Set InMail usage limits in Recruiter

Last updated: 3 months ago

Who can use this feature?

This feature is only available for Recruiter Corporate or Recruiter Professional Services (RPS) contracts. InMail usage limits can only be placed on Hiring Project Creators licenses with search permissions.

InMail usage limits allow LinkedIn Recruiter admins to restrict the number of InMail credits that can be used per month. From the Product settings page in Recruiter, an admin can choose to apply the limit to all users or to specific users on your contract. By default, no usage limit is set for users. If an admin chooses to limit specific users, the admin must also apply the limit from LinkedIn Admin Center. Recruiters on your contract can track InMail usage limits on the Usage overview page in Product settings.

Important to know

InMail Usage limits align with your contract's monthly InMail Refresh Date. All InMails sent by a seat holder after the most recent InMail Refresh date will count toward the individual seat holder's InMail Usage Limit. InMail Usage Limits will reset on the monthly InMail Refresh date specific to your contract.

To set InMail usage limits:

  1. Sign in to Recruiter.

  2. Click your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter homepage and select Go to LinkedIn Admin Center from the dropdown. 

  3. Click Preferences on the left pane.

  4. On the Preferences page, click Edit to the right of InMail usage limit.
  5. Choose Limit all seats to limit all users.
    • Select Limit specific seats to limit individual users. Follow the steps outlined below to apply the limit from LinkedIn Admin Center.
    • Select No seats limited (default) to remove the limit.
  6. Enter the maximum number of InMail messages users can send per month.
  7. Click Save.

If you’ve followed the steps above to limit specific seats (users), you can assign the limit to a single user or to multiple users from LinkedIn Admin Center.

To set InMail usage limits for one or more users:

  1. Sign in to Recruiter.

  2. Click your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter homepage and select Go to LinkedIn Admin Center from the dropdown.

  4. Click the checkbox next to the user(s).

  5. Click Edit attributes in the actions menu at the bottom of the page.
