Free job posting eligibility

Last updated: 5 days ago

LinkedIn is committed to being a trusted platform for both employers and candidates by enhancing the quality of job listings. To ensure each job gets the attention it deserves, we pause free jobs after they reach 50 applicants or have been live for 21 days, and hide the job from search after reaching the free applicant limit. After reaching the free applicant limit, your job remains active and accessible via direct link and on your company page jobs tab. However, your job will be hidden from LinkedIn search and email distribution.

To ensure fairness and effectiveness in our marketplace, we may require that your job be promoted enabling unlimited applicants and duration. We may also offer you the option to instead verify your identity to post your job for free. These options enable us to maintain the quality and effectiveness of the job listings on our platform. Terms, conditions, and job post guideline policies apply to all free and promoted job posts.

Important to know
