linkedin recruiter linkedin recruiter lite sales navigator how do i uninstall the extension? right click on the extension, then click manage extension click remove on the extension tile in your extension library how do i prevent duplicate candidates? the extension matches duplicates based on name, email address, and linkedin url if a linkedin url is found on the page, the extension will display the existing profile (if the name is common and the email does not come from linkedin) if no match is found based on the linkedin url, a new profile can be added once a profile is added, it

to jobs via the chrome extension? you need at least elevated access hiring manager permissions for the job in question in order to be able to add a candidate to the job our guide to permissions is at https //docs ashbyhq com/user permissions the extension has created candidates with incomplete experience/education is there a way to get that missing information into ashby? when adding the candidate via a social url we are creating the profile using publicly available information, which may at times be limited or outdated the alternative is to add the candidate via a pdf resume when adding a candidate via pdf resume download, we will reliably parse the entire work/education history of the candidate please note while it is technically easy to capture the entire linkedin profile in an extension reliably, that is not permitted by linkedin’s terms of service i' m seeing multiple source sites across job considerations for a candidate why? if you consider the candidate for one role while viewing their profile on linkedin, then the source site on their job consideration will be set to linkedin or linkedin recruiter if you then consider them for another role using the chrome extension while viewing their github profile, then the job consideration will be created with the source site listed as github this is expected behaviour the source site can be overridden for an application or job consideration if you transfer it to another role more on this at can i pin or view pinned notes via the chrome extension? yes each note will show an option to pin or unpin in the chrome extension any pinned notes will show at the top of the profile and feed sections in the extension
