LinkedIn Recruiter supports Outlook (Microsoft Office 365) and Google (Google Workspace) for email and calendar integrations.
Important to know
As of March 1, 2023, in LinkedIn Recruiter, Microsoft integrations only works with cloud deployments. Microsoft doesn't allow hybrid or on-premise deployments to access calendar and mailbox APIs. Each user that authorizes their email or calendar integration must have an Exchange Online deployment.
With email and calendar integrations in Recruiter, you can:
- View email and InMail communication in one place: With the email syncing integration, you can connect a work inbox and view active email conversations (from up to one year from the initial authorization or after February 6, 2024 if originally authorized before Feb 5, 2025) and InMail conversations with candidates, directly on the candidate’s profile. When you sync your InMail and email together, you get a centralized view of your candidate conversations, which gives you greater context on candidates, such as whether they are likely to be qualified or interested in the role. You can choose to share candidate email history with peers on your dashboard to streamline collaboration. This visibility can reduce instances of multiple recruiters reaching out to the same candidate and improve the candidate experience. We’re gradually introducing retroactive email sync, and it may not be available at this time.
- Send emails directly: With Email Connect, you can send emails directly from LinkedIn Recruiter, keeping all candidate communication in one place. This feature increases hiring efficiency by allowing you to spend less time switching between tools, and increasing candidate reach across multiple channels. Email Connect is currently only available for LinkedIn Recruiter. We’re gradually making this experience available, and you might not have access to it at this time.
- Seamlessly schedule screening interviews: With the calendar integration, you can connect with a work calendar and share your availability with candidates as a part of your InMail messages. The candidate will receive the message and be able to pick a date and time from your calendar that works for them.
Here's a tip
Each integration requests the lowest level of permission needed in order to provide the above experience to our users. Individual users can select which application they want to authorize while contract administrators can choose to turn the integrations on or off.
