Connecting your existing job board contracts is fast and easy if you have the right information. The instructions below walk you through connecting a LinkedIn job slot posting contract to your MyContracts options.
The MyContracts setup process is similar for most job boards and the required fields will vary depending on the job board you choose to set up. Once you select the desired job board from the drop down, the page will automatically display the relevant instructions and required fields.
Connecting your LinkedIn contract requires a multi-step process that includes logging in to the LinkedIn account that is authorized to use the contract’s job slot inventory. The steps below must be followed exactly in order to properly connect your LinkedIn contract.
- You must have a LinkedIn Recruiter Account.
- Go to LinkedIn and log out of that account.
- Begin typing in the search field for MyContracts within the ATS platform to find the job board you wish to set up.
- In this case, search for “LinkedIn” (not Limited Listings) and select it from the drop down.
- Once you select the desired job board, the page will automatically render the instructions and fields that are specific to that job board.
- To begin the setup/initialization process for LinkedIn, click the GREEN “Initialize Authentication” button.
- Clicking this button will take you to a LinkedIn login page.
- Click Sign In and enter your login credentials to log in to LinkedIn.
- Once logged in to LinkedIn, you must select the contract that you intend to connect to MyContracts.
- If you have multiple accounts tied to your login, they will be presented here.
-
Be sure that you choose the correct account.
- After selecting the correct account, you must edit the Job Poster information.
- Click the Edit button to the right of “Job Poster” and under the name.
- It may already show the name correctly - you MUST complete this step.
- After clicking the Edit button, you will need to retype your name and then press Save.
- This will initialize the connection between your LinkedIn posting account and the MyContracts delivery system.
- This will initialize the connection between your LinkedIn posting account and the MyContracts delivery system.
- Now return to the MyContracts setup screen.
- Your LinkedIn Company ID will now appear in the COMPANY ID field. Verify that the Company ID is correct.
- There are various optional fields that you can now use for managing your contract in MyContracts.
- Contract Alias allows you to give your contract a name.
- Contract Expiry allows you to set the date that your contract will expire.
- Purchase Price allows you to display the cost of the posting. This is informative for users, this does not result in a fee being charged.
- How Many Credits allows you to set the amount of posting inventory you have with a job board. MyContracts will track and display inventory in real time.
- This is not reconciled with job boards - if you post a job directly to a job board and not through MyContracts, the credit tracker will not track that.
