Activating the LinkedIn Profile Import

Take advantage of our new partnership with LinkedIn, which allows your employees to import their LinkedIn profile information into their talent profile. This enhanced functionality provides you with greater access to your employees’ updated skills, preferences, and credentials. It’s an easy way for your employees to keep their talent profile updated.

Before you can use this feature, you must activate it. Follow these steps.

Required:

  1. The LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect (RSC) must be activated in order to implement the LinkedIn Profile Import.
    1. Customers must have a LinkedIn Recruiter account (Recruiter Seat) associated with a paid LinkedIn Recruiter Contract (license) in order to enable the RSC and then activate the LinkedIn Profile Import.
    2. Customers should contact their LinkedIn representative or their Customer Success Manager if they want a demo of RSC, if they have questions about how RSC works, if they have questions around security concerns, and so on.
    3. For more information about LinkedIn Recruiter licenses, Contracts, and how secure the RSC integration is, ask your system integrator or implementation partner to contact LinkedIn.
