Quick Answer

Add social media links in the "Social Media" section of your job listing. Jobs can link to 6 platforms: LinkedIn (Company Page), Facebook, X (Twitter), YouTube, Instagram, and Yelp. These help candidates research your company before applying.


Overview

Social media links help job seekers learn about your company culture, see what it's like to work there, and verify your organization's legitimacy. Candidates often research employers on social media before applying—making this section valuable for attracting qualified applicants.

  • Partial completion OK: Only add platforms where you have an active presence

  • Visibility toggle: You can hide social media without deleting URLs


FAQs

Should I use the same social links across all our job postings? Yes. Your company's social media presence is consistent regardless of which job you're posting. Use the same company URLs across all job listings.

Why do Jobs use LinkedIn Company URL instead of Profile URL? Candidates want to research the employer, not an individual recruiter. The Company Page shows company information, employee count, and organizational details.

What if our company doesn't have a LinkedIn Company Page? Create one—it's free and essential for recruiting. Until then, you can leave the field empty.

Can I add the hiring manager's LinkedIn? The Social Media section is for company accounts. If you want to highlight a hiring manager, mention them in the job description and include their LinkedIn there.
