Indeed Resume vs. LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Indeed Resume is extremely well suited for my Pharmacy Technician positions. I receive a high number of applicants and many of them are qualified for my positions. All of the contact information is provided for me to reach out to the applicant to begin the interview process. Many of these interviews have resulted in hires.

LinkedIn Talent Solutions is the best way to search & find qualified candidates. For profiles with fewer qualifications, there is often little information filled in by the candidates (only job titles) and it takes a lot more phone screening to find the candidate with all the required skills. The statistics tab helps you learn more about our use of the platform and what our response rates are. The saved searches are really convenient and help us to easily expand our network of candidates.

• It uses boolean search functionality, which allows me to target specific candidates
• I like that it shows me how long it's been since someone has been active on Indeed
• The messaging functionality to reach out to candidates and have them respond back to you is very user-friendly

Incentivized

• UI - Pretty easy to navigate once you get the hang of it.
• Large platform of candidates. I can't find a better platform for finding professional candidates
• Ability to post jobs - easy to use. Attracts more of the right qualified candidates than any platform that I have posted on.

Incentivized

• I find it does not always recommend the best resumes to invite to the job we are recruiting for, based off the experience needed or job titles in the candidates resume
• I don't like how invites don't roll over into a new month if you don't use all of them in a said period of time.

Incentivized

• The cost is significant, especially for the more robust options
• You can't easily collaborate with team members unless they have a license as well
• Support tickets can take awhile to resolve, I've had one (bug with spend tracking) that took 2 months to resolve

We have implemented this tool across several management divisions and locations as of today, so I don't anticipate us canceling our subscription. With the upcoming pricing changes, we are looking at ways that we can stricken the user of the software, but we have seen such benefits from it that we simply cannot go without it as of today.

It is very easy to view, user friendly, and a great feature for quick selections. I haven't had any problems viewing or sending out invites when I need to. It can be a little hard to find at times. It seems to be buried to where you have to search for it.

This tool allows you to do so much for such an affordable rate. If you want to scoop up your competition's talent, you can filter searches for resumes for people who have or currently work at their business. You can also you Bollinger searches for individuals who have experience with a specific type or word. And my favorite, you can set up search criteria that alert you of any new resumes with specific criteria so you are first to reach out. Highly Recommend.

Indeed works better for the entry-level roles we are searching for, we find LinkedIn is for higher-level leadership roles. However, Indeed does have a wider variety in general, of all types of roles and skillsets. I've found more luck finding entry-level job seekers on Indeed and more luck finding HR professionals on Linkedin.

I think the main thing about Linkedin is how global it has become. People might not know of other tools but they know about LinkedIn and everyone wants to be there or is learning that they have to be there to get good opportunities and build a network by using social platforms that aren't just focused on the social aspect.

While we don't need it to scale, I see how easy it would be to separate by departments and projects

• Some managers reported decreased time spent searching for applicants.
• This is another site to check for applications.
• If you want to make it work for you, it can: decrease time to hire, increase candidate responsiveness, but you are missing out on a large section of applicants, thus decreasing your applicant quantity and quality.

• The majority of our ROI come from referrals, but LinkedIn Talent Solutions has also helped us find candidates. If they referral doesn't pan out, then Workable is usually next, followed by LinkedIn.
• LinkedIn Talent Solutions has gotten more expensive and has eliminated the Small Business offering so we did not renew. It just became to costly based on the ROI.
• Clients always like that we have access to post jobs to LinkedIn Talent Solutions because they consider LinkedIn legitimate and professional.
