We explain the cause of the problem when changes in Dualoo are not displayed correctly in the LinkedIn post.

We will show you a possible solution to the problem.

Problem description

If you post a job on LinkedIn via Publish, LinkedIn will retrieve the information in Dualoo at that moment. The problem is that LinkedIn retrieves this information only once, so subsequent changes in Dualoo are not updated on LinkedIn. This means that there is a cache problem on the LinkedIn side, which we can handle with a turnaround.

For a better understanding you will find two concrete examples here:

  • Adjustment of the workload or job title

    Although the workload of the job in Dualoo has been adjusted from the original 80-100% to 60-80%, the original values are still listed in the advert on LinkedIn.



  • Adjustment of the status of a job (Open / Closed) If the "status" of a job is changed from "closed" back to "open" and the job ad is to be shared again in the LinkedIn feed, the status is not updated. This means that although the job is set back to open in Dualoo, LinkedIn will show that the job posting has expired:


Instruction Solution

As a solution, the link can be changed in the background. We add a URL parameter, this does not change the link in general, but LinkedIn recognises the new link and reloads the information, thus updating the information. Proceed as follows:

1. In the "job overview" - under "Publish" the LinkedIn link "Share again":

2. Click on the prepared false job advertisement in LinkedIn

3. Add a URL parameter at the end of the URL using a question mark and, for example, the text v2 for variant 2.

Example URL parameter: ?v2

4. Click on Enter. The page is reloaded and the link is updated.

5. Then you can post the post in the LinkedIn feed and only have to wait for the online applications. The applicants will be correctly assigned to the LinkedIn source.
