Shared from LinkedIn to Recruit

  • Candidates (when manually exported)

  • Candidate contact details (if shared via LinkedIn Recruiter)

  • InMails and notes (only those set to "Anyone in my organization" visibility in LinkedIn Recruiter)

Data deletion

Data shared between LinkedIn and Recruit is removed in the following cases:

  1. If a candidate deletes their LinkedIn account: InMail messages and notes imported to Recruit are deleted within 30 days.

  2. If a candidate is deleted from Recruit:

    • Any data synced from Recruit to LinkedIn is deleted.

    • InMails and notes imported from LinkedIn are also deleted.

    • If the candidate is later re-added to Recruit, their previous InMails and notes will not reappear in the LinkedIn activity view.

📝 Note: The pseudonymization setting in Recruit (if enabled) does not affect LinkedIn InMails or notes.
