Recruitera's LinkedIn credits let Pro and Enterprise users source candidates directly from LinkedIn through the Recruitera integration. Each credit unlocks one LinkedIn candidate profile — giving you access to their full contact details and allowing you to add them to your pipeline as a sourced candidate. Credits reset monthly and differ by plan.

How LinkedIn credits work in Recruitera
Recruitera's LinkedIn integration allows recruiters to browse LinkedIn profiles and unlock specific candidates for sourcing. Each time you unlock a profile, one credit is consumed from your monthly allowance. The profile's contact information and details are pulled into Recruitera and the candidate can be added directly to a job pipeline. Credits reset at the start of each month — unused credits do not carry over.
LinkedIn active job postings vs. LinkedIn profile unlocks
These are two separate LinkedIn-related limits in Recruitera. Active LinkedIn job postings control how many jobs you can simultaneously post directly to LinkedIn from Recruitera (Basic: 1, Pro: 3, Enterprise: 10). LinkedIn profile unlocks are sourcing credits used to access individual candidate profiles for outreach and pipeline addition — these are only available on Pro and Enterprise plans.
💡 LinkedIn credits are best used for high-priority or hard-to-fill roles where inbound applications are insufficient. Pro users get 10 per month — focus them on senior or specialized roles where passive candidate sourcing makes the most difference.
Frequently asked questions
What are LinkedIn credits in Recruitera and how do I use them?
LinkedIn credits in Recruitera are monthly sourcing credits that let you unlock full LinkedIn candidate profiles directly from the platform. Each credit reveals one candidate's contact details and adds them to your Recruitera pipeline as a sourced candidate. Pro plans include 10 credits per month and Enterprise includes 50. Credits are consumed per profile unlocked and reset at the start of each month. Basic plan users do not have access to LinkedIn profile unlocks.
Do LinkedIn credits in Recruitera carry over if unused?
LinkedIn profile unlock credits in Recruitera reset monthly and unused credits do not carry over. If your Pro plan includes 10 credits per month and you only use 6 in a given month, the remaining 4 expire and you start the next month with a fresh 10. Plan your sourcing activities for the month accordingly to get the most value from your monthly credit allowance.
Does the Basic plan include LinkedIn sourcing credits in Recruitera?
Recruitera's Basic plan does not include LinkedIn profile unlock credits. Basic users can post 1 active job to LinkedIn per month through the integration, but cannot unlock individual LinkedIn candidate profiles for sourcing. LinkedIn profile unlocks are a Pro and Enterprise feature — Pro includes 10 per month and Enterprise includes 50. To access LinkedIn sourcing credits, upgrade to the Pro or Enterprise plan.
