## Pin and open the extension

Install the extension, then pin it in Chrome so it is easy to open while sourcing.

If the extension is hidden, open Chrome's extensions menu and pin it from there.

## Best practices

- Check the captured fields before saving.
- Use a clear source such as LinkedIn, GitHub, or referral.
- Add tags for sourcing campaign, market, or seniority.
- Avoid saving people to unrelated jobs just to keep them visible; use a talent pool or tag when appropriate.
