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.zip2
Install in Chrome (one-time)
- Right-click the downloaded zip → Extract All (Windows) or double-click (Mac)
- Open a new Chrome tab and go to
chrome://extensions - Toggle Developer mode on (top right of the page)
- Click Load unpacked
- Select the unzipped folder (named
recruitaicopilot-extension) — Chrome installs it - 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.
3
Get your connection token
- Sign in to your RecruitAICopilot account (your admin will have shared an invite)
- Open Settings → Chrome extension
- Click Generate extension token — copy the token (only shown once)
4
Connect the extension
- Click the R icon in your Chrome toolbar
- Paste your token into the input
- Click Connect— you'll see a green “ Connected” badge
5
Capture your first candidate
- Visit any LinkedIn profile (URLs that start with
linkedin.com/in/...) - A floating purple Capture button appears at the bottom-right of the page
- Click it. The button cycles Loading posts… → Capturing… → ✓ score. Takes about 30 seconds.
- 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).
