Plan & Pricing
Job Posts (LinkedIn Hiring Pro / Job Posts) — Usage-based Pricing model: Pay-as-you-go (promoted jobs are charged based on clicks/views; dynamic CPC-like algorithm) Free tier/trial: Free job posts available (see notes). Free trial for promoted jobs is offered to eligible new job posters. How billing works / notes: You can set a daily average budget or a total budget; LinkedIn will recommend an amount based on title, location and market activity. Charges accrue weekly for self-serve; card charged within 48 hours of closing your job, 30 days from posting if still active, or earlier if you reach a $500 account limit (USD-specific). Example: $10 daily budget for 30 days = $300 (LinkedIn example). Promoted posts only charge for candidate views/clicks; cost per click is determined by total spend divided by number of views. Minimum / example costs: No fixed published minimum — costs are dynamic and determined by market/demand and your chosen budget. (LinkedIn provides example budgets but does not publish a fixed per-click floor.)
Recruiter Lite (subscription) Pricing model: Per-seat subscription (monthly or annual billing).

Other notes (official):
- Free job posts: LinkedIn allows posting a free job (LinkedIn states "one free job at a time" and provides limits on duration/visibility).
- Free trial for promoted jobs: LinkedIn Help documents a free trial for promoted jobs for eligible new job posters (duration is job- and location-dependent; you are notified before trial ends).
- Many hiring products (job slots, corporate Recruiter) are sold via contract; LinkedIn asks buyers to contact sales for pricing.
