Edit project settings in Recruiter and Recruiter Lite

Last updated: 8 months ago

You can edit project settings for projects you’ve created in LinkedIn Recruiter and LinkedIn Recruiter Lite. You can manage the following project settings:

  • Project details - Project name, Project description, Job title, Location, Seniority, Employment type, Workplace type, and Skills. Some project details are only available in Recruiter.
  • Application rejection settings - Change the applicant rejection settings to reject applicants who don't meet the screening qualifications or location criteria.
  • Workflow settings - Let job applicants know when you've downloaded their resume, turn hiring pipeline stages on or off, or hide candidate photos and names in the project's talent pool.
  • Manage job post - Post a job to LinkedIn.
  • Share job post (available in Recruiter) - Share a job post to social media.
  • Import candidates (available in Recruiter) - Add multiple candidates in bulk.
  • Project members - Edit project members or reassign the project owner.
  • Shared applicants (available in Recruiter) - Link the job post to another project so applicants also appear in that project's talent pool.
  • Archive project - Archive the project so it no longer receives new applicants, company connections, or recommended matches.
    • Note: Archiving a project will close any active job postings automatically. If you need a job to remain active, wait until the job has closed and then archive the project as needed.
