Share candidate profiles for feedback in Microsoft Teams with Hiring Assistant

Last updated: 1 month ago

Who can use this feature?

This feature is available to select organizations with a LinkedIn Recruiter or LinkedIn Recruiter Professional Services Plus (RPS+) contract that includes Hiring Assistant, the language setting set to English, and a Microsoft 365 plan with Teams on a Pro, Business, or Enterprise plan. We’re gradually making this experience available, and you might not have access to it at this time. Learn more about Hiring Assistant here.

As a LinkedIn Recruiter user with a Hiring Assistant license, you can share one or more candidates with a hiring manager for review and feedback in Microsoft Teams.

Once the hiring manager completes their feedback, Hiring Assistant tracks and updates hiring requirements in Recruiter automatically.

We recommend sharing a single candidate’s profile with the hiring manager to help calibrate Hiring Assistant for your project. This gives the hiring manager the opportunity to provide direct feedback to help drive improvements to your project.

The first time you share a profile, Hiring Assistant will use the feedback the hiring manager provides to further improve your hiring requirements. You can approve or reject Hiring Assistant’s suggestions for your project. Once you send enough profiles to complete the calibration, you can share up to 25 candidates for feedback with up to 10 reviewers at a time, facilitating a more tailored hiring approach.

To share one or more profiles for feedback in Microsoft Teams:

  1. Click Projects at the top of your Recruiter homepage.

  2. Click the project title. 

    • You can use the search bar and filters on the left to locate your project.
  3. Click the Pipeline tab.

  4. Select the checkbox next to each candidate you want to request feedback on.

  5. Click Share for review at the top of the list of candidates.

  6. In the Share profiles for review slide-in window, click the Share in Teams tab.

    • If it’s your first time sharing a profile in Microsoft Teams, click Sign in and sign in to Microsoft Teams.
  7. In the Share profile with: field, enter the name of the hiring manager(s) you want to share the profile with and select them from the dropdown. You can enter up to 10 reviewers.

  8. Optional: Edit the pre-populated message.

  9. Click Share.

When a hiring manager provides feedback on a candidate shared in Microsoft Teams, Hiring Assistant records the feedback in the candidate's Feedback tab in Recruiter. You'll be notified once the feedback is complete, and Hiring Assistant will suggest updates in the project’s Activity log to refine your sourcing strategy.
