Can I use my LinkedIn profile as a portfolio when applying?

When you apply to jobs in Get on Board as a professional, you can include your LinkedIn profile URL so recruiters see it together with your CV and other links.

Where to add your LinkedIn URL

  • In your profile, so it appears across future applications.
  • During an application, especially if the job listing requires a LinkedIn URL.

What LinkedIn does (and does not) replace

  • LinkedIn adds context, but it does not replace your CV when the job requires a resume.
  • You can still add other links like GitHub, GitLab, or a portfolio site if the job asks for them.

If the URL does not validate

Make sure you are using a LinkedIn profile URL (not a company page). If the link still fails, use the troubleshooting steps in Problem with application: LinkedIn URL validation.
