BrightMove and LinkedIn have partnership which allows customers to post their jobs to LinkedIn as Basic Jobs using the LinkedIn Job Posting API.
In this article, you will learn about automatic job postings to LinkedIn. In order to publish jobs to LinkedIn, you will need to properly set your company's unique LinkedIn ID within the configuration settings for the ATS. Once this ID is set, jobs will be automatically included in LinkedIn's Basic Job Feed and published to LinkedIn every 6 hours.
Note: Customers with the RPO module will need to ensure they configure the LinkedIn company ID as child company preference. In order to properly assign jobs to the company's LinkedIn page, the configuration should be made as a child company preference.
Jobs from Search and Staffing companies will only be visible on LinkedIn with promotion. See this article on troubleshooting if your jobs are not visible.
