Before publishing, you must have created a LinkedIn Recruiter Project within LinkedIn Recruiter.

Once you start creating the posting in Spott, the LinkedIn job board settings will open.

Here you can configure:

  • Application stage, the stage where inbound applications should be added

  • LinkedIn Project URL, paste the URL of your LinkedIn Recruiter project

  • LinkedIn Application URL (optional). If the job was already public, fill in the LinkedIn application URL

Once the job board posting is published, any inbound application from the LinkedIn job posting will be automatically added to your Spott candidate database. These details are parsed from the email sent by LinkedIn. This is why we need the email you receive applications on to be synced with Spott.
