Reach the right candidates where they already are

LinkedIn is one of the world’s most powerful professional networks, with millions of active professionals browsing, networking, and exploring new opportunities every day.

With LinkedIn P4P (Pay for Performance) in Teamtailor Promote, you can sponsor your jobs directly through LinkedIn’s advertising platform — fully integrated into your ATS.

This means greater visibility, smarter distribution, and optimized performance — all managed from one place.



Why advertise on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is especially powerful for:

  • Qualified professionals

  • Specialists and white-collar roles

  • Management and senior positions

  • Hard-to-fill or competitive roles

  • Employer branding within specific industries

Your job will appear:

  • In LinkedIn feeds

  • In relevant job searches

  • In recommended jobs for relevant candidates

This increases both visibility and application quality.



Why use LinkedIn P4P via Teamtailor instead of going directly to LinkedIn?

You can advertise on LinkedIn directly, but activating LinkedIn P4P through Teamtailor gives you important advantages.

When you use Promote:

  • Everything is handled inside your ATS

  • No separate LinkedIn ad account setup required

  • No switching between systems

  • No separate invoicing processes

  • No manual tracking between LinkedIn and your ATS

Your jobs, campaigns, and candidates stay connected in one workflow.

Compared to older LinkedIn formats such as Online Jobs or Job Slots:

  • P4P campaigns are optimized continuously

  • Budget is automatically distributed based on performance

  • Delivery adjusts dynamically instead of being static

  • You don’t need to manually manage visibility

In short:

You combine LinkedIn’s advertising power with the structure and simplicity of Teamtailor.

Less admin. Better performance. Clear overview.




Ad formatting & positioning best practices

To ensure strong delivery and optimal performance, it’s important that your job ad follows LinkedIn’s recommended formatting guidelines.

LinkedIn uses your job title, location, and description to determine relevance and positioning in the feed and job recommendations. Clear structure, professional language, and a well-defined role help the algorithm understand who should see your job.

For best results:

  • Use a clear, searchable job title (avoid internal titles or creative variations)

  • Be specific about location (city > region > remote clarity)

  • Structure your description with clear sections (about the role, requirements, benefits)

  • Avoid excessive formatting, symbols, or all-caps text

  • Keep the introduction concise and compelling

Well-structured ads not only improve algorithmic targeting, they also increase click-through rates and application intent.

In short: clarity drives performance.

How LinkedIn P4P works

P4P stands for Pay for Performance.

This means LinkedIn automatically optimizes your campaign delivery based on performance signals. The system continuously adjusts distribution to generate the best possible results within your selected budget.

Important to know:

  • You choose a fixed package

  • You pay a fixed price upfront

  • LinkedIn optimizes delivery automatically during the campaign period

  • There is no variable invoicing after the campaign

In short:

You make a fixed investment, LinkedIn works to maximize performance within that budget.
