How pricing works for promoted job posts with Hiring Pro
Our pricing model lets you set your own budget, giving you flexibility as your hiring needs change.*
Posting a job for free or choosing to promote it is only available for LinkedIn Hiring Pro. For those hiring at scale, get in touch with a sales consultant to learn more about our contract option, LinkedIn Job Slots.
Promote your job post by setting a budget.
We’ll recommend a value based on the job title, location, and market activity that ensures your job post gets placed in a competitive spot. Whether you choose the self-serve option or our contract option to post your job, you get the final say in your budget.
The higher the budget, the more places your post will be promoted and the more visibility it will get across LinkedIn.
You won’t be charged for:
• Viewing your own job post
• Multiple views from the same person
• Views from people who are not signed in to LinkedIn
Important tip: Keep your job post open for at least 5 days to make sure you get enough qualified applicants before closing it out.
Choose how you want to budget for your job posts.
You can set either a total budget or a daily budget. Your job will be promoted for the duration you set and will automatically pause once you’ve spent your total budget amount.
Daily budget example:
If you set a $10 daily budget and run a job post for 30 days, your total cost will be $300 or less, depending on reach.
Total budget example:
If you set a $300 total budget, your job post will pause once the full $300 has been spent
Important tip: Set a total budget so your role closes once your budget limit is reached.
Understanding pricing model.
For LinkedIn Hiring Pro, the cost of each click comes from an algorithm that determines where your job is located and how many competing, similarly titled posts have been created within that market. The cost of each click (clicks and views are one and the same) is determined by dividing the total spend amount by the number of views the job has received.
If you’re hiring consistently throughout the year, another option may be best for your needs. Contact a product consultant to learn more.
Select billing options for Hiring Pro.
Choose your charges. If you select our self-serve option, your charges will accrue weekly and you can monitor your spend from your account. Your card will be charged within 48 hours of closing your job, 30 days from the day you posted if the job is still active, or as soon as you reach a $500 balance (USD specific). If you choose to sign a long-term contract with LinkedIn, we'll help you set a Jobs budget upfront for your hiring needs and you'll have the choice of a few billing options - up-front, quarterly or monthly.
Only pay for job views from candidates. You won’t be billed for views from LinkedIn employees or the person who posted the job. As a result, you might see a discrepancy in the number of views and the amount charged.
Receive your bill. Your bill will come at the end of your billing cycle via email. You can also view and print receipts from your billing history page.
Hiring occasionally?
Hiring Pro is best if you’re hiring occasionally, or don’t have support from a recruiter.
Hiring consistently?
Recruiter + Hiring Assistant is best if you’re hiring consistently, or have recruiters at your company.
