How it looks in the feed
Most people only see the lines above “…more”, so say you’re hiring and name the role there.
The short answer
How do you write a good hiring post on LinkedIn?
Say you’re hiring and name the role and company in the first line. Then give the pay range, the location and work setup, one or two lines on the work and the must-have skills, and one clear way to apply. Keep it to 50–250 words in short lines, so it reads well on a phone.
- Paste your draftOr start from one of the four example posts in the tool.
- Fix what’s missingEach check explains what it found. Click Add to drop in a fill-in line, then type over the highlighted part.
- Check the preview and copyMake sure the role shows before “…more”, then copy the post into LinkedIn.
The seven checks
What should a LinkedIn hiring post include?
A hiring post should answer the four questions every candidate asks: what is the job, what does it pay, where is it, and how do I apply. The audit also checks that the post explains the work, is easy to scan and stays a sensible length.
| Check | Points | What full marks looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Role and employer | 15 | “We’re hiring a Product Designer at Fieldwork Studio.” |
| Pay | 15 | A figure or range, such as “$70,000–$85,000 + equity”. “Competitive” doesn’t count. |
| Location and work model | 15 | A place and a setup: “Austin, TX, on-site” or “Remote within EU time zones”. |
| How to apply | 15 | An action and a destination: “Apply here: [link]” or “Email your CV to [address]”. |
| What the job involves | 15 | One line on the work and one on the must-have skills or experience. |
| Easy to scan | 10 | The hiring news in the opening line, with terms on their own short lines. |
| Length and clarity | 15 | 25–300 words, no sentence over 35 words, and under LinkedIn’s 3,000-character limit. |

Read the number correctly
What does the hiring post score mean?
The score adds up seven fixed checks, out of 100. It tells you whether the post answers what candidates need to know, not how many people will apply. 85 or more means the essentials are covered, 60 to 84 means one or two details are missing, and under 60 means candidates will have to ask.
The audit can’t confirm that the salary, link or role is accurate, and it doesn’t judge whether the job itself is attractive. Read the post once as a candidate before you publish.
FAQ
LinkedIn hiring post questions
How do you write a good hiring post on LinkedIn?
Say you’re hiring and name the role and company in the first line. Then give the pay range, the location and work setup, one or two lines on the work and the must-have skills, and a single clear way to apply. Keep it to 50–250 words in short lines.
How do I post “We’re hiring” on LinkedIn?
Click Start a post on your homepage, open More and choose Share that you’re hiring. Pick the organisation, create or select the job, edit the text and post. You can also write a normal post and link to the job page.
Should a LinkedIn hiring post include salary?
Yes, whenever you can. A range such as $70,000–$85,000 lets candidates decide quickly. Words like competitive or negotiable don’t tell them anything, so the audit counts them as missing a figure.
Is the score a prediction of applications?
No. It measures whether the post answers the questions candidates ask. It can’t predict reach or how many people will apply.
Does this check legal compliance or biased language?
No. It checks completeness and readability. Ask your recruiting or legal team to review wording and local pay-transparency rules.
Is my draft uploaded to Pineable?
No. The post is checked in your browser. Pineable never receives, saves or publishes it.
