Install the Chrome extension

Takes about 3 minutes. Walks you through downloading the extension, installing it in Chrome, connecting your account, and capturing your first candidate.

Already signed in? You can do this from Settings → Chrome extension — same instructions, with the token-generation step inline.

1

Download the extension

Click the button to download a small zip file (~30 KB).

Download recruitaicopilot-extension.zip
2

Install in Chrome (one-time)

  1. Right-click the downloaded zip → Extract All (Windows) or double-click (Mac)
  2. Open a new Chrome tab and go to chrome://extensions
  3. Toggle Developer mode on (top right of the page)
  4. Click Load unpacked
  5. Select the unzipped folder (named recruitaicopilot-extension) — Chrome installs it
  6. The Ricon appears in your Chrome toolbar. Click the puzzle-piece icon to pin it so it's always visible.

Why Developer mode?

The extension isn't on the Chrome Web Store yet — we're in private beta. Loading it manually is the standard path until we publish. Your data and credentials stay on your machine.

5

Capture your first candidate

  1. Visit any LinkedIn profile (URLs that start with linkedin.com/in/...)
  2. A floating purple Capture button appears at the bottom-right of the page
  3. Click it. The button cycles Loading posts… → Capturing… → ✓ score. Takes about 30 seconds.
  4. Click the button again to open the candidate's detail page in your dashboard, with the AI's ranking, signals, and drafted opener

Troubleshooting

The Capture button doesn't appear on a profile
Hard-refresh the LinkedIn tab with Ctrl+Shift+R. LinkedIn's page lifecycle sometimes prevents the extension from injecting on first navigation.
“Extension context invalidated” error
Happens when the extension is reloaded while a LinkedIn tab is open. Refresh the LinkedIn tab to fix.
“Token not recognized”
Your token may have been rotated. Go to Settings → click Rotate token → paste the new one into the extension popup.
Score comes out lower than expected
The AI looks at posts to detect career-change signals. If LinkedIn lazy-loaded the Activity section, scrolling helps (the extension does this automatically, but slow connections may need a second click).
