As a Product Settings and Account Center Admin in LinkedIn Recruiter, you can assign a Hiring Assistant license to an existing user with an active Recruiter license in LinkedIn Admin Center.

Who can use this feature?

Hiring Assistant is available as an add-on for LinkedIn Recruiter and LinkedIn Recruiter Professional Services Plus (RPS+) customers with their language preference set to English. Only users with the Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission type can manage licenses, roles, and permissions in LinkedIn Recruiter. We’re gradually making this experience available, and you might not have access to it at this time.

A Hiring Assistant licence in LinkedIn Recruiter enables recruiters to use Hiring Assistant to create projects, source and message candidates, and manage hiring tasks more efficiently.

You can assign a Hiring Assistant license to an existing user with one of the following roles:

Recruiter User
Recruiter Admin
Custom Role (with a Hiring Project Creator license and the Recruiter Searcher permission)

To assign a Hiring Assistant license to an existing user:

Move your cursor over your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter homepage and select Manage users in Admin Center from the dropdown.
On the Users tab, find the user whose license you want to manage.
- Use filters or the search box to locate users by license type, status, group, name, or email.
Click the  More icon to the right of the user and select Manage license from the dropdown.
Under the user’s role (Recruiter User, Recruiter Admin, or Custom Role), select the checkbox next to Assign Hiring Assistant Tier [number].
- Note: For Custom Role users, ensure they have the Hiring Project Creator license and Recruiter Searcher permission.
Click Confirm.

The existing user will automatically gain access to Hiring Assistant. It may take a few minutes for the Hiring Assistant license to appear in Recruiter.
