How to Embed LinkedIn Job Posts in SharePoint Online
Question details
The user wants to display specific LinkedIn job postings or a job feed directly on a SharePoint Online page.
- Product
- SharePoint Online
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Customizing a SharePoint intranet site to display recruitment or career opportunities from LinkedIn.
- Observed behavior
- SharePoint Online lacks a native, dedicated web part for embedding individual LinkedIn job posts or customized job feeds.
Ensure you have Site Owner or Site Member permissions to edit pages and add or configure web parts in your SharePoint Online site.
Use the Native Embed Web Part for the Main Jobs Page
While individual posts are not natively supported, you can try embedding the main LinkedIn company jobs page using the standard Embed web part.
SharePoint's native Embed web part allows you to display content from external sites that permit embedding via iframe. Although LinkedIn heavily restricts iframe embedding for individual job posts, pasting the link to your main corporate LinkedIn Jobs page may work depending on your organization's LinkedIn configuration.
Navigate to the SharePoint page where you want to display the jobs, click 'Edit' in the top right corner of the page.
Hover your mouse over the canvas to reveal the '+' icon, click it, and search for 'Embed'. Select the Embed web part to add it to your page section.
In the property pane on the right, paste the URL of your company's main LinkedIn Jobs page. If the site allows embedding, a preview will appear.
Click 'Republish' or 'Save as draft' at the top right to save your changes.
Deploy a Third-Party LinkedIn Widget
To reliably display specific job feeds or individual job postings, you must use a third-party integration from the SharePoint Store.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I embed a specific individual LinkedIn job posting natively in SharePoint?
Currently, SharePoint Online does not offer a native web part designed to embed individual LinkedIn job postings. You can only attempt to embed standard URLs via the Embed web part, which LinkedIn often blocks, or use a third-party app.
Why does the native Embed web part show an error when pasting a LinkedIn URL?
LinkedIn employs strict security policies that prevent its pages from being displayed inside an iframe on external websites. This is why the standard SharePoint Embed web part often fails with LinkedIn content.
Are third-party web parts safe to use on my SharePoint site?
Third-party web parts can be safe, but you must thoroughly review them for security, privacy, compatibility, and licensing requirements before deployment. Always consult your IT administrator before installing third-party tools.
Where can I request Microsoft to add a native LinkedIn Jobs web part?
You can submit your feature requests through the official Microsoft SharePoint Feedback Portal. Microsoft product teams regularly review this portal to prioritize future updates based on community demand.
