The cost-per-click will fluctuate based on the market and activity for similar jobs on that day.

LinkedIn determines the cost of each click using an algorithm that looks at the job location and the number of competing and similarly titled job posts created in that market. How LinkedIn Calculates the Cost-Per-Click The daily budget refreshes each day and if the 150% limit is reached, promotions of the job post will resume the following day. In other words, it will be searchable and found by applicants in general searches, but it will not be actively marketed to relevant candidates. Once your daily budget is reached, LinkedIn removes the job post from active marketing and if it’s your only listing it will be visible as if it were a free job post. The higher your daily budget, the more users will see your job post. Because promoted job posts have a targeted and broader reach, the job is seen by the most relevant and qualified candidates. The job post will continue to accept applications until the maximum budget is reached, at which time the campaign will pause.Īccording to LinkedIn, promoted job posts get three times more qualified candidates than free job posts. If one day comes in over the daily budget, subsequent daily budgets will be adjusted over the 30-day period. But don’t fret-LinkedIn doesn’t charge more than 50% of your daily budget in one day and it won’t charge more than your total budget.įor instance, if you set a 30-day campaign with a daily budget of $10, you won’t be charged more than $15 in one day or more than $300 in 30 days. While employers set a daily budget for the job post, the exact price for the day is based on the number of clicks or views the post gets. The cost of a promoted job post is determined on a pay-per-click basis. If you want to get more traffic to your job post, or you want to post more than one job at a time, you can pay for a promoted job post on LinkedIn. Free job posts are displayed in search results, but over time they will slip down in search results.

If you have several job openings at the same time, you’ll need to pay. Employers can post job openings for free on LinkedIn, but it is important to note that you can only have one free job post open at a time.
