Install
Install ScoutHR from its official Chrome Web Store listing. Pin it from Chrome's Extensions menu, open an authorized individual LinkedIn profile, then open ScoutHR from the toolbar. Do not install copied ZIP or unpacked builds unless you are an authorized ScoutHR tester.
Connect or switch workspace
Choose Connect and complete the first-party ScoutHR sign-in flow. If your account belongs to multiple workspaces, select one before reading or saving. A workspace change clears the current draft so data cannot cross workspace boundaries.
Read and save
On a supported visible LinkedIn profile, choose Read profile, review the structured draft, and choose Save person. Load missing profile sections before refreshing when practical. If ScoutHR names incomplete evidence, review the warning and acknowledge it explicitly before saving.
Update
Chrome updates Web Store extensions automatically. If ScoutHR says an update is required, open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode only if your administrator permits it, choose Update, then reopen the LinkedIn profile. Never sideload an unverified package over the official item.
Disconnect or uninstall
Choose Disconnect in the panel to revoke the extension session and clear trusted local auth. To uninstall, open Chrome's Extensions menu, choose Manage extensions, select ScoutHR, and choose Remove. Uninstall clears browser-local extension storage; a bounded server-side session expiry remains the safety net if uninstall cannot notify ScoutHR.
Export, correct, or delete candidate data
LinkedIn-sourced candidates use ScoutHR's ordinary candidate privacy workflow. An authorized workspace administrator can use the candidate privacy controls to preview and execute an export, correct the person record, or apply anonymization/deletion subject to legal hold and the organization's lawful obligations. Contact your Scout workspace administrator if you do not have that permission.
Troubleshoot safely
If capture is unsupported, confirm the tab is an individual profile on a supported LinkedIn path. If the draft is stale, return to the intended profile and read again. If offline or unauthorized, reconnect after checking ScoutHR status. Do not send screenshots containing candidate data, tokens, cookies, or browser credentials. Share only the safe request reference shown by ScoutHR and the extension version from chrome://extensions.
Manual account steps
ScoutHR does not automatically send LinkedIn messages, connection requests, reactions, comments, follows, candidate-facing communication, or hiring decisions. If a CAPTCHA, authentication challenge, wrong account, or unexpected LinkedIn control appears, stop and complete only the normal human account step.
