Share a job on your own LinkedIn feed without leaving the job's page: write a short post, select Post to LinkedIn, and the post goes out with the job's apply link attached.
Step 1: Your post
The text of your post. It starts with a short suggestion naming the role; change it to anything you like.
Step 2: Post to LinkedIn
Publishes the post to your own LinkedIn feed, with the job's apply link attached as a link preview.
Step 3: Share dialog
Opens LinkedIn's own share window with the apply link filled in. It works for everyone, with no connection needed.
Post a job
- Open the job from Jobs. The LinkedIn card is on the job's page and under Channels.
- Edit the post text.
- Select Post to LinkedIn.
- The first time, a Connect LinkedIn to post window appears. Select Connect LinkedIn, allow posting on LinkedIn's page, and you come straight back to the job. Your text is kept. Select Post to LinkedIn again.
- When the post is live, it opens in a new tab so you can check it.
On Job boards, social media and tracked links's Publish & share, Your LinkedIn post works the same way, and once team links exist the post carries your own tracked link, so applicants from your feed are counted for you.
The connection belongs to you, not to the workspace: each colleague who wants to post connects their own LinkedIn account once. If LinkedIn later asks you to connect again, for example after your connection expires, the same window appears.
You can also connect ahead of time on the Integrations page: Connect LinkedIn on the LinkedIn row turns on posting and sign-in with LinkedIn in one approval, and the row shows which of the two are on. See Integrations.
The post is public and appears on your personal feed. A note of who shared the job goes into the job's activity.
What this is not
- Not a LinkedIn Jobs listing. This posts to your feed. To list the role on LinkedIn Jobs, use the LinkedIn row under Distribution, which prepares the listing's fields for you. See Job boards, social media and tracked links.
- Not a company page post. Posts go to your personal profile, not to your company's LinkedIn page.
Where feed applicants are counted
The link attached to the post is the job's plain apply link, so people who apply from your feed post are counted as Direct (untracked) in Analytics, not under LinkedIn.
How the link looks
When LinkedIn shows the apply link, it uses the job's share card: your logo, the job title, the location and the must-have skills in your colour. See Private roles, share cards and candidate links.
Who can post
Anyone in your workspace who can see the job can post it to their own feed, whatever their role. The card asks for an apply link, so the job needs to be published first.
