Workable Job Not Posting to LinkedIn

Share
Ongoing Web Updated November 14, 2026How we research

Quick answer

Workable jobs usually fail on LinkedIn because LinkedIn restricted free postings, the company page needs one-time setup, or the job is marked confidential. Unpublish and republish after fixing the cause.

Most likely fix: Republish the job

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Republish the job

    1. Open the job, go to Find candidates, Free job boards tile, click Unpublish
    2. Wait a couple of minutes, then click Publish
    3. If still not live after a few minutes, contact Workable support
    Did this fix it?

  2. 2. Fix LinkedIn-side restrictions

    1. Have a LinkedIn Company Page admin enable basic job posting and select the approved job source
    2. Review LinkedIn quality job post guidelines if you see "LinkedIn rejected this job"
    3. Remove #LI-DNI from the description if present
    4. Publish the job if it is set to Used Confidentially/Internally
    Did this fix it?

  3. 3. Fix wrong location

    1. Look up the location in Bing Maps and re-enter it with the same wording in Workable
    2. Copy the location format of similar LinkedIn jobs
    3. Ask LinkedIn Support if your account has a rule changing locations
    Did this fix it?

Symptoms

The job shows as not live on LinkedIn, shows "LinkedIn rejected this job", or appears in the wrong location.

Why it happens

  • LinkedIn restricted free postings after abuse reports
  • Company marked invalid: JOB_FIELD_PROCESSOR_COMPANY
  • New Company Page needs a one-time admin setup (from March 2026)
  • Job status is Used Confidentially/Internally so Job Boards is greyed out
  • Description contains #LI-DNI
  • Legacy XML/scraping ingestion in use
