    • Partial match: Recognizes job titles that contain some elements of the specified title, allowing for variations in wording and order.

  6. After defining the trigger, choose the Actions to be taken:

    • Apply a LinkedIn-matched job title: Matches the ATS job title with LinkedIn's recognized titles.
    • Set an employment type: Specify employment types like full-time or part-time.
    • Add skills (up to 10): Include relevant skills for the job.
    • Add a job function (up to 3): Indicate up to three job functions related to the job title.
