Adding social profile links to your candidates, companies & contacts

Written by Sanjana Panigrahi

What this feature does and when to use it?

Social profile links in Recruit CRM allow you to store and access multiple social media profiles directly within candidate, contact, and company records.

You can open these profiles instantly, add custom platforms with your own icons, and control which fields are visible to your team, helping you keep records organized, relevant, and easy to navigate.

You can use this feature when you want to:

• Quickly access Social Media profiles from within a record.
• Keep all relevant social links organized in one place.
• Add custom social platforms to suit your unique requirements.
​

Before you begin:

• You need access to candidate, contact, or company records.
• Admin Settings access is required to create and manage custom social fields.

Step-by-step instructions

From the edit form

1. To add social profile links, open the specific record and click on the pencil icon to edit.
​

2. This will open the Edit Record form for that record. In the edit form, scroll down to the Social Profile Links section. Here, you can paste the relevant URLs. By default, fields are available for platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Xing, and GitHub.


Once added, click Submit to save the changes.

Create custom social profile fields

You can create custom social profile fields with their own icons, in addition to the default ones provided by Recruit CRM.

  1. Go to Admin Settings → Data Customization and select record type (Candidate / Contact / Company)

  2. Click + New Custom Field
    ​

  3. Enter field name (e.g. Telegram, Threads, etc)

  4. Set field type → Social Profile
    ​

  5. Upload a logo to represent the platform. This logo appears as the icon on the record. If you need to download social media logos, you can use Brandfetch to find and download logos for different platforms.

  6. Click Save to create the field.

Control visibility of social profile fields

You can control which social profile fields are visible on the Edit form and profile view. For example, if you only want to see Xing and LinkedIn and hide Twitter, Facebook, or GitHub because they are not relevant, you can change their visibility.


To adjust visibility:

  1. Go to Admin Settings → Data Customization and then select the required record type (Candidate, Contact, or Company)

  2. Scroll to the Social Profile Links section

  3. Toggle fields ON or OFF based on your preference

  4. Click Save to apply the changes
    ​

Fields that are turned off will no longer appear on the add or edit form.
