Overview
Instead of collecting applications on LinkedIn and manually inviting candidates, you can set up your LinkedIn job posting to send applicants directly to your Zeeda interview link using LinkedIn's "Apply on external website" feature.
This creates a seamless candidate experience: LinkedIn Job → Direct to Zeeda Interview
Setup Process
Step 1: Get Your Zeeda Interview Link
Create your job role in Zeeda
Click the "Invite" button
Copy your interview link:
Save this link - you'll need it for LinkedIn
Step 2: Create/Edit LinkedIn Job Posting
Go to LinkedIn Jobs or LinkedIn Talent Solutions
Click "Post a Job" or edit existing posting
Fill out your job details (title, description, requirements, etc.)
Step 3: Configure Application Method
When you reach the "How do you want to collect applications?" or “Manage Applicants” section:
Select "On an external website"
In the "Website Address" field, paste your Zeeda interview link:
Optional: Add custom application instructions (see example below)
Step 4: Customize Application Instructions
LinkedIn sometimes allows you to add instructions that candidates see before being redirected. Consider adding into both the job description and instructions:
Our application process starts with a conversational AI interview that takes about 15 minutes. This helps us get to know you better and ensures our next conversation is focused and valuable for both of us.
Technical Considerations
URL Validation
Test your link before publishing the job posting
Ensure the Zeeda interview link is active and accessible
No authentication required - candidates should access directly
Tracking & Analytics
Use LinkedIn's job analytics to track views and applications
Monitor Zeeda's dashboard for interview completions
Track the conversion rate from LinkedIn clicks to completed interviews
