Apply bulk messaging restrictions to specific users in Recruiter

Last updated: 1 year ago

In LinkedIn Recruiter admins can set bulk messaging restrictions to limit the ability for users to send bulk InMail messages.

Bulk messaging restrictions allow Recruiter admins to limit the ability for users to send bulk InMail messages. Product Settings and Account Center admins in Recruiter can choose to restrict all users or specific users on the contract. By default, restrictions aren’t enabled for users. If the Product Settings and Account Center admin chooses to restrict specific users, the admin must apply the restriction from the LinkedIn Admin Center.

Who can use this feature?

This feature is only available for Recruiter Corporate or Recruiter Professional Services (RPS) contracts. Bulk messaging restrictions can only be placed on Recruiter seat types, not Hiring Manager, Talent Pipeline, or Dashboard Manager seats.

To apply bulk messaging restrictions for specific users, you must first enable the setting in Product settings in Recruiter and then edit the attributes for each user in LinkedIn Admin Center.

To apply bulk messaging restrictions for multiple specific users:

  1. Move your cursor over your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter homepage and select Product settings from the dropdown.

  2. Click Preferences on the left pane under Company Settings.

  3. On the Preferences page, click Edit to the right of Enable bulk messaging restrictions.

  4. Choose Limit specific seats.

  5. Click Save & select seats. LinkedIn Admin Center opens so you can select which seats to limit.

  6. In LinkedIn Admin Center, on the Users tab, find the users you want to limit.
