Setting up your account to stream roles to LinkedIn

How does it work?

When you share a role to Reach, we can also share it to LinkedIn without any additional cost. Our partnership means that your role will appear on your Company page, and receive extra promotion compared to a post you could create yourself - so it is well worth doing. You do need to have a page for your organisation on LinkedIn, and to opt in through Reach. You can opt in when you join Reach, when you share an opportunity, or by editing your profile through your dashboard - there are instructions on how to do that at the bottom of this page.

If you don’t have a LinkedIn page, creating one doesn’t take long and will ensure your role is seen by thousands more volunteers. Read LinkedIn’s guidance for non-profits on how to set up a page.

Once you have a LinkedIn page, you will have a LinkedIn Company ID. This is a unique number - between 6 and 9 characters long - that identifies your organisation on LinkedIn. We'll need this in order to set things up here.

How do I find my LinkedIn Company ID? 

Your LinkedIn Company ID can be found on the LinkedIn website.

Watch our video below or scroll down for instructions on how to find the ID.

To find your LinkedIn Company ID, following these steps: 

1. Visit: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search
2. Select the ‘Company’ dropdown.

3. Enter your organisation’s name where it says ‘Add a company’.
4. Select your organisation in the list and click ‘Show X results’ at the bottom of the list.

5. On the next page, your LinkedIn Company ID will be in the page’s web address (URL). Scan along to the characters C=. Your LinkedIn Company ID is the long number after these characters. For example: if your URL is: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?currentJobId=3677903736&f_C=673806... then your LinkedIn Company ID is 673806.

How do I add my LinkedIn Company ID to my organisation so my roles can be streamed? 

1. Login to Reach.
2. From your dashboard, click ‘Edit profile' on the top right hand menu.
3. Click the ‘Your organisation's location' tab.
4. Under ‘Your LinkedIn details’, select 'Yes, please stream my roles to LinkedIn' and add your LinkedIn Company ID in the box.
5. Scroll down and click 'Save' to save your details.
