# How Job Posting Rules Work on Indeed and LinkedIn

# How Job Posting Rules Work on Indeed and LinkedIn

This article explains how job boards process your job listings and what to expect when posting or editing jobs. Different boards have different processing times and requirements.

## Job board processing times

Different job boards have different processing speeds:

| Job Board | New Job Posts | Job Edits |
| ---- | ---- | ---- |
| Indeed | Within 1 hour | Within 1 hour |
| LinkedIn | Up to 24 hours | Up to 24 hours |
| ZipRecruiter | Within a few hours | Within a few hours |
| Glassdoor | Within a few hours | Within a few hours |
| Google Jobs | Up to 24 hours | Up to 24 hours |

## Verification process

### Free trial jobs

Free trial jobs require verification before appearing on job boards:

* **Verification time**: Up to 72 hours
* **Skip the queue**: Subscribe to any paid plan for priority verification
* **Staffing agencies**: May require additional verification

### Paid subscription jobs

Jobs from paid accounts are verified faster and published with priority.

## When jobs go live

After posting a job:

1. **Wait 24 hours** before checking job boards
2. Job appears on your career site immediately
3. Job board distribution happens after verification
4. Free distribution to Indeed, LinkedIn, and other boards included

## Checking if your job is live

To verify your job is visible:

1. Go to Indeed.com and search for your job title - company name
2. Check LinkedIn Jobs with the same search
3. Look for your company page on Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter
4. Use the trackable links in 100Hires to find direct job URLs ![How Job Posting Rules Work on Indeed and LinkedIn: Checking if your job is live](https://100hires.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/other-ways-to-promote-job-clean.png)

## What affects job visibility

The list below is a summary. For the full content rules both boards apply - title, description, location, pay, and what gets a post rejected - see [Job Post Quality Requirements: LinkedIn and Indeed Guidelines](https://help.100hires.com/en/article/job-post-quality-requirements-linkedin-and-indeed-guidelines-1lacutd/).

### Indeed rules
* Jobs must have accurate job title and description
* Location must be specific (city - country minimum)
* Salary range improves visibility
* No duplicate postings allowed

### LinkedIn rules
* Company page should exist on LinkedIn
* Job title should match standard conventions
* Remote jobs need proper location tagging
* Sponsored jobs get higher visibility

## Editing published jobs

### Indeed
* Changes apply within 1 hour
* No re-verification needed for paid accounts

### LinkedIn
* Changes can take up to 24 hours
* Job may temporarily disappear during update

### Free trial jobs
* Editing a verified free trial job sends it back to verification queue
* Avoid edits until you're satisfied with the posting

## Troubleshooting

### Job Not Appearing
* Wait full 24 hours before investigating
* Check job status in 100Hires (should be "Public")
* Verify job has complete location and description
* Contact support if still not visible after 48 hours

### Job Disappeared
* May be under review after an edit
* Check if job was moved to Draft status
* Verify subscription is active
