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.

If you don’t have a LinkedIn Recruiter license, you can still post jobs to LinkedIn and redirect candidates directly to your ai.r application page on your job board. To do this, go to LinkedIn and start the process of creating a job.
On the first page, input information about the job title, your company, the workplace type, job location and job type. Click “Get started for free”.
copy the link to the job from the job section and paste it into the URL input box on LinkedIn when setting up a job.
Next add your job description (it must have at least 200 characters) and add any skills you would like to flag. Click Next.
Next you need to get the careers page URL for you job. To do this:
- Go to ai.r
- Click the job title of the job you want to publish prepare your job for publishing
- Publish it
- Go to the Job Description Tab
- Copy the job URL
Go back to LinkedIn, make sure you’re on page 2 of 2: Receive qualified applicants, click the drop down menu for “Receive applicants” and change it to “At an external website”.
In the Website address input box, paste the URL for your job.
Click Continue and finish publishing the job.
When applicants click your job they will be shown the Apply now button which will redirect them to apply on your careers page. These candidate applications will be collected within ai.r.

Location rules
LinkedIn has very specific rules for office locations.

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:
