I just played with this a bit, and it appears the interface has changed
(and LinkedIn has cleverly left a nonfunctional link on a page where the
only other way to post a job is to pay a fee). On the main page for the
group, use the "Start a discussion" box, and then in the "Discussion type"
area, click "Job". If that doesn't work, it means the group owner has
disabled job discussions.
