I have paid jobs on LinkedIn, how do I get those candidates to Trakstar?
There are two ways to share your jobs with LinkedIn Recruiter to get your candidates into Hire. We'll lay them out below!
Via a Trackable Link
From the opening, you'd like to share, click on the Candidate Sources tab. The Job Application Link will be displayed.
Click on Share a trackable link to create a custom link with LinkedIn Recruiter. This allows you to track incoming candidates and document their sources. If you would also like to track clicks from a specific location on this job URL, you can use the "Share a trackable link" option to connect a source to candidates who apply via the created link.
From the Name of the candidate source, enter how you'd like to source to be saved. If you have previously entered LinkedIn Recruiter, it will appear here, and you can select it from the drop-down. Otherwise, enter it to add to your account.
Once this is set, copy the URL that appears. You can do this by clicking the two rectangles next to the URL.
Use this link to create your LinkedIn opening as the application link. Hire will track the source for you!
Via a Custom Job Board
Once on the job posting page, it is easy to add a new job board
Click the "Custom" Job Boards tab, and then click ADD A JOB BOARD.
Once you click the ADD A JOB BOARD box, you can type the name of your new job board (LinkedIn Recruiter), and click Add & Get Instructions:
You will be shown a unique application link for that job board and the details that will be posted.
Many job boards accept URLs to direct people to your job postings. If your job board accepts this posting - this is the best way to share your job! Jobs shared in this manner will direct the applicant to the application form, and they will answer the custom questions you have set up!
If the job board you have chosen does not allow external links, that's okay! You can generate an opening-specific email address to forward the candidate's resume into the system. To generate this unique email address, click "generate a unique email address."
Note - Candidates added via the email address will not answer any custom application questions built. Instead, their resume will be added to the system, and their name and phone number will be parsed. If you have the auto-response to applicants turned on, these candidates will receive auto-responses only when a unique email address is present and can be parsed out of their resume.
You can now view the unique email address for this job posting
You have all the data you need to create your posting on the job board! You can now hop over to the job board site (Monster, Career Builder, etc.) and paste the information from your job posting box. Share the external link, email address, and job description information!
As candidates apply via this job board posting, you will be able to see their source reflected within their profile and the source report.
