View Recommended Matches in Recruiter and Recruiter Lite

Last updated: 2 months ago

Recommended Matches are candidate recommendations tailored to your active project in LinkedIn Recruiter based on your sourcing activity in your project. When Recommended Matches are identified for your project, three recommended candidate profile cards will appear at the bottom of the candidate list in your project’s Talent pool tab and Pipeline tab. You can save, hide, or message a candidate from their candidate profile card. The Recommended Matches list will refresh automatically with new recommendations after you act on a candidate’s profile.

Who can use this feature?

You must have Hiring Project Creator permission and full project access to view a project’s Recommended Matches.

  2. Click the Talent pool tab.

  3. Click Show filters on the left to expand the search filters.

Important to know

Based on your activity, you may receive notifications of Recommended Matches if you've accessed a project, even if you're not the project owner. If you've received a notification in Recruiter but are unable to view the Recommended Matches, you may need to request project access from the project owner.
