As a LinkedIn Recruiter user with a Hiring Assistant license, you can streamline your hiring workflows by sharing candidate profiles for review directly in Microsoft Teams.

Hiring Assistant for Microsoft Teams can help you streamline collaboration through:

• License flexibility: Hiring managers don’t need a Hiring Assistant license to provide feedback on candidates.
• Candidate calibration: Recruiters can calibrate candidates with hiring managers via Microsoft Teams. Hiring managers receive a notification, sign in, and provide feedback on candidate fit directly in the app.
• Feedback tracking: Hiring Assistant logs feedback activity and offers suggestions to improve hiring requirements for future sourcing rounds.
• Shortlist review: Recruiters send a shortlist of candidates to the hiring manager for review. Hiring managers receive a message in Microsoft Teams to access the list and submit feedback.
• Activity alerts: Hiring Assistant notifies recruiters in the project’s Activity log in Recruiter when the hiring manager submits feedback and adjusts sourcing criteria accordingly.

Recruiters need to have a Hiring Assistant license in LinkedIn Recruiter to share candidate profiles from Hiring Assistant-enabled projects in Microsoft Teams. To request a Hiring Assistant license, contact your Recruiter admin.

Once your IT and Recruiter admins enable the integration for your company, you will automatically have access to the Hiring Assistant app in Microsoft Teams.

The first time you share a candidate’s profile for review and select Share via Microsoft Teams, you’ll be prompted to sign in to Microsoft Teams in Recruiter.

When a recruiter requests feedback, Hiring Assistant will prompt you in Microsoft Teams to add the integration and sign in to your LinkedIn account directly in the chat. As a hiring manager, you don’t need a Recruiter or Hiring Assistant license to provide feedback in Microsoft Teams, but you must sign in to your LinkedIn account to view candidate profiles.

You can access Hiring Assistant in the Chats section on the left side of Microsoft Teams. We recommend that you add the Hiring Assistant chat to the Favorites section in Microsoft Teams for easy access.
