Before fully activating Apply Connect features, you can conduct a thorough test to ensure everything functions as expected and is fully operational before going live. Below are the steps to guide you through the testing process.
To test job posting and LinkedIn Apply:
Follow the instructions provided from your ATS to enable posting a test job to LinkedIn.
Ensure you label the test job clearly as “<TEST>” in the job title and place "THIS IS A TEST JOB" prominently at the top of the job description.
Ensure the LinkedIn Apply button is correctly appended to the job posting and that all required screening questions are present.
After verifying the functionality, close the job in your ATS to avoid unwanted applications.
Once testing is completed successfully, you can proceed to post all open positions on LinkedIn, ensuring they are all LinkedIn Apply enabled.
To test in-ATS widgets and applicant notifications:
Navigate to the LinkedIn Onboarding Widget by following the steps provided by your ATS.
Ensure the integration is Enabled, and the applicant notifications continue to stay enabled.
Apply to the test job on LinkedIn and check that the in-ATS widgets and applicant notifications for actions like "application viewed", "resume downloaded", and "application rejected" appear correctly. In-ATS widgets should appear on the applicant list view and for applicant profiles within the ATS.
If all systems operate as intended, no additional action is required.
