Easy Apply Application Cap (effective July 2025)
Since July 2025, each free job posted through Apply Connect will be limited to a certain number of Easy Apply applications on LinkedIn. Once the cap is reached, applicants will be directed to the company's career site to apply, while the job remains posted on LinkedIn.
To retain unlimited Easy Apply applications, simply promote your jobs. Promoted listings receive 3x more qualified applicants compared to free postings and stand out with higher visibility in search results and recommendations.
