Importing talents from LinkedIn Recruiter

If you have been running a search in LinkedIn Recruiter, you can bring those candidates into your ama project and place them directly in the right outreach stage, so nobody gets messaged twice. Export them from Recruiter as CSV files and drop the files into ama. The video shows how.

In LinkedIn Recruiter

Section titled “In LinkedIn Recruiter”
  1. Open the project you want to export candidates from and go to Pipeline.
  2. Click the contacted stage to see everyone you already messaged.
  3. Tick the checkbox at the top to select everyone on the page.
  4. Click the three dots (···) and choose Save to CSV. The file downloads.

LinkedIn Recruiter exports 25 candidates at a time. If you contacted more than 25, go to the next page and repeat steps 3 and 4. You end up with one CSV file per page.

In ama

Section titled “In ama”
  1. Open your project and click the Add talents button (the person icon with a plus) at the top right of the talent list.
  2. Drop all your CSV files into Or drop CSV files here, or click it to browse. You can add several files at once, exactly as Recruiter exported them. There is no need to open them or copy the links out.
  3. ama lists the profiles it found. People who are already in the project show under Already added, so they are not imported twice.
  4. Next to Ready to import, choose the stage they should go to. For people you already contacted, pick the outreach stage they are in, for example InMail.
  5. Optionally add a tag, such as “Imported from LinkedIn Recruiter”, and click Import.

The people are added to the project, moved to that stage, and assessed against the role.

You only need to do this once. After you start doing your outreach through ama, you no longer need to go back and forth with LinkedIn Recruiter.
