LinkedIn Integration
On Pro and Enterprise, connect LinkedIn to publish from Canvider and pull applicants with Refresh Applicants. On Free, use the guided manual LinkedIn post so applications still land on your Canvider careers URL.
LinkedIn automation (Unipile connect, publish, applicant pull, and profile enrichment) requires Pro or Enterprise. After someone applies on LinkedIn, click Refresh Applicants on the People page to import them — applicants do not appear in your pipeline until you refresh. Free accounts can still reach LinkedIn candidates via the guided manual post flow. This is not LinkedIn Recruiter or InMail.
How do you sync LinkedIn with your ATS in Canvider?
On Pro and Enterprise, you connect your LinkedIn account to Canvider through Unipile, publish the job to LinkedIn from the ATS, then click Refresh Applicants on the People page to import everyone who applied into that job's pipeline, where they get AI CV screening like any other applicant. It is a pull you trigger, not a real-time push: nothing lands in Canvider until you refresh. The free Simple plan has no automated sync — it gives you a guided manual LinkedIn post instead.
- Connect LinkedIn (Pro or Enterprise) On a paid employer tier, open integration settings and authorize your LinkedIn account through Unipile. Free accounts skip this step and use guided manual posting.
- Create the job in Canvider Write or edit the job record first; Canvider stays the source of truth for the description and screening criteria. Salary is not part of the LinkedIn post payload, so keep any range in the description text.
- Publish to LinkedIn from the publish step Push the job live on LinkedIn without leaving the ATS, so the posting and the pipeline share one record.
- Click Refresh Applicants on the People page When people have applied on LinkedIn, hit Refresh Applicants to import that batch into the job's pipeline. LinkedIn profile fields merge into each candidate record on import.
- Screen the imported batch like any other applicant Imported LinkedIn applicants run through AI CV screening and your criteria the same way careers-page applicants do, so one ranked list covers every source.
How it works
- Connect LinkedIn (Pro or Enterprise) Authorize Canvider to publish on your company page and read applicants, or use guided manual posting on Free.
- Publish from Canvider Create or edit a job, then push it live to LinkedIn from the publish step.
- Click Refresh Applicants Import LinkedIn applications into the job pipeline; profile fields merge into each candidate record on import.
Why use it?
- Publish without leaving Canvider Push eligible jobs live to LinkedIn directly from the ATS on paid plans.
- Refresh when you are ready You control when LinkedIn applicants enter the pipeline — use Refresh Applicants after new applies.
- Context on import LinkedIn profile data merges into the candidate record when you refresh, so evaluation starts with context.
What LinkedIn integration is
Canvider's LinkedIn integration connects your company page and applicant flow to the ATS. You authorize LinkedIn once, publish eligible jobs from Canvider, and receive applications inside your pipeline with LinkedIn profile fields merged into the candidate record.
Teams use it when LinkedIn is a primary source for professional roles and manual copy-paste from Easy Apply creates errors and delays. Context arrives with the application: experience, skills, and headline data sit on the profile before you open the résumé PDF.
It is an ATS connector, not a separate LinkedIn Recruiter seat. Scope follows LinkedIn's APIs and your company's page permissions.
How LinkedIn integration works in Canvider
On Pro or Enterprise, connect LinkedIn from integration settings and grant publish and applicant read scopes your admin approves. Map the company page you hire under.
Create or edit a job in Canvider, then push to LinkedIn from the publish step. When someone applies on LinkedIn, open the People page and click Refresh Applicants to import them into the job pipeline.
Run CriteriaMatch or AI Score on the imported batch the same way you would for careers-page applicants. TalentPool tagging applies if you want to keep strong runners-up for later roles.
On the Free plan, use the guided manual LinkedIn post so candidates still apply through your Canvider careers URL without Unipile automation.
Honest limits
Automated LinkedIn connect, publish, applicant pull, and enrichment require Pro or Enterprise (tier 2+). Free keeps guided manual posting only.
Applicants do not sync continuously — you must click Refresh Applicants to import LinkedIn applies.
You need admin rights on the LinkedIn company page to connect. LinkedIn posting rules, limited listings, and geography caps still apply.
This integration is not LinkedIn Recruiter or InMail. Not every historical LinkedIn message thread imports.
In short
On Pro and Enterprise, connect LinkedIn to publish from Canvider and pull applicants when you click Refresh Applicants.
Free accounts still reach LinkedIn via the guided manual post — applications land on your Canvider careers URL.
LinkedIn automation is not LinkedIn Recruiter; applicants do not appear in Canvider until you refresh.

Frequently asked questions
- How do you sync LinkedIn with your ATS in Canvider?
- On Pro or Enterprise, connect your LinkedIn account through Unipile, publish the job to LinkedIn from Canvider, then click Refresh Applicants on the People page to import applicants into that job's pipeline, where they get AI CV screening like any other applicant. It is a manual pull, not a real-time push — nothing imports until you refresh. The free Simple plan has a guided manual LinkedIn post instead of automated sync.
- Do LinkedIn applicants skip the Canvider careers page?
- They apply on LinkedIn. They appear in Canvider after you click Refresh Applicants on the People page — not instantly on every apply.
- Is LinkedIn Recruiter included?
- No. This integration covers company job posting and applicant sync tied to your ATS workflow, not InMail seats sold separately by LinkedIn.
- Can I edit a job on LinkedIn only?
- Treat Canvider as the source of truth. Edit the job record in Canvider and republish so fields stay aligned with screening criteria.
- Does sync include profile photos and full PDFs?
- Profile fields LinkedIn exposes through the integration merge into the candidate record. Résumé files depend on what the applicant submitted with the application.
- What if authorization fails?
- Reconnect from integration settings with a LinkedIn admin account. Diagnostics in the product guide describe common token and page-permission errors.
