As competition for talent remains fierce, it’s more important than ever to quickly connect with the right candidates.“Apply with LinkedIn" simplifies the application process, increasing conversion rates and reducing drop-off—while keeping recruitment in one place.
What is Apply with LinkedIn?
Apply with LinkedIn is an integration that lets LinkedIn members apply for jobs directly from job ads or career sites using their LinkedIn profiles. When candidates click "Apply with LinkedIn," common application fields—like name, contact details, location, work experience, and education—are automatically pre-populated using LinkedIn profile data.
Candidates can then review and edit the pre-filled fields, answer any additional questions, and submit their applications. Unlike "Connect with LinkedIn", recruiting teams will get more than just the applicant’s name, email and picture. And depending on individual privacy settings, candidate LinkedIn profiles may also be accessible to hiring teams.
Not all applicant tracking systems (ATS) support this functionality, but for recruiters and hiring managers looking to quickly be matched with top talent, it’s a game-changer.
Good for conversion and candidate experience
A common complaint from candidates is how long and repetitive applications processes can be. In fact, 60% of job seekers fail to submit an application due to long and difficult processes. Apply with LinkedIn reduces the amount of manual data entry and increases the changes of candidates completing their applications. When given a head start, candidates are more likely to finish—and less likely to drop off when they can see the finish line.
Plus, all candidate data is stored in Jobylon, so recruiting teams can easily see LinkedIn profiles and completed applications directly in our ATS.

- Connect faster with talent: Submitted applications appear immediately in Jobylon, so you can quickly connect with qualified candidates.
