Using LinkedIn's Job Wrapping feature, you can seamlessly post jobs from Leadline directly to your company's LinkedIn Recruiter account. When job-seekers click 'Apply' on those jobs in LinkedIn, they are re-directed to your Leadline-powered application experience.
⚠️ Heads-up ⚠️ Job Wrapping is only available to LinkedIn customers with a LinkedIn Recruiter account. Job Wrapping is not available to customers only using the 'Jobs' or 'Recruiter Lite' products.

Frequently Asked Questions
"How does the LinkedIn Recruiter Job Feed work?"
A job feed hosts all your active jobs, like a 'source of truth'. Every so often, LinkedIn will 'crawl' the feed to pull the latest job data into LinkedIn.
Every few hours, Leadline writes updates to this file based on your team's usage of Leadline. In parallel, every few hours LinkedIn 'crawls' this file. This is how Leadline communicates new jobs or updates to existing jobs to LinkedIn.
In Leadline, you can see when these 'sync' activities happen by clicking on 'View activity log' option (the same place you found your XML Feed URL).
"How long until my job posting in Leadline shows up on my LinkedIn page?"
LinkedIn syncs job data from Leadline every 6 hours (4x per day). This is a limitation imposed by LinkedIn on all Applicant Tracking Systems partners, including Leadline. Please allow up to 12 hours before the listing displays on LinkedIn.
"What if I use LinkedIn's sponsored job listings - can I continue to use those?"
Yes, Leadline does not replace your existing contract relationship with LinkedIn. Jobs synced from Leadline > LinkedIn are available in your LinkedIn Recruiter dashboard if you would like to add some budget to those jobs/campaigns.
"Can I control which jobs are posted to LinkedIn?"
Yes, you can select which jobs from Leadline are sent to LinkedIn using the Configure Jobs action. Within your LinkedIn Recruiter dashboard, you can control which of the jobs synced from Leadline get budget put behind them for sponsored job postings.
