LinkedIn Integration

Hello,

It would be great if I could port my educational experience (ie, tracks, badges, total score) into LinkedIn and somehow display that on my profile. I'm not actively looking for work, but I would imagine that a potential employer would be excited to see a candidate that is actively engaging in new education.

Love the site and experience so far.

Thanks, Tom

Hey Tom, you can just copy and paste your profile link into Linkedin - that will provide a link to your public profile page to see all of your badges.

It should just be http://teamtreehouse.com/tomsaal

How about one of us uses our new skills to write some code to update the courses section of your LinkedIn Profile with all your badges?

I found that learnable.com, for example, add skills certificate to your linkedin profile when you finish a course.

At least add a record of completed tracks on profile pages so that when employers actually go to your treehouse profile they can see which tracks you've taken the time to complete!

+1 on this also, I know there is a JSON API that you can call the data with but no integration directly into LinkedIn. Is it possible for someone not affiliated with Treehouse directly to do this themselves?

Would be a great project to work on.

Yes +1 vote for this too, I like Will's idea, maybe we should have this as a kinda capstone/final project. But I agree that the integration from day one would be extremely advantageous.

I wonder if this isn't happening because Lynda is a Linkedin company and Team Treehouse is a direct competitor...

as an ex-recruiter, I can confirm that LinkedIn integration will help your students to get headhunted and get those coolest jobs.

I agree it would be a win win situation for both students and teamtreehouse.com

It's strange not seeing a comment from the staff on this topic that has almost 3 years old.

Staff, please share your thoughts !
