Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free. No account needed, no limits on how many times you use it. Your data stays in your browser and we don't collect or store anything you paste.

What makes a LinkedIn hiring post different from a job listing?

A hiring post is an organic feed post written in your own voice. It reaches your network (and their connections) at no cost. A job listing goes through LinkedIn's Jobs platform, it has a formal application flow and can be paid to reach more candidates. Posts from personal profiles get 74% more reach than company page posts (751 vs. 431 median impressions), based on AuthoredUp's analysis of 143,000+ hiring posts.

Why does compensation transparency matter in hiring posts?

Posts that include salary or compensation details remove the biggest reason candidates hesitate to apply. When people see the range upfront, they self-qualify — you get fewer unmatched applications and more serious candidates. It also signals that your company values transparency, which matters to the exact people you want to hire.

How long should a LinkedIn hiring post be?

The sweet spot is 100 to 200 words. You can go up to 300, but engagement drops after that. Short enough to read in the feed without expanding, detailed enough to answer the questions candidates actually have: what's the role, what do they get, and how do they apply.

Should I post hiring announcements from my personal profile or company page?

Personal profile. The data is clear: personal profiles reach 74% more people than company pages for hiring posts. People engage with people. Post from your own account, mention the company name, and tag 2-3 team members. If your team members reshare with a personal note, each share reaches a new network segment.

How often should I repost the same hiring announcement?

Repost 7–10 days later with a different angle, such as a team member's perspective, a project detail, or an application update. Each angle reaches a different slice of your network without feeling repetitive.
