Post a job to LinkedIn Jobs
There are two options for posting jobs on LinkedIn Jobs:
Option 1. Automatically post jobs from Mingle to LinkedIn
If you have at least one paid job slot on LinkedIn, you can automatically post jobs from Mingle directly to LinkedIn, without adding them individually. In addition, you can publish an unlimited number of free jobsregardless of how many paid slots you have.
Option 2. Post jobs individually on LinkedIn
If you don't have a paid job slot, you cannot use the first option. Instead, you can create jobs separately on LinkedIn Jobs and connect them to Mingle so you receive applicants in your database.
