Turn on Individual LinkedIn RSC Integrations

After you have enabled LinkedIn RSC, you can manage individual integrations. LinkedIn RSC includes five integrations; by default, all integrations are enabled. While some integrations are required (by LinkedIn), others are optional.

The following integrations are required:

  • The following integrations are required:
    • 1-Click Export
    • Consented InMail
    • In-ATS Indicator
  • The following integrations are optional:
    • LinkedIn Enhanced Profile
    • LinkedIn InMail

You can disable the integrations as needed; however, you must keep the required integrations enabled to be able to save the changes.

NOTE: LinkedIn RSC will not be enabled in your environment if the integrations are not displayed.

To enable the LinkedIn Enhanced Profile integration, click Enable. After the LinkedIn RSC integration is enabled, Evolve ATS syncs all contacts to LinkedIn. This is a one-time process that may take a few hours. Once the initial sync is complete, a confirmation message will appear.

When enabling the In-ATS Indicator integration, you can choose between two options:

In ATS Indicator.png

  • Sync only applications from candidates who have consented to send their data to LinkedIn Recruiter - If you choose this option, the I agree to allow my application status to be visible inside LinkedIn Recruiter (optional) checkbox is added to the apply page on your career website. With this option, application workflow steps are only synced if a job seeker selects the checkbox.

NOTE: It is impossible to regain consent if not granted during the Apply process.

  • Sync all application statuses without the candidate's consent - All application workflow steps will be sent to LinkedIn if you choose this option.

NOTE: In the case of applications, there is an opportunity to sync historical data (not just data entered on a go-forward basis). The date you select determines how much data is synced into LinkedIn; therefore, if you choose not to sync all historical data, you will not see those historical applications from the ATS in LinkedIn.

Click Save.

Enable LinkedIn Recommended Matches and Unified Search

To enable LinkedIn Recommended Matches and LinkedIn Unified Search capabilities, you must first log in to LinkedIn Recruiter as an administrator.

In the same browser window, open a new tab and log in to Evolve ATS as an admin; navigate to your user menu, then select Admin.

NOTE: It may take up to 5 minutes for the settings to reflect in Evolve ATS and allow you to start using the Recommended Matches and Unified Search capabilities after this waiting period.

NOTE: If you are making multiple changes in the Configure LinkedIn Integrations widget, you will need to wait for the widget to refresh after making each change.

Connecting Evolve ATS User Account to LinkedIn Recruiter

Once LinkedIn RSC is enabled in your environment by an Evolve ATS administrator, you can connect your individual Evolve ATS user account to your LinkedIn Recruiter account. This will allow you to streamline the sourcing and management of candidates from both systems in Evolve ATS

NOTE: This configuration is required for all RSC integrations except LinkedIn Enhanced Profile.

Navigate to your user menu, then click My Account.
