Professional network LinkedIn has announced a new plug-in that enables jobseekers to submit their LinkedIn profile for job opportunities on an employer’s website.

Candidates click the Apply with LinkedIn button, and then can edit their profile before submitting or they can go directly to the one-click ‘Submit application’ button, which will automatically send the candidate’s public LinkedIn profile data to the employer or pre-populate the employer’s online employment application.

Applicants receive immediate confirmation of their submission and will be alerted to professional connections that could help them get hired at the company. Jobseekers can also manage any job submissions using the Apply with LinkedIn button when they go to their LinkedIn.com ‘Saved jobs’ tab to provide increased efficiency and organisation in their job search.

Companies can customise the plug-in and will be able to add up to three questions for the applicant to complete, such as a candidate’s willingness to relocate, option to add a cover letter or customised questions.

Firms interested in integrating the plug-in can download it free at https://developer.linkedin.com/apply.
