As competition for talent remains fierce, it’s as crucial as 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—such as name, contact details, location, work experience, and education—are automatically pre-populated with data from their LinkedIn profile.
Candidates can then review and edit the pre-filled fields, answer any additional questions, and submit their applications. Depending on individual privacy settings, candidate LinkedIn profiles may also be accessible to hiring teams. Unlike "Connect with LinkedIn", recruiting teams will get more than just the applicant’s name, email and picture.
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 that application processes are long and repetitive. In fact, 60% of job seekers abandon an application due to lengthy, cumbersome experiences. Apply with LinkedIn reduces the friction caused by redundant data entry and increases application conversion rates for each position.
Candidates are more likely to complete applications when they are given a head start and less likely to drop off when they can see the finish line. Plus, all candidate data is stored in Jobylon, allowing easy access to LinkedIn profiles and completed applications directly through our ATS.

- Simplified application process: Candidates can easily make progress on applications with just one click on your job ads or career site.
- Faster connection with talent: Submitted applications appear immediately in Jobylon, helping you quickly connect with qualified candidates.
- Boosted conversion and reduced drop-off rates: Increase application submissions by reducing the time and effort needed to complete applications.
