LinkedIn Apply Connect
Find the right people more efficiently with real-time applicant insights and create a positive candidate experience with Apply Connect.
Jobs created in Zoho Recruit are posted to LinkedIn in real-time, and with the LinkedIn Easy Apply feature, job seekers can apply for your jobs without leaving LinkedIn.
With LinkedIn Recruiter seats, you can see candidate highlights in Zoho Recruit with real-time views of LinkedIn profiles and how they match your job posts, enabling your teams to make more informed choices.
Important Note:
All Zoho Recruit users can access Apply Connect at no additional cost and can post job posts to LinkedIn and receive applicants via LinkedIn Easy Apply.
However, the full set of Apply Connect features including ‘Applicant Highlights’ and ‘Applicant Notifications’ are available for LinkedIn Recruiter (Corporate) and LinkedIn Recruiter Professional Services (RPS) users only. These features are not available for LinkedIn Recruiter Lite users.
Please do note that LinkedIn requires jobs for search or staffing companies to be promoted into Job Slots to be visible on LinkedIn. Please refer to LinkedIn's support article here for more details.
Prerequisites
Review the following requirements so you can activate the integration in Recruit. Reach out to your internal IT team for help if needed.
- Make sure you have administrative privileges in both LinkedIn Recruiter and Zoho Recruit.
- If you are using a LinkedIn Recruiter account, then you must have a Recruiter Admin (Searcher) permission in LinkedIn. See Also User Licenses and Permissions in Recruiter.

- Disable any settings that block third-party cookies or cross-site tracking. Reach out to your internal IT team if you need help.

- If you have more than one contract, you will need to repeat the following steps for each contract.

Note: Activation steps vary by your LinkedIn Recruiter subscription.
To enable Linked Apply Connect in your Zoho Recruit account, follow the steps detailed below;

- LinkedIn Recruiter if you are currently using a LinkedIn Recruiter account.
- LinkedIn Basic if you do not currently use a LinkedIn Recruiter account.
- Toggle the checkbox to confirm that you agree with LinkedIn’s Jobs Terms & Conditions and click Proceed.
1.A Setting up the integration with a LinkedIn Recruiter account
Once you have enabled selected your account type the LinkedIn onboarding widget will appear as a pop-up.
- In the widget that is displayed, log in to your LinkedIn account.
- Select the LinkedIn Contract you wish to link with Zoho Recruit.
- Click Choose integrations and toggle the Apply Connect checkbox.
- Keep in mind that the Applicant Notifications option will be available only for LinkedIn Recruiter users.
- Click Save Changes.

1.B Setting up the integration without a LinkedIn Recruiter account

- LinkedIn Apply Connect will then be activated for your Zoho Recruit account.
- Keep in mind that you will only be able to avail LinkedIn Easy Apply without a LinkedIn Recruiter subscription. If you wish to use Applicant Highlights and Applicant Notifications, purchase a LinkedIn Recruiter subscription and reactivate the integration.
2. Next Steps
Step #1: Enable the LinkedIn Job Board
If you have already enabled LinkedIn Premium or LinkedIn Basic, please ignore this and read ahead. If not, follow the instructions given our help article to enable LinkedIn as a job board. See More LinkedIn Basic | LinkedIn Premium
Step #2: Publish jobs in LinkedIn
You can then start publishing your jobs on LinkedIn directly from Zoho Recruit. See More Publishing in LinkedIn Basic | Publishing in LinkedIn Premium
3. What you can do with Apply Connect?
3.A LinkedIn Easy Apply (for Candidates)
With Apply Connect, every job you post in LinkedIn will have the Easy Apply button. This reduces drop-offs by displaying your configured Application Form within LinkedIn.
Not just that, even your pre-screening assessment is handled without redirections, ensuring a seamless experience for each and every applicant.
3.B LinkedIn Applicant Notifications (for Candidates)
When you view a candidate's LinkedIn Highlights or Full Profile from the Candidates module in Zoho Recruit, they will be notified that their application has been viewed. This helps them stay informed about their job applications and ensures you have a transparent hiring process.
3.C LinkedIn Applicant Highlights & Full Profile plugins (for Recruiters)
Once job seekers apply for the job, their details will be automatically added to the Candidates module in your Zoho Recruit account. Every candidate that applies will have a LinkedIn Profile Highlights button in the List View page.
You can even view their Full LinkedIn Profile directly from within Zoho Recruit, giving you a better idea about their career & work history.
4. Disable Apply Connect for a Specific Job
Say you wish to publish a job in LinkedIn but do not want it to have Apply Connect enabled for it alone. For such cases, we have a checkbox while publishing that lets you disable Apply Connect for a certain job.
To disable Apply Connect for a specific job;
- Go to the job opening and click the Publish icon.
- Select LinkedIn Premium or LinkedIn Basic as the job board.
- In the pop-up, scroll down and toggle the Disable LinkedIn Apply Connect for this job checkbox.
- Click Save and proceed with publishing the job.
