A LinkedIn link is enough: a full profile before the CV arrives

You spot someone promising on LinkedIn, and for now that is all you have: a link. No CV, no phone number, nothing to type into a form.

Here is how that one link is enough to get a complete candidate into your system, so you can start matching straight away instead of waiting.

#What’s new?

• Paste a link, get a profile: drop in a LinkedIn URL and the name, role, employer and languages are filled in for you automatically.
• No waiting for a CV: the candidate is complete and matchable before their CV has even arrived.
• The same link twice is not a second profile: paste it again and the details are refreshed, rather than a duplicate created.
• Right where you already work: the LinkedIn field sits on Add candidate, next to the CV upload.

#Why this makes your work easier

• The profile you spotted at 9:14 is on the shortlist later that morning: no gap between finding someone and being able to do something with them.
• Your time goes into people, not into typing: the details you would have copied across by hand arrive filled in.
• Nothing to clean up afterwards: because a repeated link updates instead of duplicating, your database stays as tidy as you left it.
• Interesting people no longer just slip away: someone you noticed in passing is now a candidate you can find again, months from now.

#Where do you find it?

Nothing to set up. Go to Add candidate, and you will find the LinkedIn field next to the CV upload. Paste the link and the profile fills itself in.
