When posting a job on LinkedIn, you need to choose a Location so candidates know where the role is based and how they can work. Here’s how to pick the right option:
1. Select the Workplace Type
- On-site → Employees work fully in an office or physical location.
- Hybrid → Employees split time between the office and remote work.
- Remote → Employees work off-site, from anywhere.
2. Add a Valid Location
- All job posts require a location.
- Depending on workplace type:
- On-site or Hybrid → In ATS Locations, you need to have Country and City data to successfully push the job to LinkedIn
- Remote → You can enter a city, state, country, or country cluster (e.g., “European Union” or “Latin America”).
3. Use Country Clusters (Remote Roles Only)
- For jobs open to multiple countries, LinkedIn offers country clusters (predefined regions, such as MENA, DACH, Nordics, or APAC).
- Country clusters make it easy to target broad regions without listing each country separately.
- Example: If the job is open to any EU country, select the European Union cluster instead of adding 27 countries.
- Please see the LinkedIn article to learn more about the country clusters
4. Formatting Tips
- Always enter the location in English (e.g., “Switzerland” instead of “Schweiz”).
- Make sure the location reflects where you’re legally able to hire and employ candidates.
✅ Quick Example
- Posting an office-based role in Berlin → Choose On-site + Location: “Berlin, Germany.”
- Posting a hybrid role in New York → Choose Hybrid + Location: “New York, United States.”
Posting a remote role open across Europe → Choose Remote + Location: “European Union (country cluster).”
