Add people from LinkedIn to Giig in one click.
Hey! Luke here, founder of Giig đ
The Giig Chrome extension lets you add candidates, contacts, companies and jobs straight from LinkedIn (and company websites) without copying and pasting a thing. It's part of Giig Plus and Giig AI.
Installing the extension
In Giig, click your profile picture in the top right, then Chrome Extension, then Download.
That opens the Chrome Web Store. Click Add to Chrome, then Add extension.
Click the jigsaw icon in Chrome's toolbar and hit the pin next to Giig.
Open the extension and log in with your normal Giig email and password.
Adding someone from LinkedIn
Go to someone's LinkedIn profile and open the extension.
Pick what you're adding: Candidate, Contact, Job or Company.
Giig fills in what it can from the page. Check the details, then click the orange Create button.
You'll see Success! and a View On Giig button to jump straight to the new record. It works on company websites too, and it's one profile at a time, because LinkedIn blocks anything in bulk.
What it can and can't grab
It only grabs an email if it's shown on the profile. It's not a data enrichment tool.
It checks the LinkedIn URL, so you won't add the same person twice.
A different spelling of a company name creates a new company. Fix it with Reassign To Company.
Seeing "John Doe"?
That means it couldn't read the page. Make sure Attempt Auto Extract on Open is switched on (orange), use Chrome rather than Edge, and switch off any ad blockers. Still stuck? Uninstall and reinstall, then send us a screenshot if it's still playing up.
đĄ Pro tip: pin it. If it's hidden behind the jigsaw icon, you'll forget it exists.

Look, software's only useful if it actually helps you place people faster, that's the whole point of Giig.
