Export candidates to your Applicant Tracking System (ATS) with RSC

Last updated: 1 year ago

Recruiter System Connect (RSC) is an integration between LinkedIn Recruiter and your Applicant Tracking System (ATS). There are two ways to export candidates from RSC to your ATS:  

  • InMail Stub Profile
  • 1-Click Export

Important to know

You can only export the candidate’s information if their profile privacy settings allow their information to be accessed outside of LinkedIn. Some members may have profile settings that prevent you from exporting their information. See Off-LinkedIn Visibility to learn about profile visibility.

Export from the InMail Stub Profile 

You can export from the InMail Stub Profile only if: 

  • The candidate has set their profile privacy settings such that their information can be accessed outside of LinkedIn. 
  • The candidate has responded to an InMail message, including clicking Accept or Decline

If the candidate replies to your InMail, they will receive a pop-up prompting them to share their contact information, which will be exported to your ATS. If they share their information the following may also be exported:

  • Current employer's name
  • Current title
  • First name
  • Headline
  • Last name
  • Location
  • Unique ID of the member
  • URL of the member's public LinkedIn profile

1-Click Export 

A recruiter on your contract can export up to 300 exports per user, per month. All basic jobs will be available in 1-Click Export.

Important to know

Some fields in 1-Click Export are enabled by your ATS. If a field is missing from your export, contact your ATS to ensure you have the latest version. Enhanced 1-Click Export is only available if supported by your ATS.

To export a candidate to your ATS directly from a candidate’s profile page, the search results page, or the Pipeline tab in a project:

  1. On a candidate’s profile, click the More icon at the top of the page.
  2. Select Export to ATS.
  3. In the Export to your ATS window, select the ATS from the ATS dropdown.
  4. Select the related job from the Job name dropdown.
  5. (Optional) Enter the candidate’s email in the Candidate email field.

  6. (Optional) Add notes to the Notes field. 

  7. Click Export.

1-Click Export will export the following: 

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Profile URL
  • Headline
  • Location
  • Source (“LinkedIn”)
  • Notes (if manually entered by the recruiter into the Notes field in the Export to your ATS window)
  • Available in Enhanced 1-Click Export only:
    • Education
    • Experience, including the last 2 experiences only.
    • Top 3 skills, including the 2 most recent “highlighted skills” if available
    • Years of experience
    • Email(s), if manually entered by the recruiter into the Candidate email field in the Export to your ATS window

The Export to ATS section on the profile will show all export activity for that profile, including the date and time of the export, the ATS, and the selected requisition.

Important to know

Some ATSs create security groups to restrict unauthorized users from viewing job or candidate information. Greenhouse, Workable, and SmartRecruiters currently have security groups in place. If your ATS implements security groups, you will need to have access to jobs and applications within the ATS in order to view them on LinkedIn. Reach out to your ATS representative to confirm you’re listed under the correct security group for the job(s) you are trying to export.
