Upload CSV files via LinkedIn Admin Center in Recruiter and Talent Hub

Last updated: 3 months ago

The CSV file upload feature in LinkedIn Admin Center allows LinkedIn Recruiter and Talent Hub admins to manage users in bulk.

The feature requires admins to download a template or a list of existing users from LinkedIn Admin Center and update it prior to uploading it in LinkedIn Admin Center. Additionally, CSV files must meet specific formatting requirements to successfully upload.

To upload a CSV file:

  1. Sign in to Recruiter.

  2. Move your cursor over your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter or Talent Hub homepage and select Go to LinkedIn Admin Center from the dropdown.

  3. On the Users tab, click Add new users and select Add users by CSV from the dropdown.

  4. Click Upload CSV in the pop-up window.

    Note: See "CSV file upload requirements via LinkedIn Admin Center in Recruiter" linked below to see an example of an acceptable CSV file.

  5. Select your CSV file to upload from your computer.

The file automatically uploads. After the upload is complete, you'll see the changes in LinkedIn Admin Center and on the user's enterprise profile.

You’ll receive an error message if data within your CSV file failed to upload. You can correct the errors and then upload the edited CSV file. A confirmation message will appear if your upload was successful.

Important to know

If you are trying to perform bulk actions on more than 2K users, to avoid long upload times, use one of the following methods: CSV uploads or Groups (segment users into separate sections and take bulk actions on them).
