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
Using Google Chrome, install the LinkedIn add-on.
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 on 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:
3. Update the candidate profile
If a candidate is already in your database, the add-on will display this information when you open it.
If you want to update the candidate (for example, if the information on their profile has changed since you added them), you can do this directly from the add-on.
Click on Quick editand in the window that opens, scroll down and check the option Update CV with latest data, the click on Update candidate.
The candidate's CV in Mingle will be re-imported with the updated information from their profile.
