Posting to LinkedIn
The ai.r LinkedIn integration allows you to automatically post jobs straight to LinkedIn directly from within ai.r. In order to do this, you will need a LinkedIn Recruiter license which can be purchased from LinkedIn.
Integrating ai.r with LinkedIn Recruiter
If you have a LinkedIn Recruiter license you can integrate ai.r directly with LinkedIn.
Firstly, go to Settings > Integrations and click LinkedIn.
You need to enter you Company ID, a number which is located on the right hand side of your LinkedIn Recruiter home page. It is under your company name and is shown next to ID:.
Your Contact ID is provided by ai.r. Please contact us at [email protected] to get your ID.
We integrate using an XML feed, it’s a website that lists your job information that LinkedIn scan and use to generate new jobs within your LinkedIn Recruiter account. You can find your unique XML URL under job source, click the overlapping squares to copy it.

LinkedIn rules when publishing a job
LinkedIn have mandatory rules that must be followed to publish a job through the integration.
If these rules aren’t followed then your job will not appear on your jobs page
Mandatory fields
When creating the job you must set the following:
● Job Title
● Job Description
● Location
Location rules
LinkedIn has very specific rules for office locations.
- US locations – City, State (for example, “San Francisco, CA”)
- Non-US locations – City, Country (for example, “London, United Kingdom”)
LinkedIn automatically maps this to a country and postal code unless those fields are provided.
Separate jobs need to be created for jobs with multiple work locations.
Remote Jobs require only a country or country cluster location.
LinkedIn have additional specific rules for what is included within the location depending on the workplace type. Below are the minimum location requirements for the workplace types:
- On-site City and Country
- Hybrid City and Country
- Remote State, Country or Country Cluster
