How recruiters can integrate LinkedIn Recruiter and HubSpot

HubSpot isn’t just for sales and marketing teams; recruiters can use the HubSpot CRM too.

Why not, after all? HubSpot lets you manage contacts, create lists, and move them from one stage to the next. It’s the perfect substitute for an applicant tracking system, especially if your sales team already uses one.

If you’re using LinkedIn Recruiter to source candidates, manage them through your pipeline, and track applicants, then it seems that LinkedIn and HubSpot would be a perfect match. Can you integrate HubSpot with LinkedIn’s recruiting tools? We’ll show you how to do just that in this guide.

How recruiters can use HubSpot and LinkedIn

HubSpot is a fantastic CRM for sales and marketing teams, but it works just as well for recruiters.

Sales teams use HubSpot to manage prospects, move deals through stages, track communication, and automate messaging. Recruiters can do the same. 

Recruiting teams can use HubSpot to…

• Collect applicants for job postings
• Track applicants as they move through your recruitment pipeline
• Log emails back and forth between prospective hires
• Enroll applicants in automated messaging based on triggers in the recruitment process

When you match that with LinkedIn Recruiter’s ability to source candidates for your open roles, run AI-powered searches, and track candidates as they move through your pipeline, the pair is a match made in heaven for hiring teams.

Can you integrate them, though? We’ll answer that next.

Does HubSpot’s LinkedIn integration work with LinkedIn Recruiter?

HubSpot is a fantastic CRM, and LinkedIn Recruiter is one of the top talent sourcing platforms on the web. It’d make sense that the two should work together, right?

After all, HubSpot does offer a few LinkedIn integrations. 

There’s just one small problem: HubSpot’s LinkedIn integrations don’t offer any support for recruiters. The HubSpot LinkedIn integrations are a bit limited in what they can do. Your two options are:

1. LinkedIn CRM Sync: Allows you to connect leads and accounts and log activities like InMails and connection requests to HubSpot contact records.
2. LinkedIn Sales Navigator: Only works for Sales Navigator (and the higher-tier plans) while allowing you to sync leads, connection requests, and InMail.

Neither of these native HubSpot integrations is particularly well-liked (both have fewer than ⅗ stars), but more importantly, they don’t integrate with LinkedIn Recruiter.

You’re in luck, though. Next, we’ll share the best option for recruiters to integrate HubSpot with LinkedIn.
