Mentioning other users in profile Notes

Last updated: 2 years ago

You can mention other users on your LinkedIn Recruiter dashboard within the Notes section on a candidate's profile. Mentions notify the user that your note might be relevant to them.

You can only mention users who have an active license on the contract.

To mention a user in your note on a candidate's profile in Recruiter:

  1. On a candidate's profile, under Recruiting Tools on the right rail, click the button next to Notes.

    • To mention a user in an existing note, click the Reply box under the note or click the Edit icon next to the note.
  2. Type “@” and then begin typing a name. You'll see a list of potential people you can mention in the dropdown.
  3. Click the name of the person you want to mention from the list and continue entering your message.

  4. Mentions will follow the same visibility as the note that contains the mention. You can't select Only me if you are mentioning another user. Select one of the following visibility options under Make this note visible to:
    • Only me – Only you can see the note
    • Anyone in my organization – All users on the dashboard can see the note
  5. Click Add.

    • If the user you're mentioning doesn't have current access to the project that the candidate is in, you'll receive a message asking you to confirm that you want to invite them to your project.

The user you mention will receive an email notification. It may take up to five minutes for the recipient to receive the email.
