Connection Methods for Recruiter Accounts

🎯 Recommended Approach

For Recruiter accounts, we strongly recommend using the ConnectSafely Extension method rather than direct credential entry. This provides better session management and reduces the risk of account limitations.

Option 1: ConnectSafely Extension (Recommended)

This is the preferred method for Recruiter accounts as it provides better session management and security.

🔗 Extension Connection Steps

  1. Install the ConnectSafely extension from Chrome Web Store
  2. Log into your LinkedIn Recruiter account in a separate tab
  3. Return to ConnectSafely and select "Connect via ConnectSafely Extension"
  4. Configure inbox privacy settings
  5. Click "Yes, Connect" to finalize

Option 2: Direct Credential Entry

While possible, this method may have more session limitations for Recruiter accounts.

⚠️ Credential Connection Considerations

  • May require more frequent re-authentication
  • Higher risk of session timeouts
  • LinkedIn may flag automated activities more readily
  • Less reliable for long-term connection stability

Recruiter Account Verification Process

✅ Verification Steps

You will see the LinkedIn account's profile picture and account details appearing on the screen, helping you identify if the correct Recruiter account is being connected to ConnectSafely.

The system will display "Recruiter" account type to confirm you're connecting the right account type.

Inbox Privacy Configuration

Select your preferred inbox privacy configuration for Recruiter accounts:

"Track and import all LinkedIn conversations"

Imports conversations from the last 30 days and all future conversations from your Recruiter account.

"Track only conversations started from ConnectSafely"

Limits tracking to conversations initiated through ConnectSafely campaigns only.

Recruiter-Specific Privacy Considerations

Recruiter accounts may contain sensitive candidate information. Consider using the limited tracking option to maintain candidate privacy and comply with recruitment best practices.

Session Management and Limitations

Recruiter accounts connected to ConnectSafely have specific session limitations that differ from regular LinkedIn accounts.

⏰ Session Limitations

  • Sessions may expire more frequently than regular accounts
  • Re-authentication may be required every 24-48 hours
  • Some Recruiter-specific features may not be accessible

Two Factor Authentication (2FA) for Recruiter

If your LinkedIn Recruiter account has Two Factor Authentication enabled, you'll need to provide a PIN code during the connection process.

🔐 2FA Process

  1. When prompted, check your 2FA method (email, SMS, or authenticator app)
  2. Enter the valid and newest PIN code
  3. Click submit to continue the connection
  4. Wait for the account to sync and connect

📱 2FA PIN Validity

  • Email/SMS: PINs are valid for 15 minutes
  • Google Authenticator: PINs are valid for 30 seconds
