Overview
Dover can post your job directly to LinkedIn through our LinkedIn integration. Through our special partnership with LinkedIn, you can select a $500/month subscription for $200/month. If you already have a LinkedIn job posting, you can link your existing posting to Dover so that applicants will appear in the Dover ATS.
Due to LinkedIn's terms of service, Dover is unable to post jobs on behalf of talent or staffing agencies. You can read more about LinkedIn's terms of service here.
Creating a new LinkedIn posting through Dover
As of March 3, 2025, in order to mitigate fraudulent activity, LinkedIn has paused ingesting jobs from new companies via third party sources (including Applicant Tracking Systems like Dover) unless:
The company already had live job postings on LinkedIn; or
The company has a Job Slot contract with LinkedIn.
If you have questions, please reach out to LinkedIn Support directly via their Help Center. You can also email [email protected] with any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do existing LinkedIn applications automatically transfer to Dover?
No, only applications submitted after connecting your LinkedIn posting to Dover will appear in the Dover ATS.
Where can I find my LinkedIn posting?
Once published, your job posting will appear on your company's LinkedIn page and in LinkedIn's job search results within 24 hours. Make sure that you have provided your LinkedIn Company ID in Settings & Members > Company Settings > General. Learn more here.
Can I post without a Company LinkedIn page?
No, a Company LinkedIn page is required to post jobs through Dover's LinkedIn integration. If you do not have a Company LinkedIn page, the job posting will fail.
Why can't I find my job posting after 24 hours?
If your posting isn't visible after 24 hours, verify that:
The posting was successfully activated in Dover
You've selected the correct location settings
You have added the correct LinkedIn Company ID
You do not have an existing LinkedIn posting with the same job title.
Your company page meets LinkedIn's requirements (see above)
You have met LinkedIn job posting guidelines (see above)
You are not a recruiting or staffing agency (see above)
Please note that LinkedIn has blocked the 1-click integration postings for new ATS customers and some existing Dover customers if their jobs do not meet certain quality standards and comply with their Jobs Policies and Job Listing Guidelines. When LinkedIn finds content that doesn’t comply with these policies, they may remove it and block companies from posting.
Why are there more applicants on LinkedIn than in Dover?
LinkedIn tracks apply clicks, not application submissions. If the number of applicants on LinkedIn is higher than the number you see in Dover, this likely means that applicants are clicking apply but do not end up submitting their applications. It is normal for there to be a drop-off at the apply stage of the application.
Can I post my job to multiple locations at once?
Currently, LinkedIn posts can only be created for one location at a time. If you have multiple locations listed in Dover, LinkedIn will choose one of those locations. If you want to create job postings for multiple locations, separate job postings are required.
