LinkedIn Talent Solutions vs. ZoomInfo Talent

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.

Honestly, I'm not using ZoomInfo because I have researchers who have their licenses to several platforms. So, I don't think I need it moving forward.

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

• ZoomInfo Talent has detailed search parameters to help identified potentially qualified candidates.
• ZoomInfo Talent allows you to download your results via CSV or Excel directly to your ATS/CRM once linked.
• ZoomInfo Talent shows email open info if you send them emails via ZoomInfo.

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

Incentivized

• I think the data (emails and phone numbers) is only somewhat accurate.
• Often there is company data missing that is important.
• ZoomInfo doesn't provide phone support for free; you have to pay for phone support in addition to the platform.

It's ok. I don't think it's fabulous. Initially I purchased ZoomInfo Talent to replace LinkedIn Professional Recruiter. I found that I was still finding and connecting with more candidates and ultimately placing them using LinkedIn. I don't think it's an adequate substitute for LinkedIn RPS.

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.

LinkedIn is a better recruitment program overall in my opinion. I like the InMail feature which seems to get far better results than emailing from ZoomInfo Talent.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Negative ROI for 2024. I found often the phone numbers, emails and current companies were not current.
• It's a nice product to have as an add on.
• I don't think training is great; I found it made more sense to hire someone to utilize my sourcing instead.
