The core mechanic of Lead Gen Forms is autofill: when a member opens the form, LinkedIn pre-populates the selected fields (name, email, job title, company, and others) from that member's LinkedIn profile, so they submit with a tap or click instead of typing on a mobile keyboard.
This is why Lead Gen Forms typically convert at a higher rate than sending traffic to an external landing page form -- the friction of manual data entry, especially on mobile, is removed -- though it also means submitted data is only as accurate as what the member has kept current on their LinkedIn profile.
- Selected form fields autofill from the member's LinkedIn profile data on open
- Removes manual typing, which is the main driver of higher completion rates versus external landing pages
- Submitted data reflects whatever the member has kept current on their profile, which can be stale
