Zoho Recruit: Discontinue LinkedIn Data Parsing from July 31

Zoho Recruit's Next Chapter: Saying Goodbye to LinkedIn Resume Extraction (Starting July 31, 2025)

A New Direction for Smarter, Compliant Hiring

Big changes are coming to Zoho Recruit’s Resume Extractor. Starting July 31, 2025, users will no longer be able to pull candidate information directly from LinkedIn profiles using the browser extension.

Why the Change?

This decision aligns with LinkedIn's platform policies, which do not allow data extraction via browser tools. To ensure we stay compliant and future-focused, we’re stepping away from unsupported methods and working toward official integrations that are both reliable and scalable.

What's the Bigger Picture?

This transition isn’t just about removing a feature—it’s about building something better. Zoho laying the groundwork for:

  • Deeper and secure integrations with LinkedIn through approved channels

  • LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect (RSC) and more upcoming tools

  • A strong push to become an official LinkedIn premium partner

What’s in It for You?

Once these new integrations roll out, you’ll enjoy a much richer hiring experience:

  • Effortless data sync between LinkedIn and Zoho Recruit

  • Two-way activity sharing for more intelligent recruitment workflows

  • Cleaner, high-quality candidate data, driven by automation and policy compliance
