Add candidates with the LinkedIn add-on
With the Mingle browser add-on, you can import candidates from LinkedIn into your database.
Here's how it works:
Install the add-on
a. In Google Chrome

Once installed, pin it to the Extensions bar.
To do this, click the Extensions button in the top right corner of the navigation bar in Chrome. Find Mingle in this list and click the Pin icon on the right to make it blue:
After this, the Mingle icon will appear in the Extensions bar in Chrome.
b. In Microsoft Edge
Access this LinkedIn add-on page.
Click Allow extensions from other stores and then click Allow in the notification pop-up.
Click Get on the add-on page and then click Accept.
Once installed, pin it so you can access it quickly. Click the Extensions button in the top right corner of the navigation bar. Find Mingle in this list and click on the icon that appears on the right:
2. Import candidates from LinkedIn
In LinkedIn, navigate to a profile page.
You will see the icon turns green. Click on it.
A pop-up will open and it will allow you to add the candidate to your Mingle database.
Fill in the information in the pop-up, if needed. Then click Add candidate
The add-on also works for LinkedIn Recruiter, following the same steps:
What else you need to know:
- If a candidate already exists in your database, you'll get a notification in the add-on when trying to import it.
- Available candidate data will be automatically retrieved: name, email, phone, profile link and location. If you use LinkedIn Recruiter, information about the candidate's experience and skills will also be retrieved
- Once added, you can click View on Mingle to navigate to the candidate's profile on Mingle.
