Sign in with LinkedIn

Recruitment Marketing Public

Sign in with LinkedIn is available for use in Recruitment Marketing calls-to-action (CTA). Once enabled, not only does this feature facilitate faster, easier completion of calls-to-action by candidates, but it also sends that candidate’s LinkedIn profile information over to their candidate record in the Recruitment Marketing module.

Recruitment Marketing focuses on the "pre-apply" stage; therefore, this additional call-to-action feature is different from Apply with LinkedIn.

The Sign in with LinkedIn button will only show if:

  • The current candidate is unknown (such as a prospect) and,
  • The current candidate has not previously authorized LinkedIn.

If a candidate wishes to disconnect from LinkedIn, they can do so by going to their Candidate Settings and clicking the relevant button.

The information below will guide you through configuring the Sign in with LinkedIn feature for your careers website.

  1. Navigate to LinkedIn Developers and log in to your organization's account.
  2. From the top menu, click My apps.
  3. Click Create new.
  4. On the Create an app page, complete the following:
