Checking the Status of the Apply Connect Integration

Once you've completed the activation steps for Apply Connect within ClearCompany, the two systems will complete a syncing process to finalize the connection. This sync could take a matter of minutes to a few hours, depending on the size of your organization's data.

When the sync is complete, you see a green ENABLED status on the LinkedIn Integration Status page within ClearCompany.

After Enabling the Apply Connect Integration

Once the integration is successfully enabled, any Open and Publicly posted requisitions in ClearCompany will default to also be posted on LinkedIn with an embedded application process. If any existing Open requisitions should not be posted on LinkedIn, we recommend editing the Posting Options for those requisitions and toggling Off the LinkedIn Job Board option.

More information on the Apply Connect features, such as Automatic Job Posting, can be found in this article.
