When posting a job from your LinkedIn member account, you’ll be able to pay to promote your job by choosing Promoted or, if available, Promoted Plus.
Check out some of our frequently asked questions below.
How does my promotion budget work?
Your budget controls the amount of promotion your job post will receive on LinkedIn and the frequency of your job post appearing in promoted placements. Increasing your budget will allow you to reach more candidates faster. Using an average daily budget, we will adjust your daily budget to meet demand.
How much will it cost me to promote a job?
Your final cost will depend on the amount of demand for your job.
When will I be billed?
You will be billed every 30 days after your first job is posted if promoted on desktop or Android, or earlier if you reach your account limit of $500. Once all jobs are closed, you will be charged for any outstanding charges.
Here's a tip
The daily budget is based on UTC timing, and resets accordingly.
Where does my job appear?
Your job will be shown to relevant candidates in promoted placements across LinkedIn, including at the top of job search results, through email and mobile notifications to qualified candidates.
How do you calculate estimated applicants?
Our estimate of the number of applicants is calculated based on the performance of job posts on LinkedIn with similar titles and location.
How long will my job be posted?
Your job post will be active until you close it or until the job’s spend reaches your selected total budget. You can close the job post at any time. If you’ve specified a total budget, your job post will automatically be paused once its spend reaches that amount. You can unpause a paused job by adding to the total budget.
You will only be charged (credit card charge or job credit reduction, depending on method of payment) for job post views received on the days your job was posted. Keep in mind that while your job is still searchable, you cannot accept applications while your job is paused.
How will I get an applicant’s information when they apply for my job?
When you post a job, you can select how you want to receive applicant information. You can collect it on LinkedIn and get email updates with new applicants. Or, you can route applicants to an external website to apply, such as your career site or ATS.
Who can see my job post?
We’ll share your job across LinkedIn, through email and mobile notifications to professionals whose skills and location match the job. Anyone on LinkedIn can find your post through search, and if you have a Company Page, it will appear there, too. You can also share your job via social media.
Can I promote a job on mobile?
Yes, you can promote your job on both iOS and Android mobile apps. For jobs promoted on an iOS device, you will need to buy job posting credits for job promotion. After you promote your job, you can close it at any time. Unused credits purchased in iOS for job promotion won’t expire. If you don’t want to purchase job posting credits, you can promote your job on web or Android.
I’ve already posted a free job. Can I upgrade my job post to Promoted or Promoted Plus?
Promoted Plus (and the AI-assistant) is only available to purchase when you first post your job. You can upgrade a free job to Promoted at any time, but you cannot upgrade to Promoted Plus at a later time. As of right now, you’ll need to close your job and create a new job to upgrade it to Promoted Plus. We're currently working to provide this option soon.
Can I purchase Promoted Plus on the mobile app?
Currently, you can purchase Promoted Plus on the Android mobile app, if Promoted Plus is available for your job. The option to promote your job with Promoted Plus on iOS mobile will be available at a later time.
Important to know
The AI-assistant is only available to jobs that have Promoted Plus. If you’d like to use the AI-assistant, you must select Promoted Plus when posting your job. It will not be available after. To select Promoted Plus, you must be on the web or Android.
Can I remove my credit card?
Yes. You can remove your credit card, but it will suspend your service.
Can I set the total amount I want to spend for a job post?
You can set a total budget for your job post to specify the maximum amount you’d like to be charged. Once your total budget spend is reached, the job will automatically pause and you can choose to add more total budget to continue the job post or close the job.
Can I edit my job post after it has been posted?
You can edit your daily budget, total budget, and change everything in the job description, except for the job location. In certain cases, you may need to navigate to the web to edit your budget.
How is the recommended budget calculated?
The recommended budget is based on jobs with similar titles and locations and your specific hiring goals.
