compared to premium postings.
  • In order to increase the exposure of their job ads, Manatal users also have the option to post premium job ads to LinkedIn. Please refer to the following article for more details on premium job ad posting.

In order to post your jobs on LinkedIn using Limited Listings, please follow the two steps below:

  1. Enable the LinkedIn job posting integration (this has to be done only once)
  2. Share your jobs to LinkedIn
Important

Be aware that the term "applicant" (#1) on your LinkedIn job post refers to LinkedIn users that have clicked on the "Apply" button of that job post (#2). This does not mean that all those "applicants" have submitted their application on your career page, therefore the number of "applicants" mentioned on your job post might be higher than the number of candidates you actually receive in that job's pipeline in Manatal.

  3. Click on "Publish" to have the job published to LinkedIn.

Important

Be aware that employees with access to your LinkedIn company page have the ability to "Claim Jobs" on LinkedIn that are posted to your company profile page through Manatal. This will have the effect of sending applications to the person who has claimed the job instead of sending candidates to Manatal. As such we recommend that jobs posted through Manatal should not be claimed as to ensure all applications are sent to your Manatal account.
