How do I connect my LinkedIn and Facebook profiles to my participant profile?

Linking your Facebook and LinkedIn profiles to your User Interviews account can increase your chances of being selected for studies in a few ways:

• Applications from participants with verified profiles can seem more trustworthy to researchers.
• Some researchers prefer to see that potential participants have an online presence.
• For LinkedIn specifically, researchers may be more likely to select participants whose LinkedIn profiles match their recruiting criteria.

What do researchers see?

Researchers in studies you've applied to will see an icon beside your name for each connected profile. This can help give researchers more confidence in your application. If you've connected your LinkedIn account, the researcher can click the icon to view your public LinkedIn profile.
