How to Post a Job Listing on Linkedin

Step 1: Log into LinkedIn and Navigate to the Job Posting Section

1. Go to LinkedIn Jobs or click "Work" (grid icon) in the top right of LinkedIn and select "Post a job" from the dropdown.
2. Click “Post a Free Job” or choose a paid option if you want more visibility.

Step 2: Fill in the Job Details

3. Enter the Job Title, Company Name, Workplace Type (Remote, Hybrid, On-Site), Job Location, and Employment Type (Full-Time, Part-Time, Contract, etc.).
4. Click “Next” to move to the job description.

Step 3: Add a Job Description

5. Enter or paste your job description, ensuring you include:
   1. Key Responsibilities
   2. Required Qualifications
   3. Preferred skills
   4. Compensation details (optional)

Tip: Use LinkedIn’s AI-powered job description suggestions if you want help writing.

6. Click "Next" to proceed.

Step 4: Set Application Preferences

7. Choose how you want to receive applications:
   1. Directly on LinkedIn (default)
   2. An external website (for tracking through an ATS)
   3. Email inbox (you provide an email address)
8. Set screening questions (to filter out unqualified candidates). Example options:
   1. Multiple-choice or yes/no questions (e.g., “Do you have 3+ years of sales experience?” or “Are you available to work weekends?”)
   2. Open-ended questions to gauge communication skills
   3. Required skills (LinkedIn will recommend some based on your job title)

LinkedIn Smart Filtering: If you set screening questions, LinkedIn can automatically filter out candidates who don’t meet your must-have criteria.

9. Click “Next” when done.

Step 5: Choose a Budget (Optional)

10. LinkedIn will ask if you want to promote the job for more visibility.
    1. Free Posting: Limited visibility; job listing appears for a short time.
    2. Paid Promotion: You set a daily budget (Pay-Per-Click) to reach more candidates.
11. Click "Continue" to proceed.

Step 6: Final Review & Post Job

12. Review your job post for errors and ensure everything is correct.
13. Click “Post Job for Free” (or confirm payment details for a paid post).
14. Your job is now live.

Step 7: Manage Applicants & Use Filters

15. Go to "Manage Job Posts" to track candidates.
16. Use LinkedIn’s applicant filters to:
    1. Sort by most qualified candidates (based on skills, experience, etc.).
    2. Auto-filter applicants who don’t meet screening question criteria.
    3. Manually review resumes and message candidates directly.
