The LinkedIn Integration client property controls whether candidates can use their LinkedIn profile to simplify the job application process on your client career sites. When enabled, candidates are given the Apply with LinkedIn option, which allows them to use the information from their LinkedIn profile to populate fields in their job application. Further, when you sign into the LinkedIn Recruiter or Job Slot account used for integration, your organization has access to analytics on candidate interactions (such as apply starters).
Before You Begin: You need a paid LinkedIn Recruiter or Job Slot account. Please ensure that you have such an account before attempting to configure this integration. For more information about acquiring a Recruiter or Job Slot account, see https://business.linkedin.com/talent-solutions/contact-us-c.
Important: The functionality described in this section isn’t supported in the Safari web browser. When configuring the integration with LinkedIn, you should access Dayforce using an alternate browser. You might also experience issues when using the Microsoft Edge browser. As a workaround, you can use an alternate browser or you can go to the Settings > Proxy, search, and services tab for the Microsoft Edge browser, select Basic in the Tracking Prevention section, and then clear your cookies and cache.
According to LinkedIn's requirements, only one LinkedIn Recruiter or Job Slot account can be used for this integration. This means that if you have additional recruiters in your organization, they won't be able to access the analytics provided by the integration while signed into their own LinkedIn accounts. Only the account used for integration will have access.
Select either the Enable this feature or Disable this feature radio button to set the property value to “True” or “False.”
By default, this client property is set to “False”, and the feature isn’t enabled. If you choose to enable the property, additional configuration is required.
To enable the feature and configure the integration with LinkedIn:
- Go to Recruiting Setup > Client Properties.
- Select the LinkedIn Integration client property, and then click Enable this feature. Dayforce displays the Integration Context field and a LinkedIn configuration screen below the list of client properties:
-
- If you are already signed into a LinkedIn account in your browser, Dayforce checks that the account has Recruiter or Job Slot access before displaying the LinkedIn configuration screen. If your account doesn't have this access, Dayforce displays an error message indicating that you don’t have permission to access the page. You must sign out of the LinkedIn account without access before continuing the configuration.
- Note: If you can't see this screen and are using either the Microsoft Edge or Firefox browsers, you might need to do the following: For Edge, turn off tracking prevention for Dayforce. For Firefox, disable the enhanced tracking protection feature for Dayforce.
- Click Sign in or Join now on the LinkedIn configuration screen. The application opens the LinkedIn sign in screen or account registration form in a separate browser window.
- Sign in or create an account. Once logged in, Dayforce displays LinkedIn’s Request an Integration screen:
-
- Important: The account that you’re using must have Job Slot or Recruiter access to LinkedIn; if this access isn’t enabled, the integration will fail.
- In the Apply with LinkedIn section of the screen, click Request. An integration context code is generated by LinkedIn and then automatically populated in the Integration Context field. This integration context code is read-only.
- Click Save.
