# Linked In

You can navigate to a candidate profile from the [candidate search](https://docs.kisrec.com/candidates/manage-candidates/candidate-search) or from a [context menu](https://docs.kisrec.com/setup-your-account/introduction#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.
