How to Import from LinkedIn

You can import data from LinkedIn in two ways: connecting your account via OAuth, or uploading a PDF export. For the most complete import, use both methods.

Method 1: Connect via OAuth

The quickest way to get started. Connecting your LinkedIn account imports:

• Name — your first and last name
• Profile picture — your LinkedIn photo

To connect: go to the Import page, click Connect LinkedIn, and authorize the connection. Your data will be imported automatically.

Method 2: Upload LinkedIn PDF

For a more complete import including your work history and education, upload your LinkedIn profile as a PDF. Here's how to download it:

1. Go to your LinkedIn profile page
2. Click the More button (next to "Open to")
3. Select Save to PDF
4. Save the downloaded file

Then on the Import page, click Upload LinkedIn PDF and select the file. This imports:

• Education — degrees, institutions, and dates
• Work experience — positions, companies, and dates

Which Method Should I Use?

For the best results, use both methods. OAuth gives you your name and profile picture, while the PDF import brings in your education and experience history. They complement each other.
