Linkedin And Career
LinkedIn and your career profile
Real-life scenario
Sam keeps LinkedIn current because recruiters look there first. Sam also uses hivi for long application forms. After a promotion, Sam updates LinkedIn, then uses the extension’s LinkedIn import on Sam’s own profile page so hivi’s structured fields match the public story. Sam reviews the mapping screen for small differences (LinkedIn summaries are shorter than a full CV paragraph).
How hivi helps
- Import pulls what is visible on your profile (for example headline, experience blocks, education, skills)—profile sections only; private messaging in LinkedIn stays there.
- You confirm before data is saved to your hivi person record.
- Combined with a CV upload when you need deeper detail, you can keep both “short public” and “long application” worlds in sync.
On the Import Your Profile page
The LinkedIn card on Import Your Profile explains that the Chrome extension is part of the setup. Install hivi autofill, visit your profile URL, and use the import action from the extension when offered.
