It is possible to create new candidates in the Influence database by taking information from LinkedIn and using this as the basis for the candidate record.
- Open LinkedIn find the candidate and highlight all their information then choose COPY (Ctrl-C)
- In Influence Professional select the [Candidates] button at the left of the Workbench, then click [New] at the bottom left.
- When the new candidate record opens, click the [Capture] button at the bottom left of the candidate screen. This will then take all the copied information from LinkedIn and use this to create a new candidate record. Click [OK]
- Once the candidate record has been created, correct any missing information such as Address, Telephone number, current role, etc that may have been missed during the capture phase, then click [Apply] or [OK] to save the candidate record.
Tip: You may want to add the candidate with a status such as "LINK" to indicate that you only have LinkedIn details, and not a full CV. If you do not have a suitable candidate status code available you can add one to the dropdown list. See here. |
