Assign a license to a new user in Recruiter

As a user and license management admin, you can assign a LinkedIn Recruiter license to a new user in LinkedIn Admin Center. 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. The users' email addresses don't need to be added and confirmed on their LinkedIn accounts for you to assign a license.

Who can use this feature?

Only user and license management admins can manage licenses, permissions, and roles on your LinkedIn Recruiter contract. To better secure your account, we encourage you to add a back-up admin by assigning admin permissions to a current or new user. 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 provided and click Add to add the user.
Select the role to assign specific access and capabilities to the user.
Click Confirm.

Important to know

The number of times a license can be assigned 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.
