Recruiters can use the LinkedIn Chrome extension to add leads directly to talent communities (TCs), helping them organize and keep track of candidates.

Note: If you have not yet installed the Google Chrome extension for LinkedIn, read Using the Eightfold Chrome extension with LinkedIn article and install the extension before taking the following steps.

To use the LinkedIn Chrome extension to add candidates to TCs, take the following steps:

1. Sign in to your LinkedIn account.
2. Open the profile of the contact you would like to add to your TC. (Note: The extension only activates when viewing a user’s profile.)

The Chrome Extension window will automatically appear, showing the contact’s information from their LinkedIn profile, as well as:

• relevant positions in the Eightfold system that may match their qualifications,
• relevant communities in the Eightfold system that may match their qualifications,
• Eightfold system recruiting activity, and
• Eightfold system notes and tags.

Using the "Save to Community" feature:

3. Click Save to Community. This will bring up a list of communities that you may want to save the candidate to.
4. Click the name of the community you would like to save the candidate to.



The candidate will now be saved in the Saved section for that community.


5. From the Saved section, select the candidate you’d like to add.
6. Click the Advance Stage dropdown list and select Added. 7. This will bring up a Confirm ATS action window. Click Confirm. The candidate will now appear in your Added tab.

Using the "Add to Community" feature:

Alternatively, if you are using the Add to Community feature, you can directly add candidate to a community instead of saving them separately.
3. Click Add to Community.
4. A popup window appears. Select the community to which the selected candidate(s) are required to be added to.
5. This will send prospects to the Added stage for users using the default nurture community type. And for those who have overridden the default configuration (which is using the default community type "Nurture", without any changes to the workflow, and Added is the first stage), the system will move to the first stage of the stage group “new_applicant”. This can be located in Admin console > Integration > Integration systems > Advanced tab > Select System ID = Sourcing > Workflows tab.
6. The candidate will now appear in your Added tab.

Read the Add to Community setup guide for the configuration required to use Add to Community feature.

Note:

• Eightfold Chrome extension displays up to 250 Communities. These are displayed in the order of latest update time.
• When importing LinkedIn profiles, Eightfold uses the LinkedIn URL as the unique identifier. If a profile with the same LinkedIn URL already exists, its updated with the new information. Otherwise, a new profile is created to keep your database organized.
• Historical sync is performed only on the two-year active data of the candidate profile.
