Setting up Recruiter System Connect
The user setting this up will need to be a Super Admin in Workable as well as an Admin Seat Holder in the Recruiter account.
In your Workable account:
- Navigate to Settings > Integrations
- Locate LinkedIn in the list of job board integrations and click on it
- Select Setup or view existing LinkedIn Integrations
- If you aren’t already signed into LinkedIn, enter your LinkedIn credentials and if you have a seat on multiple LinkedIn contracts, select which one you would like to connect
- Click Choose Package
- Enable the Sourcing Package by clicking the checkbox and select Save changes. At this point, you can also check the Reporting Package to activate ATS-enabled reporting.
“Activated for your current contract” will appear when connected, with the contract listed at the top. (A “Notify ATS” button may also appear which will allow you to send the integration request again.)
Now, it's time to finalize the integration on the LinkedIn site. If you refresh your page you will be able to see the below message:
In Recruiter:
- Click your profile image on the right and select Product Settings
- On that page, navigate to the ATS integration tab on the left
- Click Edit next to the Workable connection
- To activate RSC at the company level:
-
Tick the “activate In-ATS Indicator and In-ATS Profile widget for all contracts in your company” box. This is only applicable to companies with multiple contracts.
-
- To activate/disable optional RSC features at the contract level:
- Toggle-on or off optional features for that contract. We recommend keeping "1-Click Export" enabled. Disabling 1-Click Export will remove the option (detailed below) to export a candidate to a Workable job. Click Save to confirm your selections.
- Click Save to confirm your selections.
Notes:
- If you have multiple Recruiter dashboards, each admin must sign in to Recruiter and enable optional features at contract level from their specific dashboard.
- If other Super Administrators plan to use RSC they will need to connect their Workable and LinkedIn Recruiter accounts.
