Dear customers,
The LinkedIn Pay-for-Performance (P4P) is now seamlessly integrated at Softgarden. Currently, you cannot use the P4P model and LinkedIn Job Slots simultaneously. Please note this Integration only applies to “Paid” job ads (booked and paid via the Softgarden ATS), posting to LinkedIn for “Free” is not affected by the steps listed here.
How does it work?
Post a Pay-for-Performance (P4P) job advertisement from Softgarden to LinkedIn directly using the integrated API.
Choose a budget tier for P4P postings that fits your needs (Low, Medium, or High). For questions and consultations regarding budget tiers, please speak directly with the responsible media team. The team will be happy to assist you.
The billing for P4P ads is completely handled through Softgarden.
