I am reading up on LINKEDIN CRM CONNECT (interestingly they mean 'Candidate Relationship Management by CRM which is confusing to those who know it as customer).  In any event it looks like a renewed approach and platform for ATS integration.

 Screenshots in the link suggest the ability to access pipeline status data and other ATS activity from within linkedin Recruiter searches and pipelines.

This is an application to be a Linkedin Talent Solution Partner  

Thanks,

Philip
