LinkedIn Talent Solutions is a versatile platform that offers various use cases for organizations across different departments. Users, such as recruitment and sales teams, rely on this tool to discover potential candidates and prospects. With the help of the LinkedIn app, communication with candidates becomes effortless. This platform proves to be highly effective for passive candidate sourcing, enabling users to reach out to individuals who may be interested in joining their team or filling clients' positions.

The people operations team, consisting of 5 members, considers LinkedIn Talent Solutions as their go-to and most efficient sourcing tool. It serves as the primary source for reaching out to passive candidates and posting job ads on a pay-per-click basis. Notably, it is also beneficial for HR departments with limited staff capacity, aiding them in finding qualified candidates. Executive search consultants rely heavily on this tool when searching for top-tier talent.

Another significant use case of LinkedIn Talent Solutions lies in IT recruiting, particularly in the IT market. Whether seeking active or passive candidates, recruiters utilize this platform on a daily basis. The key advantage is the ability to identify individuals actively looking for job changes and engage directly with employees from various companies.

In terms of improvements, users suggest enhancing candidate sourcing filters and adding options to specify the optimal time and method of contacting potential candidates. Despite these suggestions, overall feedback highlights the efficiency of LinkedIn Talent Solutions in prospecting both active and passive candidates for present and future positions.

Additionally, this platform saves valuable time for communication and recruiting teams by streamlining job postings and advertising processes. By reducing manual resume screening efforts, it allows teams to focus on more critical tasks. The tool's versatility enables searching for candidates across all departments within an organization, providing a broad range of candidates for review.

Overall, LinkedIn Talent Solutions offers an effective solution for organizations looking to meet their HR hiring needs by tapping into a wider pool of candidates. Its reliability makes it an attractive choice for finding and placing highly skilled technical and professional talent.

Intuitive User Interface: Users have found the user interface of the Recruiter platform to be easy to navigate and intuitive once they became familiar with it. This indicates that the platform has a user-friendly design that allows users to quickly adapt to its features.

Wide Variety of Search Filters: Many reviewers have appreciated the extensive range of search filters available on the Recruiter platform, enabling them to customize their candidate searches based on specific criteria. This suggests that the platform offers a comprehensive set of search options, enhancing the user's ability to find suitable candidates.

Accessible Help Center: The help center on the Recruiter platform is easily accessible and provides prompt assistance in resolving issues. Users value this feature as it ensures a smooth experience and underscores the platform's commitment to providing helpful resources and support.

Training Improvement: Some users have expressed their dissatisfaction with the training provided for the product, stating that it could be improved, especially considering its complexity. They feel that more comprehensive and effective training resources would help them better utilize and navigate the product.

Expensive Pricing: A common concern among several reviewers is the high pricing of the product. Many users believe that the cost is too steep, making it less accessible for small businesses or individuals on a budget. Lowering the price or offering more affordable subscription options could make it more attractive to potential customers.

Lack of Integrations and Smooth Features for Recruitment: Users have suggested that the platform needs improvement when it comes to recruitment purposes. They mention that there is a lack of integrations with other tools commonly used in recruitment processes, as well as a need for smoother features to streamline hiring workflows. Enhancing these aspects would make the platform more efficient and user-friendly for recruiters.

Talent Solutions is currently being used for recruitment purposes. We post jobs and actively search for candidates through our recruiter profiles. The only team using the tool is people operations, a total of 5 people. And it is definitely our most important, quick, and volume generator sourcing tool. The hired vs applications rates are not the best but definitely the best option in the market.
  • Sourcing new talent
  • Promoting job posts/openings
  • Building an audience
  • Building an audience and careers page. It can definitely improve
  • Pricing is a big one
  • Finally, using it as a recruitment platform. It still lacks integrations and smooth features to be the preferred tool for this.
If you are a first-world or international company, LinkedIn talent solutions are your go-to tool. Also, consider the profiles you are looking for, as colleagues have tried these tools in the past for very operational roles and it wasn't suited. If you are looking for business, marketing, technology, digital and specialized profiles this is your tool! Active sourcing is their best feature. You can search and filter qualified talent in a sec.

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.

I use LinkedIn Recruiter in my department to uncover talent for open jobs I have with my clients. I am an executive search consultant for a business management consulting firm. I am solely responsible for finding candidates for our client. I am able to pinpoint specific candidates who match the requirements I'm looking for, in the geographic location I am searching in, as well as organize the candidates and reach out to them in a very organized fashion.
  • Boolean searches
  • Project Set-up
  • Post Jobs
  • I love that you can have the job applicants go straight to your url
  • Adding more detail to the "look" of job descriptions, bullet points, highlights, etc.
  • Templates to send to candidates to get better response rates on Inmails!
  • More InMails! Since the response rates are low....
  • Better way to alert LinkedIn users that they have an email waiting or someone who wants to connect with them. More interactive
LinkedIn Talent Solutions is best suited for higher-level, more professional roles in contrast to lower-level assembler, production roles for candidates. I have found that the lower level candidates don't have LinkedIn profiles, so there's no sense in posting on LinkedIn for these roles. LinkedIn Talent Solutions is our go-to for the sweet spot roles that we hire for!

  • 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.
We just decided to end our relationship with LinkedIn Talent Solutions after they eliminated the Small Business offering. The price went up and we just weren't having any return on investment. The time spent reaching out to candidates and not hearing back from them was frustrating. We purchased ZoomInfo instead which comes with candidate information, including LinkedIn profile links, but more importantly could most times tell us business phone/email and personal phone/email to reach candidates through. The ability to reach out to candidates 1300 times versus 150 Inmails is huge too. In the past we chose LinkedIn Talent Solutions because of the price offered small businesses, the professionalism, and because our clients often have high level positions that we recruit for and this is the platform to find professionals.

We use LinkedIn [Talent Solutions] across the whole organization, as staffing company, mainly for the recruitment department (either to find new candidates or to follow daily with our consultants) but also but the sales department to find new prospect.
It gives us an easy way to communicate with candidates. Having the Linkedin app helps also a lot.
Most candidates are now on linkedin, even if not all profiles are present.
  • Confidentially of the profiles seen when you use Recruiter
  • Many search filters (although it depends on what the candidates have completed)
  • Help center easily accessible, chat not always opened but very helpful to solve an issue quickly
  • Have the full content of the message received on linkedin (basic) when we receive an email notification.
  • Propose related research to those already conducted
  • Filter the notifications by theme because depending on the size of our network we can receive a lot of them
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.

  • Easy way to contact candidates
  • Give us a large pool of candidates of various profile
  • Too much recruiters on Linkedin and some candidates / consultants start to deactivated there linkedin profile because they receive too much messages.
LinkedIn [Talent Solutions] is essential in the recruitment market and for headhunting, as well as for sales development.
It is more intuitive for candidates when they need to update their experiences rather than having to redo a resume in word format.
Used at the company level, it also allows to have a trace of everyone's actions and to see if colleagues from other offices have already had a contact in the past with this same candidate (without having the details of the answer, but at least the status, accepted, declined, waiting for an answer...). This avoids duplicate communications.
