How to Leverage LinkedIn Recruiter with Cloud Kennect

Learn how to utilize the different platforms in a way they can support each other


Can Recruiter be used alongside Cloud Kennect?

Yes! Many companies discover they no longer need Recruiter when using Cloud Kennect, but there are ways to leverage them together. 

Are there any obstacles?

Recruiter requires 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) to log in, which will continuously cause it to disconnect from Cloud Kennect. We recommend choosing 1-2 days a week for Recruiter activities. The you can turn off 2FA, re-sync with Cloud Kennect if needed, and run your sequences the rest of the week. 

Can I use Recruiter links to create sequences?

No. Recruiter links are not compatible with Cloud Kennect. However, you can download lists as CSV files (keep reading!), which can then be uploaded as your sequence source. You still have the option of creating a hyper-targeted search in your regular LinkedIn (Learn how to search for your target audience on LinkedIn)
