Workable supports LinkedIn country cluster targeting for remote job postings. Instead of targeting a single country, recruiters can select one of LinkedIn's predefined country clusters — regional groupings such as EMEA, APAC, or Latin America — to reach candidates across multiple countries with a single posting. This feature is available for both free and premium LinkedIn postings.
Note: Country cluster targeting is available exclusively for remote jobs. If a job is updated from remote to a non-remote work type, the cluster setting will be automatically removed and the posting will revert to targeting the job's original location(s).
Setting up a country cluster
To apply a country cluster to a remote job posting:
- Go to the job and open the Find candidates tab.
- Locate the LinkedIn tile in the job boards section.
- Select the cog icon on the LinkedIn tile to open the LinkedIn additional settings panel.
- In the Select country cluster dropdown, choose the desired cluster (e.g., EMEA, APAC, European Union, NAMER, Latin America). Use the search option within the dropdown to locate a specific cluster quickly.
- Select Update to apply the cluster setting to the posting.
Once the cluster posting is successfully published, the active cluster name appears directly on the LinkedIn tile in the job board view, giving you an at-a-glance confirmation of the geographic targeting in effect.
Note: The cluster indicator is only shown for published and pending cluster postings. Non-cluster postings and postings in other states display no cluster information.
If no cluster is selected, the posting will continue to target the job's original location(s) as defined in the job details.
A link to LinkedIn's support article listing all countries included in each cluster is available within the settings panel for reference.
Removing a country cluster
To remove a previously selected cluster, open the same LinkedIn additional settings panel (via the cog icon on the LinkedIn tile), clear the cluster selection, and select Update. The posting will revert to targeting the job's original location(s).
Free and premium posting sync
Country cluster settings are kept in sync between free and premium LinkedIn postings for the same job location:
- When a free cluster posting is published, any associated premium posting for the same location will automatically inherit the same cluster setting except for LinkedIn premium postings purchased through Workable.
- When a premium cluster posting is closed or unpublished, any associated free posting for the same location will inherit the cluster setting previously applied to the premium posting.
- You can create a new premium posting while a free cluster posting is already live, without needing to unpublish the free posting first.
