LinkedIn Easy Apply is a powerful feature that lets candidates apply to your jobs directly on LinkedIn with just a few clicks, increasing application volume but sometimes reducing candidate quality. PyjamaHR gives you full control to enable or disable Easy Apply for each job or across your account, so you can choose whether to collect applications on LinkedIn or redirect candidates to your own careers page. This article provides step-by-step instructions, best practices, troubleshooting, and answers to the most common questions about managing LinkedIn Easy Apply from within PyjamaHR.

What is LinkedIn Easy Apply?
LinkedIn Easy Apply allows candidates to submit their application directly on LinkedIn, often with just their profile and a resume. When enabled, this can dramatically increase the number of applicants, but some customers report lower candidate quality or a preference to drive all applicants to their own careers page.

Why control Easy Apply via PyjamaHR?
- Quality Control: Some recruiters prefer to collect applications only through their own careers page for better screening and data capture.
- Candidate Experience: You may want to provide a branded application process or collect additional information not supported by LinkedIn Easy Apply.
- Compliance: Certain roles or industries may require a specific application workflow.

Integration with PyjamaHR:
PyjamaHR integrates with LinkedIn so you can publish jobs directly and control how candidates apply—either via LinkedIn Easy Apply or by redirecting to your careers page (including custom pages via API).

Business Impact:
- More Candidates: Easy Apply increases applicant volume.
- Better Screening: Disabling Easy Apply can improve candidate quality and ensure all applicants go through your preferred process.

Screenshot suggestion: Show the LinkedIn integration settings page with the Easy Apply toggle highlighted.

Screenshot suggestion: Show the job publishing modal with the LinkedIn row and the three-dot menu.

Note: Changes may take up to 24–72 hours to reflect on LinkedIn due to their review process.

Do’s:
- Regularly review your LinkedIn integration settings.
- Communicate with your team about which jobs should use Easy Apply.
- Use filters to analyze candidate quality by source.

Don’ts:
- Don’t expect instant changes on LinkedIn—always allow for review time.
- Don’t forget to check both account-wide and job-specific settings if Easy Apply isn’t behaving as expected.

1. Jobs not visible on LinkedIn after publishing
- LinkedIn can take 24–72 hours to review and publish jobs.
- If jobs are still not visible after 72 hours, check if they were published via PyjamaHR and not directly on LinkedIn.

2. Can’t find the “Enable Apply Connect” option
- Ensure the job is published to LinkedIn via PyjamaHR.
- The three-dot menu (⋮) next to LinkedIn in the Publish section is where you’ll find this option.

3. “Apply Connect enabled successfully” but not reflected on LinkedIn
- Wait at least 30–60 minutes; LinkedIn may take time to update.
- If still not visible, refresh the LinkedIn job page or clear your browser cache.
- If the issue persists, contact PyjamaHR support with a screen recording.

4. Easy Apply not working for a specific job
- Check both the account-wide LinkedIn integration setting and the job-specific setting.
- Make sure the job is published and live on LinkedIn.

5. Applications going to PyjamaHR careers page instead of your own
- Use the API integration to redirect to your custom careers page.

1. How long does it take for changes to Easy Apply to reflect on LinkedIn?
24–72 hours due to LinkedIn’s review process.

2. Can I disable Easy Apply for all jobs by default?
Yes, via Settings > Integrations > LinkedIn > Manage.

3. Can I enable or disable Easy Apply for only one job?
Yes, use the three-dot menu in the job’s Publish section.

4. Why is the quality of candidates low with Easy Apply?
Easy Apply reduces friction, so more candidates apply, sometimes with less intent. Disable it for critical roles if needed.

5. How do I redirect candidates to my own careers page?
Disable Easy Apply and use PyjamaHR’s API to integrate your custom page.

6. I don’t see the three-dot menu or Apply Connect option—what should I do?
Ensure the job is published via PyjamaHR to LinkedIn and not created directly on LinkedIn.

7. Can I download only Easy Apply applications?
Yes, filter by Source = LinkedIn Free in the All Candidates view.

8. Why is my job not showing under Open Jobs on my LinkedIn company page?
Wait for LinkedIn’s review period. If still not visible, verify the job was published via PyjamaHR.

9. Can I change Easy Apply settings after a job is published?
Yes, update the setting in PyjamaHR; changes will reflect on LinkedIn after their review period.

10. What if I want to collect applications only on my careers page, not LinkedIn?
Disable Easy Apply and ensure Apply Connect is enabled for the job.

11. What’s the difference between Easy Apply and Apply Connect?
Easy Apply lets candidates apply directly on LinkedIn. Apply Connect redirects them to your careers page.

12. How do I add more departments to the job posting dropdown?
Type your department name and hit Enter if it’s not in the dropdown.
