LinkedIn has always been a great source of applicants, and it's now easier than ever to link Pinpoint to your company LinkedIn job list so your live vacancies are always visible.

We have divided this guide into 2 main sections:

Step 1: Navigate to the Integrations menu under the Settings heading in Pinpoint's left hand navigation bar.

Step 2: You'll be taken to the Integrations page. At the top of that page, select the Apps button to view all the integrations currently available to you in Pinpoint. Search for, or scroll down to the LinkedIn integration, and press the Add button.

Step 3: Click on Add Company.

Step 4: A form will appear asking you for a Name and Company ID. Enter the company name exactly as it appears in LinkedIn into the Name field. Enter your LinkedIn Company ID number into the Company ID field.

Once you have entered in both the Name and Company ID., click 'Save'.

Step 5: Click on the toggle that says 'Disabled' once, this will change to 'Enabled'.

Step 6: You're now all set with the basic set up needed to make free job postings from Pinpoint on LinkedIn. Follow the steps in How can I post a organic (free) job on LinkedIn from Pinpoint? to learn how to publish your first free (organic) posting on LinkedIn from Pinpoint.

Step 1: Go to Integrations > My Apps > LinkedIn.

Step 2: Your LinkedIn integration screen will be shown. Click on 'Connect Contract'

Step 3: Click on Sign in.

Step 4: Sign in to your LinkedIn Recruiter account.

Step 5: Select the appropriate LinkedIn Recruiter contract for your organisation by clicking Continue.

Step 6: Select a default job poster by typing in their name into the Job Poster field, selecting them from the drop down list and clicking 'Save'. This is a LinkedIn user who will be shown as the job poster in LinkedIn by default for your organisation.

Step 7: If successful, you'll see a screen which looks like this, where you can review your Premium Job Posting settings.

Step 8: You can now click on Back to integration, and you'll see that Premium job postings are now enabled. You have completed the Premium job posting set up!

Step 1: Either click on Jobs > New Job if you want to create a new Job, or click on Manage Jobs > select the Job you want to manage > Click Edit > Click Edit Job if you want to edit an existing Job's postings.

Step 2: Scroll down to the Organic postings section of the new/edit Job page, this will look like this:

Step 3: Click the toggle next to LinkedIn once so it shows as 'On'.

Step 4: Select the LinkedIn Company that this job will be associated with. Most organisations using Pinpoint will only link one LinkedIn company, so choose the one company shown in this drop-down box.

Step 5: Select the Seniority Level for this Job. This helps LinkedIn display the job with an appropriate Seniority Level. If you don't provide a value for seniority, LinkedIn will try to infer the seniority from the job description which is not always reliable.

Step 6: Once you've configured your posting options, save your changes by either clicking on 'Save Draft' or 'Publish Job'. If you click on Publish Job, your job will post to LinkedIn.
