- 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.)

RSC Features in Recruiter
1. View the status of past applicants or candidates who are already in Workable
When searching for candidates in Recruiter, you’ll see a checkmark next to the words “In Workable” or “In ATS” if they are already in Workable.
Hover on or click on that link to pull up more information. You’ll be able to see the stage the candidate was in and their most recent evaluation and comment.
Additionally, a spotlight (pre-defined search) called Past Applicants will appear in the top pane with other spotlights. The candidates in this spotlight have applied before and are already in Workable.
2. Easily export candidates to Workable
Note: 1-Click Export must be enabled during setup for this option to appear. Enable or disable it in LinkedIn under Admin Settings -> ATS -> Edit Workable.
When viewing a potential candidate in Recruiter, you’ll see an option on their profile to export them to Workable.
Search for the job to which you’d like to add the candidate. Click Export to automatically add the candidate to Workable in the job’s Sourced stage.
Important: A job must have the Published status in Workable and you must be a member of its hiring team to perform the export.
In Workable, the candidate’s profile will appear with their name and headline. Candidate email addresses are not exported to Workable. When you initiate the export we run an extra enrichment through People Search to supplement the candidate profile and when we are able to confirm a definitive match, an email address may be included in the candidate's profile.
To add contact information or other profile details, click the three dots at the top of the candidate’s profile and choose Edit candidate.
It is possible to export candidates to Workable directly from the search view search:
