LinkedIn Setup - Not Currently working in 9.x or 10.x
In order to have LinkedIn send profile information to Cyber Recruiter, your site has to be authenticated by LinkedIn. More information on this process can be found on LinkedIn at the following site: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/apply-with-linkedin. Visibility Software has done the hard work of the programming the integration but there is one thing we can't do for you which is to request the access from LinkedIn for your specific organization. In order to do this, there are two steps.
Step 1: Set up a unique API with LinkedIn
When accessing the developer site (https://www.linkedin.com/secure/developer), the following information will be presented. For the purposes of this integration, anything related to the 'Developer' should be information regarding someone at your company and not Visibility Software.
If you need additional information or clarification related to the LinkedIn development of an App, this site will be helpful. https://developer.linkedin.com/apply-getting-started

| Description |
Whatever you wish to call this - e.g. Careers Site, Job Site, etc. |
| Website URL |
Enter the URL to this page in Help Central. Click on "Link" in the header to get the actual URL for this page.
|

| Default Scope Fields |
Check the following: r_fullprofile, r_network, r_emailaddress, r_contactinfo |
| OAuth 2.0 Accept Redirect URLs |
This must be the URL for your Cyber Recruiters careers site with the addition of /ApplyWithLinkedInReturn.aspx.
The result should look like "https://www.yoursite.com/careers/ApplyWithLinkedInReturn.aspx"
but without the quotation marks and replacing "https://www.yoursite com/careers" with the actual location/URL of your careers page.
The format of the link in the Self Service module must match. So, if the link to the careers site is "https://www.yoursite.com/careers" then the link in the Self Service module needs to also be "https://www.yourwebsite/careers/AppSelfService.aspx" |
| OAuth 1.0 Accept Redirect URL |
Leave this blank |
| OAuth 1.0 Cancel Redirect URL |
Enter the URL for the main careers site or leave blank |
| App Logo Secure URL |
Enter the URL if there is a logo in secure location which can be accessed. |
| Agreement Language |
Select "Browser Locale Setting" |
| JavaScript API Domain |
Enter the URL for the main careers site or leave blank |
| OS X Application Bundle Id: |
Leave this blank |
Step 2: Request Access from LinkedIn
Make sure you are not logged into LinkedIn or you will not be able to complete this form accurately.
This step could take up to 15 days for approval. The setup in Cyber Recruiter can be done prior to final approval from LinkedIn. Once approval is granted from LinkedIn, the feature will be officially activated.
Go to the following site: https://help.linkedin.com/app/ask/path/api-dvr
A request form will appear. Complete the form for your organization. If there are specific values which should be used, they have been noted in the "Specifics" column.
