Set up automated job postings

Last updated: 4 months ago

You can set up Job Wrapping through self-serve by simply entering your ATS details in Recruiter. This is available to all Job Slot customers. 

  • If you have = or > 51 slots, all ATS's are eligible for Job Wrapping. Find out if your ATS is approved here by checking the list of supported ATS vendors.
  • If you have <51 slots, you must have an approved ATS or use an XML feed. 

Important to know

There are different technical methods to post your jobs on LinkedIn. To choose the right ingestion method for your needs, this short guide provides further details on all three methods: scraping, XML, and API. If you are working with non-standardized formats on your job or career pages, the XML and API methods are recommended and provide a very stable experience. 

Follow these steps to add or edit an ATS or any job source in Recruiter: 

  1. Move your cursor over your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter homepage and select Product settings from the dropdown.

  2. Click Job posting on the left-hand side.  

  3. Next to Job sources for automated job postings, click View/Edit.

  4. Click the Job source requests tab.  

  5. Click Add new job source.  

  6. In the Connect your ATS slide-in window, open the drop-down list and choose the correct source.

    • If you're connecting an ATS, pick the correct ATS from the list.
    • If you specifically have a LinkedIn Formatted XML feed, scroll to the bottom of the drop-down list and select LinkedIn Jobs XML. For more information, see the Jobs XML Feed Development Guide for customers.

  7. After selecting your ATS or job source, complete the remaining fields in the form: 

    • Name of job source 
    • Job source URL: Enter the URL of your job page or career site.  
    • Estimated number of expected open jobs from source
    • Enable job backfill: When backfill is enabled, unused Job Slots will automatically be filled with the most recently posted jobs from your ATS or career site. You will also designate a default person to be the job poster for all backfill jobs. 
    • Company page on LinkedIn 
    • Applicant source tracking code: Tracking measures whether candidates who click your jobs on LinkedIn complete the application in your ATS, providing a more accurate view of ROI to inform future job postings.
    • Additional information (optional): Enter any relevant information that may help when setting up this request, such as an additional source URL, job exclusion requirements, IP whitelist request needed, etc.

Note: If your ATS is not listed, please reach out to your ATS provider for details on how to configure your source code. If your ATS has a standard source code format, we may have already added tracking for you. Please check Product settings to confirm.

Once your ATS has been connected, the Status will change from "Source in process of activation" to "ATS source added." You can also view your configured ATS on the Configured sources tab.

You may receive an email from the LinkedIn Support team with instructions on next steps, including ensuring your jobs are displaying accurately. You'll have the option to connect directly with the LinkedIn Support team to understand if there are customized solutions that will help with the quality of your setup.
