# Linked In

You can navigate to a candidate profile from the [candidate search](/candidates/manage-candidates/candidate-search.md) or from a [context menu](/setup-your-account/introduction.md#context-menus) where the option is available.

Select the **Candidate->LinkedIn** Tab.

There are 2 ways you can link a candidate's LinkedIn profile. You can enter their public profile URL or search for their profile using their work email address.&#x20;

### 1. LinkedIn Profile URL

Go to the LinkedIn profile page for the candidate you wish to link.

For our example we are using Bill Gate's LinkedIn public profile page.

<https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/>

Copy and paste the URL from the browser address bar into the form, then press the save button.

### 2. Not the right profile?
