Executive Summary
If your LinkedIn job post created via PyjamaHR is taken down, unpublished, or not visible, you can refresh or republish it directly from the PyjamaHR platform. This guide explains why jobs may disappear or remain visible after closure, how to properly republish jobs to LinkedIn, and how to troubleshoot common issues—ensuring your roles are always visible to the right candidates.
Detailed Overview
What Does "Refreshing or Republishing" a LinkedIn Job Mean?
Refreshing or republishing a LinkedIn job in PyjamaHR refers to the process of making a job post live again on LinkedIn after it has been:
- Closed or unpublished in PyjamaHR
- Taken down by LinkedIn (due to policy, quality, or integration issues)
- Not visible due to integration changes or account issues
This is a critical workflow for recruiters who rely on LinkedIn for candidate sourcing, especially after:
- Accidentally closing a job
- Changing the LinkedIn company page integration
- Experiencing LinkedIn policy flags (e.g., staffing agency restrictions)
- LinkedIn removing a job due to low-quality descriptions or duplicate postings
Business Impact:
Ensuring your jobs are correctly published and visible on LinkedIn maximizes candidate reach, maintains your employer brand, and prevents lost time or missed applicants due to technical or policy issues.
Step-by-Step Guide: Refreshing or Republishing LinkedIn Jobs
Prerequisites
You must have an active PyjamaHR account with LinkedIn integration set up.
Your LinkedIn company page must be correctly connected (not a Showcase page; must match your business identity).
The job must exist in PyjamaHR (either as open, closed, or expired).
1. Check LinkedIn Integration Status
Go to Settings > Integrations > LinkedIn in PyjamaHR.
Ensure the correct LinkedIn company page is connected (see common mistakes).
If you recently changed your LinkedIn page, wait 10–15 minutes after integration before republishing jobs.
Screenshot: Show the Integrations page with LinkedIn status.
2. Identify the Job to Republish
Navigate to Jobs in PyjamaHR.
Locate the job you want to refresh (status may be "Closed", "Expired", or "Unpublished").
If the job is missing, check if it was deleted or if you’re viewing the correct account.
3. Reopen or Duplicate the Job (if needed)
If the job is Closed or Expired:
Click the three dots (
...) next to the job.Select Reopen or Duplicate (if reopening does not work, duplicating creates a new job post).
Update any outdated information (job description, salary, etc.).
Screenshot: Show the job actions menu with "Reopen" and "Duplicate" options.
4. Republish the Job to LinkedIn
Open the job details page.
Click Publish or Republish.
In the job board selection, ensure LinkedIn is checked.
Confirm and submit.
Note: If LinkedIn is not available as an option, check your integration and job board limits.
5. Wait for LinkedIn Review
LinkedIn may take up to 48 hours to review and publish the job.
Status will show as "Under Review" in PyjamaHR until LinkedIn approves.
If the job remains "Under Review" for more than 48 hours, see Troubleshooting.
6. Verify Job Visibility on LinkedIn
After approval, visit your LinkedIn company page’s Jobs section.
Confirm the job is visible and has the "Easy Apply" option (if enabled).
If not visible, see Troubleshooting.
7. (If Integration Changed) Republish All Jobs
If you changed your LinkedIn integration (e.g., switched company pages), you must republish all jobs for them to appear on the new LinkedIn page.
Repeat steps 2–6 for each job.
Advanced Usage & Best Practices
Power User Tips
Bulk Republish: If you have many jobs, use PyjamaHR’s bulk actions to select and republish multiple jobs at once.
Optimize Job Descriptions: Ensure your job descriptions are detailed and meet LinkedIn’s quality standards to avoid takedown.
Avoid Duplicate Jobs: LinkedIn will not publish duplicate jobs. Close or remove old/duplicate posts before republishing.
Monitor Integration Health: Regularly check your LinkedIn integration status, especially after account or brand changes.
Do’s and Don’ts
Do:
- Always republish jobs after changing LinkedIn integration.
- Use the official company page (not Showcase or personal profiles).
- Update job details before republishing to improve approval chances.
Don’t:
- Don’t attempt to integrate newly created or mismatched LinkedIn pages (must match your business identity).
- Don’t include "hiring for clients" or staffing language if you are not a staffing agency—LinkedIn may flag your account.
- Don’t expect instant visibility; allow up to 48 hours for LinkedIn review.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
Common Scenarios and Solutions
1. Job Closed in PyjamaHR but Still Visible on LinkedIn
Wait up to 24 hours for LinkedIn to sync.
If still visible, it may have been posted directly on LinkedIn or via another ATS. Only jobs posted via PyjamaHR can be managed from PyjamaHR.
If the job lacks "Easy Apply," it was not posted via PyjamaHR.
2. Job Not Visible After Republishing
Check LinkedIn integration status.
Ensure job description meets LinkedIn’s quality standards.
Wait 48 hours for LinkedIn review.
If still not visible, duplicate the job and republish.
3. Job Stuck in "Under Review"
Wait 48 hours.
If still under review, contact PyjamaHR support with the job ID.
4. LinkedIn Integration Issues
Ensure you’re using a company page, not a Showcase or personal profile.
The LinkedIn page must match your business name/domain.
If flagged as a staffing agency, see LinkedIn’s policy.
5. Account Flagged as Staffing Agency
LinkedIn restricts free job postings for staffing/recruitment agencies.
If you are not a staffing agency, contact LinkedIn support to appeal.
Workarounds: Use a different company page not flagged as staffing, or update your LinkedIn profile/industry.
6. Changed LinkedIn Page, Jobs Not Visible
After changing integration, you must republish all jobs for them to appear on the new LinkedIn page.

LinkedIn does not allow duplicate jobs. Close the duplicate on LinkedIn, then republish from PyjamaHR.
