Apply with LinkedIn

If your organization has configured an integration with LinkedIn, candidates can import information from their LinkedIn profile directly into their job applications when they apply for jobs on your client career sites. Candidates can't use their LinkedIn profile information when creating their candidate profile.

Before You Begin: This functionality is only available if the LinkedIn Integration client property is configured for your organization in Recruiting Setup > Client Properties. See Configure the LinkedIn Integration Client Property. Also, the candidate must have the "LinkedIn" functional cookies enabled in their cookie preferences for the client career site.

The Apply with LinkedIn button is available when candidates click Apply to apply for a job. They are asked to sign into LinkedIn if they aren't signed in already. On the authorization screen, they're asked to allow sharing between their LinkedIn profile and the client career site.

The candidate's education and employment history is parsed from their LinkedIn profile, and the data is copied to the Employment History and Education History sections of their job application. They can edit this information before submitting their job application.

Note: A job application might not be configured to include the Employment History and Education History sections. In this case, Recruiting still parses and stores this data from the candidate’s LinkedIn profile. However, it isn’t shown to the candidate for review.
