Publishing Jobs Manually to LinkedIn

This article contains directions for syncing (manually publishing) Bullhorn jobs directly to LinkedIn via the LinkedIn Apply Connect integration.

 

  • You can only publish one job at a time.

  • LinkedIn will only accept one published job per Bullhorn ATS job ID.

  • Web responses will become visible within the respective job.

  • Once a job in Bullhorn is closed or is no longer published (isPublic is false), the integration automatically closes the job in LinkedIn.

  • To promote a job on LinkedIn, add a recruiter hashtag in the Published Job Description field in Bullhorn. This tells LinkedIn to move the job from the basic listings feed into your LinkedIn Promoted Jobs slots.
