Share team history — or keep yours private

Give your team visibility into LinkedIn conversations while keeping control over your own message history. Each recruiter can decide whether their conversations are shared or private.

  • View teammates' LinkedIn conversation history on candidate records
  • Avoid duplicate outreach with team visibility
  • Control whether your own messages are shared
  • Teammates can view conversations but cannot send messages on your behalf

Frequently asked questions

Don't see the answer you're looking for? Talk to us.

Connection requests and messaging work on every LinkedIn account. InMail requires a LinkedIn Premium plan — Recruiter Lite, Sales Navigator, Career, or Business — and synced messages from those plans appear on the record too.

By default the team can see LinkedIn history on a record, so nobody double-messages the same prospect. Each recruiter can flip "Hide My Messages" in LinkedIn Integration settings to keep their own threads private.

LinkedIn caps how many conversations can be retrieved per day. Recruit CRM tracks your usage and slows retrieval as you approach the limit rather than pushing through it — you're warned before anything gets blocked.

Usually within a minute or two. A "Load New Message" prompt appears on the record, and you can also hit Refresh to check connection-request status on demand.

Yes — files a candidate sends in LinkedIn download straight into their record, so the CV lives with the rest of their profile instead of in your inbox.

Under two minutes. Open the LinkedIn Integration tab from your Profile icon, connect your account once, and LinkedIn appears on every candidate and contact record. Each recruiter connects their own account.
