Adding your LinkedIn Company ID

To get a consistent applicant flow from LinkedIn, add your LinkedIn Company Page ID to your CareerPlug account. If you don't already have one, you'll need to create a LinkedIn Company Page first.

Creating a LinkedIn Company Page

If you already have a LinkedIn Company Page, skip to the next section.

LinkedIn recommends that every employer create a LinkedIn Company Page to improve their jobs' visibility on LinkedIn.

Before creating a new one, it's a good idea to ask whether anyone else at your company has already created a LinkedIn Company Page. You're looking for the unique 6-9 digit ID (see the next section) in the URL of your Company Page.

To create a LinkedIn Company Page:

1. Sign in to LinkedIn.

2. Click the For Business icon in the top-right corner of your LinkedIn homepage, and select Create a Company Page + from the drop-down menu.

3. Choose Company as your page type.

4. On the following page, complete all required(*) fields:

Enter your company Name.
Select your Industry (by starting to enter relevant keywords).
Select your Organization size.
Select your Organization type.

5. Complete any additional fields you'd like. We recommend adding more detail to make your company stand out.

Enter the URL for your company Website.
Upload your company Logo by clicking Choose file and selecting the file from your device.
Enter a Tagline to briefly describe what your company does.

6. Click the checkbox to verify that you're an authorized representative of your company.

7. Click the Create page button at the bottom of the page.

On the next page, you'll see your LinkedIn Company ID in the URL bar — copy it, then skip ahead to adding to the last step.

Finding your LinkedIn Company ID

Your LinkedIn Company ID is a string of numbers, usually 6 to 9 digits long, that is unique to your company. You can see your LinkedIn Company ID when you navigate to your LinkedIn Company page.

You can find your LinkedIn Company ID in the following places:

The Admin dashboard for your Company Page

To reach your admin dashboard:
- Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage, and select Company: [Your Company Name] from the drop-down menu (in the Manage section).
- You can also click your Company Page name/logo on the left side of your LinkedIn homepage.

The search results on your Company Page

To reach the search results on your Company Page:
- From the admin dashboard for your Company Page, click the View as member button.
- On your Company Page, click the link under your company name that lists the number of employees (e.g., "51-200 employees").

Adding your LinkedIn Company ID to your CareerPlug account

After you've copied your LinkedIn Company ID, follow these steps to add it to CareerPlug:

1. Navigate to Company settings (gear icon) > My organization > Company Profile.

2. Scroll down to the Advanced Options section and paste your LinkedIn Company ID into the designated field.

3. Click the Save button at the bottom of the page.

Verifying your visibility settings on LinkedIn

If your account is new or you have never posted a job to LinkedIn before, you may need to update your LinkedIn account settings to allow job posts to display.

1. Sign in to your company's LinkedIn account.

This setting is only available for a Page admin. To access the admin view for a Page, you’ll need to request admin access to the Page first, or have access granted by an existing admin.

2. Navigate to the admin dashboard by clicking the Company Page name/logo on the left side of your LinkedIn homepage.

You can also click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage, and select Company: [Your Company Name] from the drop-down menu (in the Manage section).

3. Click the Settings tab at the bottom of the left sidebar.

4. Click the Job posting tile. This may show up as Page settings for some users.

5. Make sure the Enable basic job posting toggle is turned on and that CareerPlug is listed as a connected ATS.

If the Enable basic job posting toggle is set to off, turn it on.
If CareerPlug is not listed as a connected ATS, click the + Connect ATS button under the toggle, begin typing "CareerPlug" in the pop-up, select it from the drop-down list, and click the Connect button.

If this setting is enabled and you still don't see your jobs after 48 hours, we recommend reaching out to LinkedIn via their Recruit Support.

Include the following information with your support request:

Company name
Job URL or careers page URL
Confirmation that you've followed the steps above to connect your LinkedIn account with your CareerPlug account
A request for LinkedIn to review the information and account, and remove any blockers to make your jobs visible on your account

Note: LinkedIn will only communicate directly with employers. CareerPlug is considered a third-party vendor and cannot communicate with LinkedIn on behalf of you or your account.
