Steps
Review LinkedIn's Talent product catalog to identify which of the four gated products matches your use case: Apply Connect (real-time applications), Apply with LinkedIn, the Job Posting API, or Recruiter System Connect (RSC) for syncing ATS data into LinkedIn Recruiter.
Confirm none of these are self-serve — all require completing LinkedIn's Talent Solutions Partner Request Form and signing an API agreement before any credentials are issued.
Scope your request narrowly (e.g. RSC only if you need bidirectional Recruiter sync) since approval is product-specific, not a blanket "LinkedIn API" grant.
Plan for a partner review/vetting timeline before any development work can begin against production endpoints.
Known gotchas
Unlike some LinkedIn product lines (e.g. Marketing) that offer an open self-test development tier, Talent Solutions has no such open tier — everything is gated.
Requesting the wrong product (e.g. Job Posting API when you actually need RSC) can restart the partner-approval process.
"Recruiter System Connect" is the current official name for ATS-to-Recruiter sync — older material may reference deprecated program names.
