Assign a license to a new user in Recruiter

Who can use this feature?

Only Product Settings and Account Center Admins can manage licenses, permissions, and roles on your LinkedIn Recruiter contract.

As a Product Settings and Account Center Admin in LinkedIn Recruiter, you can assign a license to a new user in LinkedIn Admin Center. Assigning a license allows new users to access Recruiter so they can perform various actions to source candidates.

You can assign licenses to up to 100 users at a time. If you need to assign licenses to more than 100 users, you must upload a CSV file. New users don’t need to add and confirm their email addresses on their LinkedIn accounts for you to assign a license to them.

Here's a tip

To better secure your account, we recommend assigning the Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission to a current or new user to serve as a backup admin. This allows an additional user to manage your contract if you depart the company or go on extended leave. You can assign admin permissions to users with the Hiring Manager role without using a paid license.

To assign a license to a new user:

Move your cursor over your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter homepage and select Manage users in Admin Center from the dropdown.
On the User & license management tab, in the Users section, click Add new users.
Select Add users by email from the dropdown.
Enter the email address in the textbox and click Add.
Select the role to assign specific access and capabilities to the user.

Here's a tip

To assign the admin permission, select one of the Preset Roles that includes the Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission, or click Custom Role to select a license, and select the Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission.
Click Confirm.

After you assign a license to a new user, they’ll receive an email to activate their license. The activation link expires after seven days. Once they activate their license, they can access Recruiter and perform actions specific to their assigned role.

Important to know

The number of times you can assign a license is limited. This limit varies per contract. For example, an organization with 15 seats is allowed to assign 15 licenses every 30 days. Limits reset every 30 days from the organization’s contract start date and any unused assign actions don’t carry over to the next month.
