🔎 What does the browser extension do?
The Recruit Robin browser extension allows users to connect their LinkedIn and Indeed accounts to Robin. This enables Robin, always on instruction from the user, to perform actions on their behalf such as:
• finding candidates on LinkedIn and Indeed • sending messages to candidates • enriching profiles and synchronizing them with Robin
The extension helps recruiters find and contact candidates more quickly, without switching manually between different platforms.
⚙️ How does the extension work?
Users install the extension through the Chrome Web Store.
Through the extension, Robin can log in to LinkedIn and Indeed on behalf of the user.
After logging in, Robin can search for candidates, enrich profiles and send messages whenever the recruiter requests it.
The recruiter always initiates the action. Robin never performs actions without explicit user permission.
🛡️ How does Robin ensure safety?
Robin is built according to strict privacy and security principles.
• No automatic actions Robin never performs actions unless the user starts or confirms them.
• No storage of login credentials LinkedIn and Indeed login details are not stored by Robin. They are used only once to log in through the extension.
• Encrypted data flows All communication between Robin, the browser extension and external platforms is encrypted.
• Only relevant data is processed The extension reads only the information required for Robin’s functionality. No unrelated browsing history is collected or monitored.
🛡️ Which permissions does the extension request?
Depending on your Chrome policy, you may see permissions such as:
• Reading and modifying data on visited websites Required to identify and enrich candidate profiles on LinkedIn and Indeed.
• Communication with external APIs (Robin) Required to retrieve and synchronize data with the Robin platform.
• Allowing pop ups and redirects Needed for actions such as matches, profile views and login flows.
• Local storage and session management Ensures users do not need to log in repeatedly.
Robin uses these permissions only to support and automate recruitment processes, never for tracking or monitoring.
✅ How to approve the extension
Option 1 – Through Chrome Enterprise or Google Admin
Log in to the Google Admin Console.
Go to Devices → Chrome → Apps and extensions.
Add the Recruit Robin extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Set the policy to Force install or Allow install.
Assign the policy to the correct OU or user group.
After this, the extension becomes automatically available to users.
Option 2 – Local browser settings (for smaller teams)
If you do not use a central Chrome policy, users can install the extension themselves via:
👉 Chrome Web Store Search for: Recruit Robin
Note: this only works if extension installation is not blocked by policy.
⚠️ Common issues
