If your job posted via PyjamaHR is not appearing on LinkedIn, you’re not alone—this is one of the most common and urgent issues faced by recruiters and HR teams. This guide provides a comprehensive, step-by-step troubleshooting checklist to help you quickly identify the cause, resolve the issue, and ensure your jobs are published and visible to candidates on LinkedIn. It covers recent LinkedIn policy changes, PyjamaHR workflows, common mistakes, and actionable solutions based on hundreds of real customer scenarios.

PyjamaHR offers seamless job publishing to LinkedIn directly from your ATS dashboard, allowing you to reach a large pool of candidates with minimal manual effort. However, due to LinkedIn’s evolving policies, technical reviews, and integration requirements, jobs may sometimes fail to appear or remain “under review” for extended periods. Understanding the end-to-end workflow, recent changes, and troubleshooting steps is critical to maximizing your candidate reach and minimizing downtime.

Key Benefits:
- One-click job publishing to LinkedIn from PyjamaHR
- Automated status tracking and error notifications
- Centralized candidate management and application tracking

When to Use This Guide:
- Your job status in PyjamaHR says “Published” but it’s not visible on LinkedIn
- The job is stuck “Under Review” for more than 48 hours
- You receive error messages like “Unable to publish job to LinkedIn. Please contact support.”
- LinkedIn shows “This job is no longer visible” or similar warnings

Steps:
1. Go to Settings > Integrations in PyjamaHR.

Customer Example:

“My job has been under review for more than 48 hours. Why?”
— Multiple customers

Recent LinkedIn Policy Update (2024):
- LinkedIn now restricts free job postings from staffing and recruiting agencies.
- If your company is flagged as a staffing/recruiting agency, jobs may not be published unless you purchase paid job slots or use LinkedIn Recruiter.

How to Check:
- If you see errors like “This job is no longer visible on LinkedIn” or “Your company has been flagged,” your account may be affected.
- Review LinkedIn’s policy: LinkedIn Staffing Agency Policy

Workarounds:
- Integrate a different LinkedIn company page that is not flagged as a staffing agency (if available).
- Add a client’s LinkedIn page (with permission) during job creation.
- Avoid using phrases like “We’re hiring for our clients” in job descriptions.

Customer Example:

“We are a staffing agency and none of our jobs are appearing on LinkedIn anymore.”
— Multiple customers

Common Triggers for LinkedIn Rejection:
- External links in the job description (e.g., company websites, application forms)
- Incomplete or poorly formatted job descriptions
- Duplicate job postings (same title, location, and description)
- Mentioning “hiring for clients” or similar phrases

Best Practices:
- Remove all external links from the JD.
- Use clear, detailed, and original job descriptions.
- Avoid duplicating jobs with identical content.

Customer Example:

“I noticed you’ve included a link to Sugar’s website in the job description. Kindly remove any external links from the JD to ensure the job can be published.”
— PyjamaHR Support

How to Fix:
- Close duplicate jobs on LinkedIn.
- Republish the new job from PyjamaHR.

Q1: How long does it take for a job to appear on LinkedIn after publishing from PyjamaHR?
A: Typically 24–48 hours, but can take up to 72 hours due to LinkedIn’s review process.

Q2: Why is my job stuck “Under Review” for more than 48 hours?
A: LinkedIn may be reviewing your company, the job description, or your account is flagged as a staffing agency.

Q3: What does “Unable to publish job to LinkedIn. Please contact support” mean?
A: This usually indicates a problem with the job description (e.g., external links), a duplicate job, or a LinkedIn integration issue.

Q4: Can staffing/recruiting agencies still post jobs on LinkedIn via PyjamaHR?
A: Only if you have paid job slots or LinkedIn Recruiter. Free postings are restricted for flagged accounts.

Q5: How do I know if my LinkedIn account is flagged as a staffing agency?
A: If jobs are not appearing and you see policy-related errors, your account may be flagged. Check LinkedIn’s policy or contact their support.

Q6: Can I use a personal LinkedIn profile or Showcase page for integration?
A: No, only LinkedIn Company Pages are supported for job publishing.

Q7: What should I do if my job is a duplicate?
A: Close the previous job on LinkedIn, edit the new job to make it unique, and republish.

Q8: Why are my jobs not getting any applicants?
A: The job may not be live, your account may be flagged, or the JD may need optimization.

Q9: Can I integrate a client’s LinkedIn page to post jobs?
A: Yes, with the client’s permission, you can add their LinkedIn page during job creation.

Q10: What if my LinkedIn company page is new?
A: LinkedIn may delay publishing jobs from new pages. Ensure your page is fully set up and credible.

Q11: How do I check if my job is live on LinkedIn?
A: Go to your LinkedIn company page > Jobs tab, or use the “View Job” link in PyjamaHR if available.

Q12: What if I see “Job is only visible to employees” on LinkedIn?
A: This may be due to privacy settings or account flagging. Check your company page settings and contact LinkedIn if needed.
