Edit message templates in Recruiter

Last updated: 2 months ago

Message templates in LinkedIn Recruiter are used to send bulk communications to candidates without having to rewrite the same message repeatedly. To help keep your response rate high, review the contact preferences of each LinkedIn member prior to sending a message. You can edit a template in Product settings or while composing a message on a candidate's profile.

If an admin on your contract turns off automated follow-up messages, all associated templates, including 2-message templates, won't display under Product settings or while composing a message.

To edit a message template:
  1. Move your cursor over your profile picture at the upper right corner of your Recruiter homepage and select Product settings from the dropdown.

  2. Click Message templates on the left rail.
  3. Under My Message Templates, move your cursor over the template and click the Edit icon.
  4. Make changes to the template name, subject line, message, or visibility.

  5. Click Update to overwrite the existing template or click Save as new template to create a new template with your changes.

    • If you're saving the template as a new template, enter the new name and under Make this template visible to, select Only me or Anyone in my organization.

Click the  Cancel icon in the top right corner of the message window to go back without saving your changes.

Important to know

You can delete a message template you own, but you cannot delete another member's message template on your contract. Additionally, admins can view and delete message templates set to Anyone in my organization under the visibility settings; however, they cannot view or delete message templates set to Only me.
