Step 2: Sync data between Lever and LinkedIn

  • Click the Begin Sync button. The syncing process can take up to 2 hours, depending on the number of postings in your account. You will not be able to use the integration until the sync is complete, however you can navigate away from the integration page while the sync is running. You will receive an in-app notification when the sync is complete.
