How to connect your LinkedIn account

Connecting your LinkedIn recruiter or company account to CareerArc allows us to automatically post jobs to that page on your behalf and is an integral part of our automated distribution service.

Each user is able to connect their LinkedIn recruiter or company page to CareerArc. To connect a LinkedIn account to CareerArc, select Profiles from the left side menu.

Choose Add profile from the top right of the page and select the LinkedIn account option.

This will open a window where you can choose to authorize your own profile or create an invitation for another user to authorize their profile without needing to be a CareerArc user.

Select the Authorize option to authorize your own profile. Enter your username and password for the LinkedIn account you would like to connect and select the option to sign in:

Add a nickname for the account and select the profile and/or company pages that you would like to connect to CareerArc and then select Save.

Now your LinkedIn account will appear on the Social profiles page
