Sourcing & Networking

TalentProof + LinkedIn

Verify skills for candidates you source on LinkedIn

What is LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network, used by recruiters for talent sourcing, InMail outreach, job posting, and employer branding.

Better Together

LinkedIn tells you what candidates claim. TalentProof tells you what they can actually do. Send sourced candidates a TalentProof assessment link to verify skills before investing in interviews — turning LinkedIn profiles into proven, scored talent.

How It Works

1

Source candidates on LinkedIn

Use LinkedIn Recruiter, InMail, or job posts to identify and engage promising candidates as you normally would.

2

Share a TalentProof assessment link

Include your TalentProof assessment URL in your outreach. Candidates can complete it in 15-25 minutes — no account required.

3

Candidates earn a Skill Scorecard

Each candidate receives a verified Skill Quadrant Scorecard they can also add to their LinkedIn profile — making the assessment a value-add, not a hurdle.

4

Interview only verified talent

Review skill scores, trust ratings, and AI cheat-detection results in your TalentProof dashboard before scheduling any interviews.

Why Add TalentProof to LinkedIn?

Go beyond LinkedIn endorsements

LinkedIn skill endorsements are unverified. TalentProof Scorecards are AI-proctored, cheat-detected, and objectively scored.

Candidates benefit too

Candidates get a shareable Skill Scorecard they can attach to their LinkedIn profile — making your outreach feel valuable, not transactional.

Filter passive candidates faster

For passive candidates who look great on paper, a quick TalentProof assessment confirms whether their skills match their profile before you invest interview time.

Reduce sourcing waste

Stop scheduling interviews with LinkedIn candidates who can't back up their profile. Screen first, interview second.

How to Integrate Today (No API Needed)

TalentProof works with LinkedIn right now — no technical setup required. Here are the ways recruiters connect the two platforms manually:

Paste link in your job description

Add your TalentProof assessment URL directly in the LinkedIn job posting. Candidates see it when they apply and can self-assess immediately.

Include in auto-reply or follow-up emails

Set up your LinkedIn auto-reply or manual follow-up to include the assessment link. Only candidates who complete it move forward.

Share via LinkedIn's messaging

Use LinkedIn's built-in chat or messaging feature to send the assessment link to shortlisted candidates directly.

Attach scorecard links to candidate profiles

Once a candidate completes their assessment, paste their Skill Scorecard URL into their LinkedIn profile notes for your team to review.
