The LinkedIn integration connects Nextal’s job publishing workflow to LinkedIn’s job board. Jobs you publish from the ATS and target to LinkedIn are syndicated there automatically. This is where you control whether the integration is enabled, your LinkedIn Company ID, and how your multilingual jobs appear on LinkedIn: through a posting mode and language-by-location rules.
What it does
- Syndicates your active jobs to LinkedIn when they are targeted to that board.
- Supports multilingual job postings in two modes: Merged (one LinkedIn posting per job, all languages combined) or Split by language (a separate LinkedIn posting per language).
- Lets you define Language by location rules that decide, per province or country, which language(s) each job appears in on LinkedIn.
How to configure
- Go to Administration → Integrations and find the LinkedIn card.
- Click Edit to open the configuration panel. The panel opens on the Enable LinkedIn Integration checkbox, followed by the LinkedIn Company ID field, then the posting mode and rules.
- Make sure the Enable LinkedIn Integration checkbox is checked.
- Enter your LinkedIn Company ID (digits only). It is the number that appears in the URL of your LinkedIn Page’s admin view: in
https://www.linkedin.com/company/12345678/admin/, the ID is12345678. See LinkedIn’s help to find this number. - Choose the Job posting mode that matches how you handle multilingual jobs:
- Merged — one LinkedIn posting per job, all languages combined.
- Split by language — one LinkedIn posting per language (recommended for multilingual accounts).
- Optionally, define Language by location rules (see below).
- Click Save.
Connect the feed to LinkedIn
Nextal exposes your jobs to LinkedIn as a job feed that the LinkedIn team activates on their side. Once the Company ID is saved, send the following address to your LinkedIn contact:
https://nextal.co/linkedin/v2/<domain>where <domain> is your account’s Nextal domain, i.e. the subdomain of your career portal (for example acme for acme.nextal.co).
This feed follows LinkedIn’s standard job feed format. It contains:
- the published jobs targeted to LinkedIn (or to all sites) whose address includes a city, a province and a country;
- the title, the description and the apply link to your career portal;
- the salary, structured by period (hourly or yearly), only when the job displays its salary;
- the job type, when it can be determined.
If your account is already connected to LinkedIn through an older address, that address keeps working; there is nothing to change.
Language by location
Below the Job posting mode, you can define Language by location rules that determine which language(s) each job is posted in on LinkedIn, based on the job’s province or country. This section is always shown, whether or not the integration is enabled.
These rules work independently of the posting mode: they decide which languages are allowed for a job, while the posting mode (Merged or Split by language) decides how those languages are emitted.
Key behaviors to keep in mind:
- Rules are evaluated top to bottom, and the first rule that matches wins. Order matters; reorder rules with the up/down arrows.
- A job that matches no rule is posted in all supported languages (the default behavior).
- A job with no content in an allowed language is not posted to LinkedIn. For example, if a rule only allows French but the job has only an English description, it is not sent.
- Recognized locations are Canada (provinces and territories) and the USA. An unrecognized province or country matches no rule that requires it — the job then falls back to the default behavior.
For a step-by-step guide with a concrete Quebec example and the impact on what actually gets published, see LinkedIn — Language by location.
Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable LinkedIn Integration | Master switch (checked by default for existing accounts). When unchecked, LinkedIn is no longer offered as a publishing site and your account’s LinkedIn job feed is empty. |
| LinkedIn Company ID | The numeric identifier of your LinkedIn company page (digits only). It appears in the URL of your page’s admin view: linkedin.com/company/<id>/admin/. Required for the LinkedIn job feed — without it, the feed contains no jobs. |
| Job posting mode | Controls how multilingual jobs are sent: Merged (one LinkedIn posting per job) or Split by language (one LinkedIn posting per language). |
| Language by location | An ordered list of rules that restricts the posting languages based on the job’s province or country. First match wins; no match → all supported languages. See LinkedIn — Language by location. |
Tips
- Enter the LinkedIn Company ID before asking LinkedIn to activate the feed. Without it, the feed is empty and LinkedIn cannot validate the connection.
- Use “Merged” if your jobs are already bilingual. If your job descriptions include both English and French in a single record, merged mode avoids duplicate listings on LinkedIn.
- Use “Split by language” for separate-language markets. If your team creates distinct English and French versions of each posting, split mode gives each its own LinkedIn posting — improving keyword targeting per language.
- LinkedIn’s language rules are independent of Indeed’s. Configuring LinkedIn does not change the Indeed configuration, and vice versa.
- Sending to LinkedIn still depends on site selection. A job must also be targeted to LinkedIn when it is published — see Job publishing and syndication.
