Recommended Matches in CRM Connect

The Recommended Matches feature brings LinkedIn Recruiter's automated sourcing capabilities to your Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) system via the CRM Connect integration.

Who can use this feature?

This feature is only available if the CRM Connect integration is enabled and your CRM provider is leveraging the Recommended Matches integration. If Recommended Matches is supported by your CRM, you will see it listed as a feature in the CRM Connect Onboarding Widget when you enable the integration.

This feature is currently not available to Hiring Collaborator License holders.

Here's a tip

If you update the job title, location, or skills in your CRM job pipeline, the Recommended Matches widget automatically adjusts the candidate recommendations so you always see the most relevant talent based on your latest CRM fields. Even if you don't make changes to the selected fields (job title, location, or skills), Recommended Matches results still refresh every day to ensure up-to-date suggestions.

With Recommended Matches, you can:

Source the best candidates for a CRM talent pipeline.
Use InMail to reach out to candidates that you think are a good fit, and add them to your CRM talent pipeline without leaving your CRM.
Get better matches over time as the algorithm learns from your selections.
View candidates whose skills match those required for your CRM talent pipelines. Your CRM must sync skills with your CRM talent pipelines in order to power skills-based Recommended Matches.

When you open a talent pipeline in your integrated CRM system, LinkedIn will automatically recommend candidates who best match that pipeline. You can message these candidates via InMail or save them to a pipeline as a prospect all within the CRM. All results are displayed via a LinkedIn framed widget that is similar to the CRM Connect Profile Widget.

The enhanced Recommended Matches widget now provides more accurate candidate suggestions based on updated job titles, locations, and skills, ensuring you receive the most relevant matches even after making changes to your CRM talent pipelines.

Recommended Matches recommends candidates based on the following signals:

Job titles and locations
Your real-time hiring signals, such as who you save or InMail via the Recommended Matches widget
Skills attached to the CRM talent pipeline
