You can manually set up a saved search alert for any project in LinkedIn Recruiter and Recruiter Lite. Saved search alerts notify you when new candidates match your search criteria. These alerts appear through push notifications, email updates, and in Notifications at the top of your homepage or at the bottom of your Recruiter mobile app navigation bar.
Here's a tip
Similar to a manually-configured saved search alert, Recruiter's automated search alerts appear as push notifications and email updates for your projects with the most engagement. To configure settings for Automated search alerts for your Projects with most engagement, see "Activate automated search alerts for your Projects with most engagement in Recruiter" in the Related tasks section below.
Your saved search criteria can include keyword strings and filter refinements that you later can modify. In Recruiter you can save as many searches as you'd like, and in Recruiter Lite you can save up to 10 searches.
Important to know
Ensure your Saved search alerts notification setting in Product settings are "On" to receive saved search push notifications in the LinkedIn Recruiter app. If you opt to receive search alerts, our system will run your search every 24 hours.
You can manage your saved searches from the global search bar or from your project.
