Create an opportunity from a LinkedIn Jobs offer

When you view a job offer on LinkedIn Jobs, the Nicoka extension for Chrome can turn it into an opportunity in your CRM, without retyping anything. This is useful to keep track of companies that are hiring and to prospect them.

Before you start

• The Nicoka extension must be installed in Chrome and connected to your Nicoka account. See Step 4: Install the Chrome extension and import a candidate.
• The extension's Opportunity tab only appears if the CRM module is active and your rights allow you to create contacts.

Create the opportunity

1. On LinkedIn, open the detailed page of a job offer.
2. Open the Nicoka extension panel, then the Opportunity tab. The extension prefills the fields from the information shown on the offer.
3. In the Customer field, type the first letters of the company name: choose it if it already exists in Nicoka, otherwise choose Create a new Customer followed by the name you typed to create it at the same time.
4. Check and complete the suggested fields.
5. Click Save as a new Opportunity.

A message confirms the creation; the Show in Nicoka link opens the opportunity.

Find the opportunity in Nicoka

The opportunity is created in the CRM, linked to the chosen account: find it in CRM > Opportunities and on the account's record. You can then complete it, assign it and move it forward like any other opportunity.

Good to know

• If the ATS module is active, the extension also shows a Job tab on the same page: it lets you create a job from the offer.
• The information taken over depends on what LinkedIn displays on the offer: always check and complete the opportunity after creation.
