LinkedIn is committed to providing a safe environment for all job seekers. To help ensure that LinkedIn remains safe, trusted, and professional, all jobs posted on LinkedIn must meet certain quality standards and comply with their Job Policies and Job Listing Guidelines. 

As part of LinkedIn’s commitment to maintaining a safe and trusted job platform, LinkedIn has paused ingesting jobs from new companies coming in via ATS integrations. Hence, if you are submitting jobs to LinkedIn for the first time, please contact LinkedIn support via their Help Center or by emailing ltsatsintegrations@linkedin.com to review your request.

LinkedIn Jobs Policies

When LinkedIn finds content that doesn’t comply with their Job policies, they may remove your job posting. You can find below their job policies to help ensure your compliance:

Job posts must be legitimate. Only create postings for bona fide job opportunities with a reasonable and legitimate intent to hire for the specific position listed. Job posts created primarily for user acquisition (e.g., directing job seekers to sign up for an external platform or service), self-promotion, or purpose other than hiring for a genuine job opportunity are not permitted. Each job post must be for one job opportunity; you cannot solicit general applications for roles at a company.

Job posts must be relevant and factual. All job posts must contain truthful, accurate, and complete information about the jobs they promote. Job posts should clearly state the role, title, responsibilities, qualifications, and job type (e.g., full-time, part-time, contract), as well as whether the opportunity is paid or unpaid. The primary location of the role, along with any relocation and travel requirements and/or conditions, should be plainly visible within the post.

Job posts must maintain a high degree of professionalism. Avoid excessive use of internal jargon, offensive slang, capitalization, or emojis. Job posts containing incomplete sentences, egregious typos, and grammatical errors are subject to removal.

Jobs posts and your hiring practices must comply with the law. Do not create job posts, advertise employment positions, or otherwise engage in recruitment or hiring practices that violate the law in your state or country or the state or country where the job is to be performed. Do not engage in solicitations, communications, or transactions that violate any applicable laws or regulations, including regarding legal eligibility to work. Do not create job posts in the United States without possessing valid Federal or State Employer Identification Numbers, if applicable, or create job posts in any other location in a manner that would not allow compliance with applicable tax and employment laws.

LinkedIn prohibits discrimination in job posts based on protected characteristics, including age, gender, gender identity, religion, ethnicity, race, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, and any other basis protected under law. In a jurisdiction where it is legally permissible to do so, LinkedIn may permit language in posts expressing preference for members of certain groups historically disadvantaged in hiring in that location. LinkedIn may also permit that language when it helps customers comply with local legal requirements in hiring.

Job posts must not be fraudulent or deceptive. Do not intentionally misrepresent the job, hiring company, or poster. Do not create job posts that require applicants to pay in order to apply or for employment. Failure to clearly disclose in any posting that a position is for an independent contractor or is part-time, piecework, commission-based, or has otherwise nontraditional working conditions or compensation may constitute intentional misrepresentation.

Do not create postings for “business opportunities” that require payments or recruitment of others or that resemble franchises, multi-level marketing, club memberships, or distributorships.

Do not create postings that contain malware, spyware or any other malicious code or otherwise interfere with the operation of the Jobs Services or any device or system or breach or circumvent any security measure of LinkedIn or a third party.

Do not use a job posting to promote a website that tricks a user into providing personal or other information.

LinkedIn periodically updates their policies, so be sure to check and review them regularly. You can also find them here.
