LinkedIn

AdaptSuite allows cross-communication between LinkedIn and the AdaptSuite software.

 

The following requires your staffing service to have at least three Licensed Individuals and each must have one of the following LinkedIn product licenses:

 

In addition, Bond needs to set up some information in order for you to use the LinkedIn Integration. Please contact Bond Support for more information.

 

The LinkedIn Social Profile

The LinkedIn Social Profile allows you to automatically search and link the record to your existing LinkedIn Profile. If you do not have a LinkedIn Recruiter License, you may choose to add the LinkedIn URL information for the record within the Social Networking workflow.

 

By hovering over , a flyout window displays the LinkedIn profile. If no link exists, a LinkedIn search is presented instead. If you enter the LinkedIn profile via the LinkedIn search, the link to the LinkedIn profile is captured and linked back into AdaptSuite. If you clear the link from the Social Network workflow, the LinkedIn link will also be cleared.

 

To see those candidates/contacts for which a LinkedIn Social Profile exists, you can add a LinkedIn column to any candidate or contact search via the formatter. If the icon displays in the column, a link exists. If the column is blank, no link exists.

 

Automatic Linking

When adding a new Contact or Candidate, AdaptSuite automatically checks the email address entered and attempts to match it with an existing LinkedIn Profile. If a match is found, the system automatically creates a link to the LinkedIn Profile.

 

Bulk Linking

For existing records, the system searches overnight to see whether any contact or candidate in the system matches any LinkedIn Profile. The system checks based on Email address or LinkedIn Code. If a match is found, the system automatically creates a link to the LinkedIn Profile.

 

LinkedIn has a restriction of 500 profile links per day (whether linked manually, automatically or by bulk). Therefore, once 500 new links have been created, the Bulk Linking process stops for the night, but marks the records that it has already checked. The next day, the Bulk Linking process takes up where it left off ensuring that records are not constantly being re-checked.

 

Badge

Linked candidates/contacts display a link (badge) in LinkedIn Recruiter search results.

 

 

You can use the link to access information about the record in AdaptSuite.

 

Stub Profile

Recruiters can source potential candidates by sending an inMail invitation to a person found from a search and asking them to share their information. If the sourced candidate accepts the invitation and elects to share their information, a Stub Profile is created within AdaptSuite. If the sourced candidate already exists in AdaptSuite, the system will update the record. In each case, a journal entry is created.

 

A Stub Profile is a Candidate record in AdaptSuite with minimal information (Name, Email Address, Phone Number). Once AdaptSuite creates a stub profile, the new record is linked to the LinkedIn profile and a badge is visible on the LinkedIn record. A Journal entry is made for the creation of the Candidate as well as the InMail acceptance. The Candidate Source on a Stub Profile is "LinkedIn".

 

NOTE: The system typically polls LinkedIn every 30 minutes (contact Bond Support if you wish to change this polling interval). Therefore, it may be up to 30 minutes before the Stub Profile is created in AdaptSuite.

 

InMail

The LinkedIn Recruiter has the ability to communicate with their Candidate via InMail. When the record is linked, the InMails are captured in the Journal of the AdaptSuite record.

 

NOTE: The system typically polls LinkedIn every 30 minutes (contact Bond Support if you wish to change this polling interval). Therefore, it may be up to 30 minutes before the InMail is captured in the Journal.

 

Recruiter Notes

LinkedIn Recruiter has the ability to add Notes to the LinkedIn record. When the record is linked, the Notes are captured in the journal of the AdaptSuite record.

 

NOTE: The system typically polls LinkedIn every 30 minutes (contact Bond Support if you wish to change this polling interval). Therefore, it may be up to 30 minutes before the Note is captured in the Journal.

 

Unlinking

A linked record may be unlinked by accessing LinkedIn and selecting "Not the Right Profile".
