LinkedIn Limited Listings

LinkedIn Limited Listings is an integration between Top Echelon and LinkedIn that allows employers and recruiters to connect their open Jobs in TE Recruit with their LinkedIn Company Page. Use of this integration is free, but LinkedIn may require a paid subscription and/or sponsorship of Jobs in order to advertise them to job seekers.

Enabling LinkedIn Limited Listings

To connect your jobs to your LinkedIn Company Page, you must add your LinkedIn Company Profile ID on the Manage Job Posting page.

  • Locate and copy your LinkedIn Company ID.  Where do I find my LinkedIn Company ID?
  • Expand the Sidebar in the top right corner of the software and click on the Settings icon
  • Click to expand the Addons & Integrations section and then select Manage Job Posting

  • Paste your LinkedIn Company ID into the corresponding field in the LinkedIn Limited Listings section, then click Save

  • Moving forward, any user on your account that has the proper permissions will be able to add a Job to LinkedIn Limited Listings

Note: When Jobs are added to LinkedIn Limited Listings, their visibility to job seekers on LinkedIn depends on a number of factors, all of which are governed exclusively by LinkedIn. We have included some information below, but for most questions about job visibility and advertising on LinkedIn, contact your LinkedIn rep, or click here to contact a LinkedIn Talent Consultant.

Job Visibility Factors

LinkedIn considers a number of factors to determine whether your jobs will be visible on their site. For the best and most up-to-date information, contact your LinkedIn rep, or visit their Help Center. All information in this section is correct as of this writing (July 2024), but is based on LinkedIn policies that are outside of Top Echelon's control, and subject to change at any time.

Top Echelon's Role

As the applicant tracking system (ATS) provider, Top Echelon uses the LinkedIn Limited Listings integration to send your Jobs to LinkedIn, and provides LinkedIn the necessary information to link those Jobs with your LinkedIn Company Page, all at no cost to our customers.

Top Echelon does NOT determine: whether your Jobs will be visible on LinkedIn, or whether your company meets the definition of a "search and staffing company" (further explained below).

All concerns regarding job visibility and the nature of your recruiting business must be addressed to LinkedIn directly.

LinkedIn's Job Visibility Rules - Updated August 2024

Beginning August 2024, LinkedIn has an updated policy regarding the visibility of Jobs posted by "search and staffing companies" when those Jobs are ingested from a 3rd party source, like an ATS. This includes Jobs that LinkedIn receives from Top Echelon via Limited Listings. Per LinkedIn: "Search and staffing companies are companies that help other companies find and hire employees".

Previously, any Company using LinkedIn Limited Listings would receive some degree of free/organic visibility of Jobs they posted to LinkedIn. Going forward, "search and staffing companies" may no longer receive that free visibility for Limited Listings, and may be required to pay LinkedIn to sponsor those jobs, to make them visible to jobseekers on the site.

However, "search and staffing companies" may still leverage the Limited Listings integration to drive applicants directly into pipelines in Top Echelon, when your LinkedIn subscription allows and any required sponsorship is in place for those Jobs. Find more information on sponsoring your Jobs on LinkedIn, below.

Top Echelon's understanding is that free/organic job visibility for companies hiring their own internal employees remains unchanged.

Basic Jobs/Free Visibility

LinkedIn defines a "Basic Job" as follows:

Basic Jobs are jobs that are ingested from applicant tracking systems (ATS), third-party job boards and/or companies’ career pages. These jobs may also be referred to as Limited Listings.

For customers who have implemented Job Wrapping, any jobs not placed into a Job Slot appear as Basic Jobs on LinkedIn.

More on Job Slots and Job Wrapping in the next section.

As explained above, "search and staffing companies" may no longer be eligible to use Basic Jobs / Limited Listings to get free visibility of those Jobs on LinkedIn.

However, companies doing their own hiring/recruiting should still be eligible for some amount of free visibility.

If you believe your company is eligible for free visibility via Limited Listings / Basic Jobs, simply enable LinkedIn Limited Listings as described above, and LinkedIn should connect your Jobs in Top Echelon with your Company Profile page. This connection process may take some time (24-48 hours). If you have an existing LinkedIn rep, it may be helpful to let them know when you have taken this step.

If you do not see your Jobs on the LinkedIn Company Page after 24-48 hours, or you believe your company has been incorrectly identified as a "search and staffing company", contact LinkedIn Support. To get the best assistance, make sure to specify that you are using the LinkedIn Limited Listings Integration with Top Echelon, your ATS provider.

LinkedIn Recruiter: Job Slots & Job Wrapping

For "search and staffing companies", or any Company looking for improved visibility and placement of Jobs on LinkedIn, a subscription to LinkedIn Recruiter or Talent Hub and purchase of Job Slots may be required.

Once you have an appropriate subscription, and have purchased Job Slots, you may be eligible for Job Wrapping. Your LinkedIn rep will be able to use your LinkedIn Limited Listings jobs from Top Echelon's feed as the "wrapping" source. Further instructions from LinkedIn for setting up Job Wrapping are here.

Once Job Wrapping is set up, you'll be able to manage your Top Echelon jobs' placement into your available Job Slots directly within your LinkedIn account
