Google for Jobs vs. Linkedin Recruiter

Filling open positions, finding new gigs, and transitioning from one role to another are all excellent scenarios for utilizing this tool. For some very niche industries, it may be less effective. However, the ease of use and incredibly broad database make this an unparalleled tool, perhaps even essential in 2022 and for some time to come.

I can manage candidates from the search to moving them to projects to messaging in one place, which makes it a more streamlined and efficient process. If a candidate does not respond to an outreach message from my LinkedIn recruiter mailbox, I can then send a connection request and a message directing them, to the recruiter message.

• The scheduler is my most favorite part of Recruiter. Super easy and organized to use.
• It also can integrate with my applicant tracking system when and if I hire from LinkedIn Recruiter.
• The fact that you can see an applicants full profile gives more information than just a resume when selecting candidates to interview.

• Sometimes Google does not pull relevant searches. I might search "marketing" and a plumber comes up.
• Google could use more filter categories like searching multiple cities or certain hours.
• Google could make sure companies are filling out the compensation for the job instead of leaving it up in the air.

• For some reason, whenever I click "View in Recruiter" it takes me to the project summary screen instead of that candidate's profile in Recruiter
• It would be nice if candidates got automatically moved to the appropriate stage when an action is taken (ie "Contacted" after sending them a message)

I'd say Google for Jobs stacks up comparably with Indeed or Glassdoor but lags behind the functionality of LinkedIn. we use all of these, and find Glassdoor to be the most traditional setup and easier to use whereas Google for Jobs can get a little trickier.

LinkedIn Recruiter has the largest reach globally. I mean, if you're not on LinkedIn, do you even exist? ;) It is the only real game in town for one-stop-shopping for candidates. The service is premium, and so is the price. However, there is nothing that I'm aware of in the market that can compete.

Incentivized

• More people are finding out about it
• ROI

Incentivized

• Refined search for the appropriate candidates.
• Emails sent are not sure to be delivered as there is no notifications.
• Not worth the amount spent in getting the service.
• Contact information unavailable to get in touch.
• Limits in the daily use of InMail.
