How to post a job with Hiring Pro
Post a job on LinkedIn with Hiring Pro, from setting up the basics to optimizing visibility through promotion
and network sharing.
Get started posting a job with our step-by-step guide:
Sign in and start a job post
Go directly to the post a job on LinkedIn page.
• Click on the “For business” icon in the top navigation.
• Select “Post a job for free” from the drop-down menu.
• This will bring you to Hiring Pro, where you can start your job post.
Enter the job title for the role
As you start typing the job title, Hiring Pro will suggest commonly used job titles to help standardize your post.*
*Choosing a suggested job title helps increase your visibility in job search results, but you can enter your own if the title isn’t listed.
Write your job description
LinkedIn Hiring Pro can help quickly draft a job description tailored to the role you’re hiring for and your unique company insights.*
*This AI-generated job description can be used as is, edited, or rewritten entirely. You are in control of the final output and what job seekers see.
• About your company: A short intro to your employer brand, mission, and culture.
• Role overview: What the position is and why it matters: purpose, team or project, impact.
• Key responsibilities: What the candidate will do daily.
• Must‑have qualifications: Skills, experience, and education required.
• Preferred qualifications: Helpful but not essential traits.
• Optional (but helpful) details: Compensation or salary range, benefits, perks, remote/hybrid policy, legal or equal‑opportunity language.
Review your job settings
Set your job preferences: add screening questions, define rejection criteria, choose where applications go, and decide whether to promote your role.
You can add both templated and customized screening questions opens in a new tab to help filter out unqualified applicants. We recommend adding 3 or more to avoid limiting your options and deterring qualified candidates.
If you’ve marked a question as “Essential,” to pre-screen candidates, you can also have LinkedIn filter out and send a customized rejection notification to applicants who don’t meet your requirements.
Track applications directly on LinkedIn (best for straightforward hiring), or direct them to an external website (dedicated recruiting page).
Let your LinkedIn network know you’re hiring by using the #Hiring photo frame on your profile.
• Increase awareness and visibility of your job post across your network.
• Notify relevant job seekers in your network.
• Add up to 10 job postings to your personal profile.
• Feature your profile in the “Meet the hiring team” section of the job posting.
• Invite others in your team to add the #Hiring frame to their profile and share with their networks.
Promote your job post
Posting for free makes your job searchable and visible to your connections on LinkedIn. But free posts run for a limited time or accept a limited number of applicants, whichever comes first.
When you promote a job post, Hiring Pro starts working like your personal hiring partner to deliver a qualified shortlist of top candidates. Here’s how:
• Hiring Pro pushes your job post higher in search results and recommends it to qualified candidates on and off LinkedIn.
• Hiring Pro sorts through your applicants and surfaces the ones who best match your qualifications so you can spend less time reviewing resumes and more time on your top candidates. And anytime you want to fine-tune what you're looking for, just chat with Hiring Pro in natural language to sharpen your shortlist in your own words.
• Hiring Pro can continuously search for qualified candidates based on your ideal criteria, and invite them to apply so you can discover great talent you may have not found on your own.
• Hiring Pro helps you stand out to top candidates by drafting personalized InMail messages tailored to the job and each candidate's profile so you can contact them about your open role.
• Hiring Pro helps screen your top applicants with an AI interview over audio or video, so you can delegate first-round screening, and dedicate your time to meeting only standout candidates.

When you promote a post, you set a daily or total budget and pay per click so you control exactly how much you spend.
Even if you start with a modest daily budget, promotion unlocks the AI-powered tools that make Hiring Pro more like a recruiting assistant and less like a static job board.
