LinkedIn offers businesses the ability to access the largest professional network in the world via job posts that are easily searchable. These job postings give businesses the ability to cast a very wide net, but not all jobs are a good fit for the platform. LinkedIn’s users tend to lean towards professionals and “white-collar” types of workers more than anything else.

The platform offers industry-leading profile tools for both job seekers and businesses. You can add multimedia to your profile, giving the normal résumé a bit of 21st-century flair. Searching through applicants is a breeze, and many search functions are available for free whether you post a job or not.

LinkedIn offers you the ability to post one free job at a time. When posting a job, you’ll get a recommendation on promoting your job post for either a daily or total budget amount. Within that offer, you’ll see how many expected job applicants you will receive if you keep the job posting free compared to what you are expected to get if you promote the job. Keep in mind that the free job applicant predictions can be very low.
