My old job has been posted and shared on LinkedIN by a manger I really respect.

I would still be at this company if this manager had remained my direct supervisor. I gave required notice, but it still seems like they need help, so I want to share the post in a way that doesn't make me sound arrogant or, worse, like I'm longing for my old job back. Does anyone have any suggestions on how or IF I should reshare the job posting?

I reshare job postings from old employers with a kind word about the good aspects of my time there. I may even tag the hiring manager and say they were excellent if that was my experience.
I think it’s a kind thing to do for the employer and an excellent thing to do for my network.
I really enjoy helping people in this way.

Yep, this is what I'd suggest as well!

I would personally not bother sharing - especially because I assume you do not recommend the manager that this person would be reporting to (since it sounds like that's part of why you quit). But it's really a personal choice.

It’s not your problem so why would you take on that responsibility? What if they already found someone? If HR did not give u direct permission to repost you should not there could be legal ramifications.

If it's posted publicly on LinkedIn and the OP just shares a post I can't imagine what legal trouble they could get in.

You’re right I misread and thought she planned to post on behalf of a company she no longer works for. She should still move on. Unless she knows someone specific that she thinks is a good fit it is possible that the employer wanted to restrict how the announcement is disseminated to try and get quality candidates

No why would you? Chances are the manager posting won’t be their manager and if the current manager is in fact still there, why would you do that?

Just share it and say it's a great hiring manager and job. You don't need to say anything about it being your old job or anything like that.

You left the company, and want to say what a great place it is? I would leave that one alone.
