Job Posting - Developer FAQs

Please reference Job Posting documentation

• If a customer is using Job Wrapping and Premium Job Posting API, there could be a risk that these jobs are duplicated.
• Between Basic and promoted jobs, our system prioritizes jobs that are promoted.
• It is recommended that customer uses either API or XML Feed based jobs to avoid duplication

You can RENEW only an open job. If the Job is CLOSED, a new request for the job needs to be sent with jobPostingOperationType: CREATE

This is dependent on the HTML tags being provided. To know what HTML tags are supported please refer to these API documentation

Please refer to the following help center article

In some cases, we may require certain types of jobs to be promoted on LinkedIn. Jobs that require promotion may include jobs by companies with generic names (such as “Confidential Company”) or jobs from search and staffing companies. These limits are designed to prevent abuse, improve product quality, and increase transparency while ensuring that job seekers have access to the best possible opportunities. Please note that LinkedIn reserves the right to require promotion of jobs.

It depends on the integration.

• For the partners who have integrated with LinkedIn's Apply Connect program, the promoted jobs posted via /simpleJobPosting API will close out existing scraped and wrapped jobs
• For the remaining partners, whichever job was posted first will stay up. If a job is posted via Job Wrapping first, the Simple Job Posting (SJP) job does not post if it has the same unique partner identifier. In such cases, the task status response outlines the following error message:
  • "Trying to create a job with the same partnerIdentifier already exists! Dropping the duplicate job posting creation request. JobId: 123456789, partnerIdentifier: {partner=urn:li:jobPostingPartner:{id}, partnerJobCode=Test123456}."

No, if you have used your job slots you will receive an error message indicating that there are none remaining. You are unable to replace to backfill jobs

Answer: We do not have a utility tool or an API that can help validate a location match. However, refer to the Help Article for few guidelines to ensure improved accuracy for location matching.

Yes, they are supported by all types of PJP contracts, and each multiplexed job takes up an additional slot for job slots. For FP4P, customer will need to set separate budgets for each job.

For jobs with alternateLocations, we will mirror career site experience and provide application back to original jobpostingID. If customer is trying to tie applicants to specific cities, customer should include a question in application flow to capture preferred location.

There should not be a performance difference.
