How long do job postings usually stay up?

I've seen "permanent" and "indefinite" postings for months.

Is there a time frame? And is it the same at all companies? It would be nice if job boards had an indicator to see if a posting will stay up permanently or not. Asking this because I'm new to the area and my wife and I want to look for a new job but don't know what to look for. Thanks.

I'd imagine that they could last pretty much as long as necessary, however companies have differing policies as to how long they hold postings. At one time some had been permanent on their boards for years with no reason given why the ad would be deleted (not so today). For example, at my former employer (but still am working there) they are on the website until it's superseded by newer ads. The permanent ones are just an easier read since the board gets updated more frequently. Even in recent ads at other companies, the positions may be filled and the board is merely holding place while it awaits new ads. (The new policy is that the hiring manager determines which is permanent)

They don't really state for how long they are up, they don't know. They do know that they have a certain number of posts that is being made each month, and then when the number of posts in the month reaches the threshold it expires, and they don't update it until it does reach that level again. So it might be up a month, that doesn't mean its going to be up that month again. I think there are more than a few permanent posts there still up, or if they didn't sell the site, probably about a half dozen in total. If they sold it to someone else, then who knows?

Do job listings expire on LinkedIn?

Answer: It's not uncommon for companies to close a job listing after they have received sufficient responses. That said, LinkedIn has no mechanism for closing a job listing, so if you haven't heard back from potential employers about a job listing within a specified amount of time, you might want to contact that employer directly. If your LinkedIn profile is set to public view and you want to share your open job listings, it's best to set up a company page for each job listing and then invite others to view and apply for those jobs. You might also consider using other job-listing sites to post job openings in your field. Ask the Community.

Does LinkedIn automatically repost jobs after 30 days?

I have a client that is looking for a recruiter.

She has a job she is interested in and is getting recruiters to contact her, but they are not getting a response from her. I checked on LinkedIn and she has a profile on there. It seems like she is doing everything right. Is LinkedIn just not sending the messages to her?
Could be that you need to contact the candidate's manager/supervisor to let them know the recruiter you've hired is working on their behalf. When recruiters send messages to candidates on LinkedIn it is sometimes difficult to know which candidate you are actually trying to contact. Also, candidates do have to make their profiles public and so they are visible to all of their connections.

I would ask your client to go to her LinkedIn profile and look at her "People you may know" section. If she does not see any names of people she knows or would want to connect with, then it is possible that nobody knows she exists. This means that her profile is not visible to the people who are able to send messages to her.

It is also possible that LinkedIn will send a message directly to your client if she clicks on the link to her profile from a job advert.

How long do posts stay on LinkedIn?

When I'm working on a new LinkedIn post I like to test the post out on a personal profile where I can get feedback on whether the post has legs, particularly whether it has the potential for viral distribution.

If a post is too long or too generic it won't get people to comment and share. And if the subject matter of the post is not relevant to their professional network, people won't be inclined to click to look at the post. And most importantly of all, I don't want to write a post without knowing that it is going to spread! The test post will sit on my personal profile for a week, by which time I'll have learned more about what sort of response I can expect to receive. At the end of the week I'll decide if I'm happy with the response, and then I will add it to a different profile where I can make it public.

I've posted four times this week on LinkedIn - once on my work account, and three times on my personal account. These posts are on some of themes I've covered in my articles over the past six months, and they follow in the order that I posted them: ? The post on my personal account attracted 6 comments and had 3 shares. For the post on my work account, the comments were 4, the shares 5, the likes were 15. So they are relatively comparable across all counts. Both sites are also relatively evenly distributed geographically.

For the first time, one of these posts has made me cringe a little bit (just a bit) in terms of how much time I've wasted on it. But I didn't notice until the final draft was up. I actually only noticed last Friday when I decided to start publishing the post on both accounts as a public preview. The headline was Anchor yourself to get the most shares. It didn't really capture theme I was hoping to convey so I spent some time tinkering with the headlines. And then it was too late to change the headline! The post still didn't contain any links to external resources so people who were interested would have to click through to find what they needed.
