CLARA screens, scores, and assesses candidates automatically — and when you combine that with LinkedIn's reach, you get a powerful sourcing and screening workflow without any extra manual effort. This guide walks you through how to connect your LinkedIn job posting directly to CLARA so every applicant flows straight into your pipeline.
Why use LinkedIn and CLARA together?
More visibility — post on the world's largest professional network and reach candidates who are actively looking
Smarter screening — CLARA screens resumes, scores for job match, and surfaces hidden talent using research-backed candidate assessments
Less manual review — spend less time sorting through applications and more time talking to the right people
How to set it up
Step 1: Get your CLARA application link
In CLARA, go to the Job Details page for the role you want to post.
Copy the Apply link for that job. It will look something like this:
You can find the Apply link here at any time:
If you haven't created a job yet, visit our Manually Uploading a Job in CLARA guide first.
Step 2: Create your LinkedIn job post
Go to LinkedIn Jobs and click Post a Job.
Fill in the job title, company, location, and any other basic details.
Step 3: Route applicants to CLARA
In Step 2 of LinkedIn's job setup, find the section labeled Receive qualified applicants.
Select At an external website under Receive applicants.
Paste your CLARA application link into the Website address field.
⚠️ Note: LinkedIn screening questions will not apply when using an external link. With CLARA, you don't need them — our assessments and scoring go deeper than LinkedIn's built-in questions ever could.
Step 4: Preview and publish
Click Preview to check everything looks right.
Click Continue, then complete and publish your job posting.
What happens next?
Once an applicant submits through your CLARA link, CLARA will automatically:
Scan the resume using ethical AI that digs deep into a candidate's skills and surfaces additional insights
Score applicants based on your specific role criteria
Highlight strengths like critical thinking, learning agility, and distance traveled
Your candidates will appear in CLARA ready for review — no manual importing needed.
Best Practices
💡 Use a clear call to action (CTA) in your job description. A CTA is a direct instruction that tells candidates exactly what to do next — for example: "Click the link below to apply and be considered for this role" or "Apply through our CLARA-powered portal to be reviewed for this position." Clear CTAs remove ambiguity, increase application completion rates, and ensure candidates know they're being directed to an external site to apply.
💡 Set expectations for candidates upfront. Let applicants know in your job description that they'll be assessed based on skills — not just experience. This builds transparency and attracts candidates who are confident in their abilities beyond their resume.
💡 Keep your CLARA job description detailed. The more specific your job requirements are in CLARA, the more accurately our AI can score and rank applicants. For guidance, visit our Best Practices for Writing a Job Description guide.
