Enable LinkedIn Connections

You can allow external candidates to view their LinkedIn connections specific to a company and to interact with their connections by sending them messages to learn more about the company or to get recommendation and referral.

When candidates access your career site, they must first sign in to LinkedIn. They can then see their connections who work at the company and send them messages. If the candidate doesn't have any connections, they can view employees who work at that company.

To enable LinkedIn connections, you need to:

1. Enable the Integration with LinkedIn Connections

2. Configure LinkedIn Connections

Enable the Integration with LinkedIn Connections

You first need to enable the integration with LinkedIn Connections. The assumption is that you already set up and configured the LinkedIn application.

Note: LinkedIn Connections can be enabled independent of the Recruiting System Connect.

   • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience

   • Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management

   • Task: Recruiting Category Provisioning and Configuration

2. On the Partner Integration Provisioning page, click Edit next to Profile Import Partners.

3. Go to the LinkedIn Connections section and select the Active option.

Configure LinkedIn Connections

You then need to configure LinkedIn Connections on your career site splash page or custom page.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:

   • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience

   • Functional Area: Candidate Experience

2. On the Career Sites Configuration page, select a career site that you want to configure with LinkedIn Connections and click Edit.

3. Go to the Pages tab, select a splash page or custom page where you want to configure LinkedIn Connections and click Edit.

4. Click the Show other elements menu and select LinkedIn Connections.
