FAQ - Job boards

Updated this week

How long does it take to see updates in the job description on a published job posting?

Tellent Recruitee will automatically send updates via an XML feed to all the free job boards you selected in the Promote tab. Please note that it can take approximately 24 hours for these changes to be reflected in the published job posting.


Why is my job not showing on the job board?

1. Free job boards tend to allow for jobs to be present for approximately one month. Even before that, your job may begin to slowly lose traffic. In that case, you may wish to repost your job to the job boards in order to ensure visibility and gain more candidates.

2. If the job has been recently published through Tellent Recruitee but is not appearing on the job board after 2 business days, it's likely been rejected by the job board due to not meeting their posting requirements.
Please review the job posting guidlines and update your job description, if necessary. If the job is still not posted after 48 hours since you've made the update, please contact the job board's support team for further guidance.

3. When multiple locations are created for your job, separate job listings will be sent to most job boards for each location. If the job boards are available in specific countries (e.g. ArbeitNow for Germany), only job postings that passed the validation are sent.


Why are my jobs posted on premium job boards even though I didn't opt to promote them there?

Your job postings may have been scraped by a job board and promoted automatically. These types of postings are not associated with Tellent Recruitee and are generally free but with a lower visibility than premium campaigns.

If you wish to increase your job postings' visibility, we highly recommend creating a job promotion campaign as described in this article.


How does LinkedIn Basic Jobs work?

By selecting this option under the Job Boards tab, it will allow posting your job offer from Recruitee to LinkedIn's free job board, just like Indeed.

You can read more about LinkedIn's Basic Jobs here.

This is a free option. You also have a paid option to start a specialized targeted campaign with LinkedIn as well. However, this is done under the Acquisition section, or by selecting the New Campaign button under "Acquisition campaigns". If you are new to campaigns, you can find out more here.

LinkedIn will prioritize the paid job offers over the free ones.

From LinkedIn:

- "Job Slots have greater visibility across LinkedIn, promoted in job searches and distributed across the platform via targeted recommendations in the LinkedIn feed, Jobs tab, and Notifications."

Essentially, a paid job offer on LinkedIn will have more visibility than a free one.

LinkedIn also has this FAQ section that might help with any additional questions you may have.


Why does LinkedIn show more applicants than the number of candidates I received in Recruitee?

Please note that LinkedIn's applicant count isn't directly tied to the actual number of applicants arriving in your Tellent Recruitee account, so you may occasionally encounter discrepancies.

When a potential candidate clicks on the 'Apply' button on your published job posting on LinkedIn, they are redirected to the application form on your Careers site.

LinkedIn has no way of tracking the actions taken by the candidate once they leave their website, so they are not able to verify if the candidate successfully submitted an application.

Instead, LinkedIn will prompt the candidates for feedback, asking if they applied, which determines the applicant count on the job posting. Not responding to the prompt and navigating away from LinkedIn may result in this number increasing upon return, leading to a discrepancy.
