After jobs have successfully posted on LinkedIn a jobs' status can change at a later time. Some examples are jobs converting from an on-site to off-site application flow, jobs being reported by members resulting in that job being closed. With those changes partners do not have visibility into these changes as they happen, and have no way to retrieve the current status of a job posting on LinkedIn. This limitation also prevents ATS partners from having a way to display accurate job status information to customers in their UI.
With the Job Posting Status API partners will be able to retrieve up-to-date statuses of their customer posted jobs.
Optionally, we've introduced a Job Status Change Notifications API. This allows partners to be notified by LinkedIn in near real-time of up-to-date statuses of their customer posted jobs.
Requirements
Periodically check the status of customer synced jobs at regular intervals to ensure your application has up-to-date job posting statuses.
Display, at minimum jobPostingUrl, listingStatus, linkedInApplyStatus, promotionStatus on all job postings synced to LinkedIn.
Ensure your LinkedIn API requests comply with the following size requirements below. If your request exceeds the size requirements your request will receive a 414 response.
