Assign a license to a new user in Recruiter

Who can use this feature?

Only user and license management admins can manage licenses, permissions, and roles on your LinkedIn Recruiter contract. To better secure your account, we encourage you to add a back-up admin by assigning admin permissions to a current or new user. This allows an additional user to manage your contract if you depart the company or go on extended leave. You can assign admin permissions to users with the Hiring Manager role without using a paid license.

As a user and license management admin, you can assign a license to a new user by taking the following steps:

Sign in to Recruiter.
Click your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter homepage and select Go to LinkedIn Admin Center from the dropdown.
On the Users tab, click Add users.
Select Add users by email from the dropdown.
Enter the email address in the textbox provided. Click to add the user.
Select the role to assign specific access and capabilities to the user.
Click Confirm.
- The user’s email address doesn’t need to be added and confirmed on their LinkedIn account.
- To add more than 100 users, cancel and select Add users by CSV from the Add Users dropdown in the Users tab.

Important to know

The number of times a license can be assigned is limited. This limit varies per contract. For example, an organization with 15 seats is allowed to assign 15 licenses every 30 days. Limits reset every 30 days from the organization’s contract start date and any unused assign actions don’t carry over to the next month.
