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.

  • LinkedIn Apply Connect web responses appear on the job record in Bullhorn once received.

  • If a job in Bullhorn is closed or set to not published (isPublic = false), the integration automatically closes the job on LinkedIn.

Publishing a Job to LinkedIn

Follow these steps to publish a job from Bullhorn ATS to LinkedIn:

  1. On the job record, from the Select an Action drop-down, select Publish.

  2. On the left-hand side of the Publish screen, select LinkedIn.

  3. Complete the required fields. There is a Copy Details from Bullhorn Job option that copies information into the form.

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

  4. Click Publish.

    • You receive immediate notification that the job has been sent to LinkedIn.

    • LinkedIn does not immediately post jobs — jobs enter a listed state first. To check the current status, go back to the job record and select Actions > LinkedIn Job Status.
