Publish jobs to LinkedIn via the Job Postings integration

Steps

1. LinkedIn is not accepting new Job Posting API partnerships at this time for general access; contact LinkedIn Business Development or request access to the Apply Connect program to begin the approval process — budget several weeks for evaluation
2. Once approved, LinkedIn provides two integration paths: (1) XML Feed — host a feed of up to 500,000 jobs in LinkedIn's specified XML format and register the feed URL with your LinkedIn partner contact; LinkedIn ingests the feed approximately every 12 hours; (2) Job Posting API — send individual job create/update/close calls via the REST API using your approved OAuth 2.0 access token
3. For the XML feed path, construct each job entry with the required fields: company, title, description, location, externalJobCode, and applyUrl; LinkedIn recommends refreshing the feed every 12 hours to keep job freshness signals current
4. For the API path, authenticate via OAuth 2.0 with your partner credentials; use the job posting endpoints documented at learn.microsoft.com/linkedin/talent/job-postings to create, update, and close individual listings
5. To close or expire a job, send an update setting the job state to CLOSED via the API or remove it from the XML feed; stale open jobs negatively affect relevance ranking
6. Monitor the LinkedIn partner dashboard or API response codes for ingestion errors; LinkedIn validates required fields and will reject postings missing mandatory attributes
