Blue Octopus Recruitment is pleased to announce that it now offers full support of LinkedIn Job Wrapping, a feature that streamlines and simplifies the posting of new vacancies on LinkedIn.

The integration enables users of the next-generation Octo Platinum applicant tracking system (ATS) to increase their productivity when advertising their vacancies on the world’s biggest networking and recruitment social network.

The integration, which is easily added through Octo Platinum’s Marketplace of add-ons, will allow recruiters to automatically post their new roles to LinkedIn from within the ATS. According to a survey conducted by the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC), LinkedIn is the most popular social media platform for job seekers in the UK, with 78% of candidates using it to search for jobs in 2021, up from 63% in 2020. The survey also found that 92% of recruiters use LinkedIn to find candidates.

Chris Coleman, Director of Blue Octopus, said:
“We are delighted to further streamline the recruitment process for our valued clients. Blue Octopus places great emphasis on understanding our clients’ recruitment requirements, allowing us to provide them with enhanced value and visibility.

“An increasing number of job seekers are turning to the likes of LinkedIn for their next career opportunity, making it crucial for businesses to share their jobs on the platform. By integrating Octo Platinum ATS with LinkedIn Job Wrapping, companies can effortlessly reach top talent, without any additional effort on their end.”
