My LinkedIn Recruiter Search Doesn't Work In The Botdog Import

Here's a quick fix that works every time.

The Solution: Use Saved Searches

Instead of trying to import your long search directly, save it first in LinkedIn Recruiter:

Run your search in LinkedIn Recruiter
Click the "Save search" button at the top of your results
Fill in:

Search name
Project name

Click "Save"

How to Use Your Saved Search in Botdog

Go to "Saved searches" in LinkedIn Recruiter
Click on your saved search to open it
Copy the URL from your browser
Import this URL into Botdog like you would with any other LinkedIn search

That's it! Your complex search will now work perfectly.

Why This Works

Saved searches in LinkedIn Recruiter are processed differently than direct searches, making them more stable and reliable when importing into Botdog. While we're working on supporting all types of direct searches, this is the most reliable workaround for now.
