Last updated: 3 months ago

The CSV file upload feature allows admins to assign different licenses and permissions to existing users in bulk on your LinkedIn Recruiter contract via LinkedIn Admin Center.

  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. Select Manage users via CSV > Download all users via CSV, or, if you want a filtered list, select Download filtered users via CSV.

    To download specific users, you can filter by licenses, permissions, and attributes by clicking the box and selecting from the dropdown.

  4. Open the file using text editing software on your device.

  5. Enter active or inactive under each license and permissions column. The value entered in the columns will determine the action taken for each user.

  6. Save as a CSV file on your device.

  7. Upload the file in LinkedIn Admin Center.

A confirmation message will appear if your upload was successful.

We'll send an invitation email to prompt users to activate their license. The link in the activation email is available for 7 days.
