  • Added button with valid API key

However, the display looks awful i can't seem to align it to the existing button, does anyone have any ideas?

It's indeed not the best looking button, nor the easiest to style. The blue color that is used is not the same as the bootstrap blue and the button is HUGE. Besides, can we really asume that the recruiter/hr employee has linkedin (well, it might be a stupid recruiter, but still...)?

I think we're still better off with a small form which asks for a small text and some links to various services, like linkedin, github, bitbucket, mojolive, perhaps even meetup. I think this is more flexible and easier extendable.

@pascaldevink it does not require hr/recruiter to have LinkedIn. It sends a PDF resume and a link to the appointed email, Its actually quite better then anything we would have to maintain ourselves.

I'm -1 on having our own form and adding the unneeded complexity of handling all of that extra info, which we would either have to store (and the user keep updated) or ask for everytime (killing the one click effect)

Let's stick to a simple action (email) and make the most common one available, LinkedIn. I really don't see a downside to this button and would prefer it if it was me applying. I already spend my time pruning and adjusting my linkedin profile.

Can we use the default bootstrap button with the same action? I was trying something here, what you guys think about this:

I like it, but i don't think we can simulate the button, we can however make it large like the one in the picture.

I added the small social icons from Font Awesome, I think they fit well...If it seems good I can try to make them actually work, I think it will not be a problem... Im not sure about the company info, but I think the apply buttons should be featured at the top...
