With a database of millions it is one of the leading recruitment and Employer Branding channels. <strong>Finding the best way to use the advanced recruiting features of this platform is not easy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this post we want to present the main LinkedIn features for recruitment and also how to connect LinkedIn with an <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.in-recruiting.com\/en\/what-is-an-applicant-tracking-system-ats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Applicant Tracking System (ATS).<\/a><\/p>\n<p>LinkedIn offers several channels to support the search for personnel:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Publishing a job post on the business page<\/li>\n<li>Publishing a post in the \u2018career\u2019 section of the business page (a paid feature)<\/li>\n<li>Publishing a post on the personal user\u2019s page of business user<\/li>\n<li>Publishing a post in groups<\/li>\n<li>Posting an ad in the \u2018Jobs\u2019 section, or the internal LinkedIn job board (paid for).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Usually when a job ad is published, the recruiter who manages it indicates a link or email address to allow candidates to submit their CV. Through the various channels the company will generally obtain good search visibility and a high number of CVs that are then managed and tracked according to the company\u2019s recruiting procedures.<br \/>\nTo date however,<strong> LinkedIn (even the \u2018recruiter\u2019 version) does not offer all the features of an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or Recruitment Software<\/strong>, which allow you to manage the entire selection process accurately and specifically. As a result there is a risk that using LinkedIn exclusively does not guarantee that the recruiting team will meet their goals.<br \/>\n<strong>However, it is possible to connect LinkedIn with an Applicant Tracking System, so that you can make the most of the specific benefits of both solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: inherit; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Instructions to connect LinkedIn with your Applicant Tracking System<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By using an Applicant Tracking System (for example In-recruiting) is it possible to integrate the ads posted in the LinkedIn \u2018Jobs\u2019 section (that is, the paid for section) within your ATS, so that you can direct all of the applicants to In-recruiting and optimise your CV management.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s a quick and easy task: when creating an ad in LinkedIn add the unique link from the In-recruiting platform to the field on LinkedIn, as shown in the following image:<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.in-recruiting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog_immagini\/Linkedin-ats.png\" alt=\"how to connect LinkedIn and your ATS\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This way, when candidates see the ad on LinkedIn, they will find the \u2018Apply on Company website\u2019 button which will take them directly to the In-recruiting registration form chosen for the ad (integrated with the company\u2019s career page).<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">The benefits of integrating LinkedIn with an Applicant Tracking System<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Integrating LinkedIn with your Applicant Tracking System (in this case In-recruiting) offers two key benefits:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Applications are centralised<\/strong> within In-recruiting, with the ability to track the applicants from Job boards and manage the recruiting process, also collaborating in real-time with the recruitment team<br \/>\n2. Candidates must complete the registration form chosen by the company for the ad, which leads to <strong>optimal collection of information and candidate profiles<\/strong>, and speeds up the pre-screening phase.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to integrating In-recruiting with the paid ads on LinkedIn, you can also share your vacancy with the followers of your company career page and your own contacts (in the case of a recruiter).<br \/>\nPublishing the details of a vacancy on a showcase page also allows you to establish direct communication with users and their network, enhancing visibility and interest of your ad and reinforcing your Employer Branding.<br \/>\nYou can also use many of the different groups on LinkedIn, publishing the vacancy in specific groups to attract candidates with the most appropriate skills and interests.<br \/>\nIf your business is already posting your ads on LinkedIn and would like to integrate it with a next generation Applicant Tracking System, we\u2019d like to draw your attention to our free 14 day trial of In-recruiting.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ats.in-recruiting.com\/free-trial?utm_source=anchor-text&amp;utm_medium=blog-in-recruiting-en&amp;utm_campaign=free-trial&amp;utm_content=how-to-connect-linkedin-to-an-applicant-tracking-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Try the In-recruiting ATS now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since its launch in 2003, LinkedIn has become the largest online professional network in the world.
