Step-by-Step Guide: Posting Jobs to LinkedIn via PyjamaHR

Prerequisites

Active PyjamaHR subscription (free plan no longer available)
Company LinkedIn Page (not a personal profile or showcase page)
LinkedIn page must be verified and not newly created (see troubleshooting for details)
You must be a Super Admin, Admin, or Recruiter in PyjamaHR

1. Integrate Your LinkedIn Company Page

Go to Settings > Integrations in PyjamaHR.
Select LinkedIn and click “Connect.”
- You’ll be prompted to the support chat
- Paste your company's LinkedIn URL and the team will do it from the backend.
- Note: Only company pages can be integrated. Showcase pages and personal profiles are not supported.
Verify integration status.
- In Settings > Integrations, LinkedIn should now show as “Connected.”
- If you see “Manage” instead of “Connect,” you are already integrated.

Screenshot suggestion: Show Settings > Integrations with LinkedIn connected.

2. Create a Job in PyjamaHR

Navigate to the Jobs section and click “Create Job.”
Fill in all required fields:
- Job Title, Department, Location (country/city), Job Description, Salary, etc.
- Tip: Optimize your job description for LinkedIn (see Best Practices below).
Save the job.

3. Publish the Job to LinkedIn

On the job card, click the three dots (“...”) and select “Publish.”
In the Publish window, ensure LinkedIn is selected.
- LinkedIn is selected by default but can be toggled on/off.
Click “Publish.”
- The job status will update to “Under Review” by LinkedIn.
Note: LinkedIn reviews every job before publishing. This can take up to 48 hours for new integrations, but is often faster for subsequent jobs.

Screenshot suggestion: Show the Publish dialog with LinkedIn selected.

4. Confirm Job is Live on LinkedIn

Check status in PyjamaHR:
“Published” means LinkedIn has approved and posted the job.
“Under Review” means LinkedIn is still reviewing.
“Error” or “Unable to Publish” means there’s an issue (see Troubleshooting).
View on LinkedIn:
Click the three dots on the job card > “Publish” > LinkedIn section > “View Job.”
Alternatively, visit your company’s LinkedIn page > Jobs tab.

5. Manage Applications

All LinkedIn applicants will appear in the job’s Applied pipeline in PyjamaHR.
You do not need LinkedIn Recruiter or paid job slots for standard posting (see exceptions for staffing agencies below).

Advanced Usage & Best Practices

Power User Tips

Republish Jobs: If you change your LinkedIn integration (e.g., switch to a new company page), you must republish all jobs for them to appear on the new page.
Job Description Optimization: LinkedIn may flag jobs with poor formatting, missing details, or spammy language. Always include:
Company info, location, clear responsibilities, required skills, and salary.
Avoid duplicate postings or copy-paste from other jobs.
Multiple LinkedIn Pages: PyjamaHR currently supports integration with one LinkedIn company page per account.
Internal-Only Jobs: To create jobs not published to any job board, use the “Publish Internally” option.

Do’s and Don’ts

Do:
- Use a well-established, verified LinkedIn company page.
- Republish jobs after changing LinkedIn integration.
- Monitor job status in PyjamaHR after publishing.
- Regularly update job descriptions to avoid LinkedIn spam filters.

Don’t:
- Attempt to use personal or showcase LinkedIn pages.
- Post duplicate jobs (LinkedIn will block them).
- Use newly created LinkedIn pages (may be restricted).
- Integrate LinkedIn pages you do not own or have permission for (may result in account suspension).
