If we could be involved with the Beta testing for this feature that would be great.

Many thanks, Rob

Hi Drew,
Great news that this is nearly ready. I would like to be involved in the testing.
Thanks

We would like to take part in the test for LinkedIn

Yes, we would like to be involved in the beta testing. Thanks

Great stuff FF!
What would be the workflow when a candidate applies from a LinkedIn job slot.
This currently appears as an email in outlook and I then add candidate to FF via the little fishie!
Cheers, Ant

Hi Drew,

It's great news this is in development - do you have a rough idea as to when it's likely to be live?

Are we talking about a matter of weeks or months?

Thanks, Chris

Can you ensure that it also brings the individual's image (photo) with it.

Also, it is important that this option can also work with Clients and not just on the Candidates

This is really needed, most other CRM's already have this. Why are FF so behind?

From our companys point of view, we would want the option of using the photo rather than autmatically uploading. Our sector requires a good 'headshot' of the candidate for compliance purposes. We would want control over that photo and its quality

Completely support the other comments here - majority of our candidates are from LinkedIn and we need a quick option to upload directly into FF....ASAP

Alot of our new candidates and job applications come via LI but is time consuming manually adding to FF. Would be great if we could add in same way as from job boards. To be able to simply download a LI profile from their URL would also be really helpful

The Chrome extension is a great idea! Ideally, it should recognise if the LinkedIn profile is registered with our agency already - it could do this from the public profile's URL. It would save a lot of time checking manually :)

Visual enhancement to personalise record cards

Most other CRMs are now doing this or have it in the pipeline - even Zoho! Please push this up the roadmap priority

We are currently adding new contacts manually from LinkedIn which is time consuming.

Would it be possible if the database could have a link to pull certain information direct from LinkedIn to the Firefish database(a bit like it does when adding a CV). This would save us a lot of time.

Some other CRMs have a chrome extension so when you do a search within LinkedIn (not recruiter), you can see who is already on the database and then with a simple click add new candidates to the database. If you could then also consider for a job from a LinkedIn Search, that would be perfect!

As I use LinkedIn a lot to contact both Clients and Executives, it would be great if these could be imported into FireFish so as to track contact.

Here's an idea that can speed up the adding process:

It would be very helpful if there was a 'Linkedin Extraction' tool on Firefish when adding a "New Person".
Alternatively, this can also be a plugin added to our current Firefish plugin on our Outlook Emails.

If a Client or Candidate has a linkedin profile, all we have to do is copy the link to their linkedin profile to the Tool.

Mandatory Fields:
- Link to Linkedin Profile
- First Name
- Last Name
- Email

If a company they work for is already on Firefish, it will be filled in automatically with their title along with the dates they started/left.

The fields below can be optional:
- Current Employment: Title
- Current Employment: Company
- Remuneration: Temp/Perm Status
- Availability Fields: Notice, Available, Availability

Once the person has been added to firefish, all we have to do is code them up.

This will speed up the process.

What do you think?

Is this idea still in consideration? We spend so much time on linkedin and being able to update people into firefish would be a massive time saver.

Absolutely think this should happen. Some of the more basic CRM's have this ass in available and it is a huge time saver. A chrome plugin seems to be the usual way to include this.
