The Sourcing Engine Connector

About

The Sourcing Engine Connector is a Chrome extension built exclusively for users of The Sourcing Engine recruitment platform.

HOW IT WORKS
The extension reads your LinkedIn session cookie (li_at) from your browser and sends it directly to your Sourcing Engine platform over HTTPS. This keeps the platform's LinkedIn scraper authenticated without requiring you to manually find, copy, and paste the cookie value.

FEATURES
• One-click cookie push — select a slot and click "Push Cookie to Platform"
• Auto-refresh — when LinkedIn rotates your session cookie, the extension can push the new value automatically (optional, disabled by default)
• Slot status — see at a glance which cookie slots are filled on the platform
• Secure — cookies are sent directly from your browser to your own platform. Nothing is shared with third parties.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
This extension is for authorised administrators and users of The Sourcing Engine platform. A valid Extension Token issued by your platform administrator is required. The extension will not function without it.

PRIVACY
• Only the li_at cookie from linkedin.com is accessed — no other cookies, no browsing history, no page content.
• Your platform URL and extension token are stored locally on your device (chrome.storage.local) and are never sent to any third party.
• Full privacy policy: https://dcpeople.thesourcingengine.io/legal/extension-privacy

PERMISSIONS USED
• cookies — to read the LinkedIn li_at session cookie
• storage — to save your platform URL and token locally
• activeTab — to interact with the extension popup
• Host permission (linkedin.com) — required to access the LinkedIn cookie
