Why Does the PyjamaHR Logo Show on My LinkedIn Job Posts? How to Display Your Company Logo and Salary Information

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Executive Summary

When sharing job postings from PyjamaHR to LinkedIn (and other job boards), many customers notice that the PyjamaHR logo appears instead of their own company logo. This article explains why this happens, what you can and cannot customize today, and provides actionable steps and best practices to ensure your employer brand is represented as accurately as possible on LinkedIn. We also address salary display and common troubleshooting scenarios.

Detailed Overview

What Happens When You Share a Job from PyjamaHR to LinkedIn?

When you publish or share a job post to LinkedIn using PyjamaHR, the job listing is technically hosted and powered by PyjamaHR. As a result, LinkedIn (and sometimes other platforms like Facebook, Monster, or ZipRecruiter) may display the PyjamaHR logo as the default image or “publisher” logo. This is a common practice among ATS providers to indicate the source of the job posting, but it can cause confusion for candidates who may think PyjamaHR is the hiring company.

Why does this matter?
- Branding: Candidates may be misled about who the actual employer is.
- Trust: Your company’s brand recognition is reduced, potentially impacting application rates.
- Consistency: Other ATS providers may display their logo less prominently, or allow more customization.

Integration with Other PyjamaHR Features

  • Job Distribution: The same logo behavior applies when sharing to Facebook, Monster, ZipRecruiter, and other integrated job boards.

  • Job Status Tracking: You can verify if your job has been published on LinkedIn by searching for your company name and job title directly on LinkedIn.

Business Impact

  • Employer Branding: Your company logo is a key element of your employer brand. Not displaying it can reduce candidate trust and recognition.

  • Candidate Experience: Clear branding helps candidates feel confident about where they are applying.

Advanced Usage & Best Practices

  • Always ensure your company profile and logo are updated in PyjamaHR. This will help when the feature becomes available.

  • In the job description, clearly state your company name and include a brief “About Us” section.

  • Consider adding your company logo as an image in the job description (where supported).

  • Salary Transparency:

  • Always fill out the salary field in PyjamaHR for each job. This increases candidate trust and can improve application rates.

  • Monitor Your Listings:

  • Regularly search for your jobs on LinkedIn and other boards to verify how they appear.

  • Feedback Loop:

  • If you notice issues or have suggestions (e.g., logo size, placement), share examples with PyjamaHR support. This feedback is actively being considered for future improvements.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

  • Why? This is the current default behavior for jobs posted via PyjamaHR.

  • Solution: There is no current workaround to display your company logo instead of PyjamaHR’s. This is on the product roadmap.

Issue: Salary Not Displaying on LinkedIn

  • Why? Salary field may not be filled in PyjamaHR, or LinkedIn may have display restrictions.

  • Solution: Double-check the salary field in your PyjamaHR job post. If filled and still not showing, this may be due to LinkedIn’s own policies.

Issue: Job Not Appearing on LinkedIn

  • Why? Possible duplicate posting, job status, or sync delay.

  • Solution: Search for your job by title and company name on LinkedIn. If not found, check for duplicate postings or contact PyjamaHR support with the Job ID.

  • Why? PyjamaHR logo and branding may mislead candidates.

  • Solution: Clearly mention your company name and details in the job title and description.
