When a company posts a job on LinkedIn, they’re not just announcing a vacancy—they’re broadcasting intent. The Lix Job Posting Hirers API lets you go a step further by revealing who inside that company is involved in the hiring process.
Whether you’re in recruitment, sales, or B2B partnerships, this endpoint helps you find the real humans behind the job post—so you can connect, pitch, or assist with precision.
What is the LinkedIn Job Posting Hirers Endpoint?
The Job Posting Hirers endpoint retrieves the list of people associated with a LinkedIn job post—those who are either listed as the job poster or involved in the hiring process.
Think of it as a shortcut to finding decision-makers, team leads, or potential hiring managers based on live hiring activity.

How Recruiters Can Use It
Identify Hiring Managers Instantly
Skip the guesswork. See exactly who is associated with a job post and reach out to them directly with relevant candidates or recruiting support.
Source Candidates and Pitch Services
Once you know who’s hiring, you can position your offering – whether it’s talent, a recruitment platform, or hiring analytics – with precision.
Time Outreach Perfectly
If someone is actively hiring today, they’re far more likely to respond to your message. The Job Posting Hirers API lets you act while the intent is hot.
How Sales & Partnerships Teams Can Use It
Trigger-Based Outreach
A company hiring a “Head of RevOps” or “Director of Innovation”? That’s a signal. Use the API to find the relevant person and introduce your product or service right when they need it.
Get Past the Gatekeepers
Knowing exactly who’s hiring helps you reach decision-makers, not just generic inboxes.
Build Warm Intros with Context
“I saw your team is hiring a [Role]. We work with similar orgs to support [solution]—would it make sense to chat?”

- Use the Job Posting Search API to find relevant roles.
