Normally when you deactivate the LinkedIn integration in Dover, the post will automatically be taken down in under 12 hours. Once the post has been taken down, it will no longer accept applications. After some time, the URL will no longer be valid and will not show the job posting information, however, LinkedIn does not disclose how long this will take. This is a limitation on LinkedIn's end and, if you'd like to escalate this further, you would need to reach out to them directly.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What if I already have applications in LinkedIn from my previous posting? Do those automatically get pulled into Dover?

No. Unfortunately, your existing applications would not be pulled into Dover. If you have set up your Inbound ATS Integration with Lever or Greenhouse in Dover and those applicants enter the interview process, they will be synced to Dover. You can also manually add applicants using the +Add Candidate feature. Please note that manually added candidates will appear as Candidates in Dover. Under Advanced, you can filter for Manually Added candidates.

❓ Where can I find my LinkedIn posting?

Once you have added a LinkedIn posting to your job, your LinkedIn posting will appear on your Company's LinkedIn page. Go to your company page on LinkedIn and go to the Jobs tab. You will see your jobs listed there. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours for a new job posting to appear on LinkedIn.

❓ I do not have a Company LinkedIn page. Can I still use Dover to create a LinkedIn post?

No. In order to post a job on LinkedIn, you must have a Company LinkedIn page. You can easily create a Company LinkedIn page. Once you have created a Company LinkedIn page, please add the url to your Company Settings in Dover here. Then Dover can post your job on LinkedIn.

If you do not have a Company LinkedIn page, the job posting will fail, and the LinkedIn job board will be deactivated in Dover.

❓ It's been 24 hours since I added my LinkedIn posting through Dover. Why can't I find my job posting?

If you do not see your job posted on LinkedIn, please follow the steps below:

Confirm that you do not see the posting on your Company's LinkedIn page.
Check your Company Settings in Dover here to make sure that you provided Dover with the correct url.
Make sure that you do not have an existing LinkedIn posting with the same job title. LinkedIn only allows one job posting per company with the same name. In order for Dover to post your job, please remove your existing job post.

If you have completed these steps and still do not see your job posting, please reach out to our Support team using the Chat or via email at [email protected]

It can take 24 to 48 hours for your LinkedIn posting to go live through Dover's LinkedIn integration. If you do not see your posting live on Linkedin after 24 to 48 hours (Monday - Friday), reach out to [email protected]

❓ There are more applicants cited on LinkedIn than in Dover. Why is that?

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 to 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.

Only one of my listed locations is on my LinkedIn posting. Can my job be posted for multiple locations?

LinkedIn only attaches one location per job posting.

The best practice is to list one general or preferred location on your job in Dover, then provide additional location details in the job description.
