Job wrapping

-

-
The process of LinkedIn's system automatically scraping or pulling jobs from external job sources (e.g., career sites, job boards, ATS).

Jobs can be posted as free Basic Jobs or wrapped to Job Slots on a Recruiter Dashboard.
Free job posts become less visible in search results over time to give newer job posts the opportunity to be seen by job seekers. When your job post receives a certain number of applications, it'll be paused and removed from search results. If you have shared a direct URL, through LinkedIn or through other channels, your job post will appear closed until you take action to unpause it. To unpause your job, you must promote it.
To ensure a fair and equitable balance between free and paid jobs and reduce job posting abuse, members can post a maximum of 1 free job at a time and a limited number of free jobs in a 30-day window.
