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 hiring manager in LinkedIn Recruiter, you can provide feedback on candidate profiles a recruiter shared with you in Microsoft Teams if you have Hiring Assistant for Microsoft Teams.

When a recruiter shares a candidate profile with you through Microsoft Teams, you’ll receive a message in the LinkedIn Hiring Assistant chat.
