Putting Quality First At LinkedIn
As our company grew and more opportunities opened up, LinkedIn Talent Hub was a resource we turned to in order to find quality candidates for various positions across different divisions and departments. While we intially used LinkedIn Talent Hub to find sales and account management candidates, we also turned to the program for IT and web development-related positions that were open.
- Singular platform that helps organize incoming leads.
- Easy for multiple decision-makers to access applicant information.
- Pricing can be slightly expensive.

Talent Hub isn't worth your time
LinkedIn is currently being used by our HR department at my organization. It has been a great benefit to use for advertising, posting jobs and managing the recruiter seat. It has gives us the opportunity to better connect with those who are looking for new opportunities and have an established career.
- The recruiter seat is something I think they do well, it is nice to use it to connect with potential new employees.
- Their job board seems to work well for them, although it is not the best it does increase interest.
- The advertising for LinkedIn is not efficient for the prices they charge.
- Their price module is not realistic for small businesses.
We use LinkedIn Talent in one of the organizations that I volunteer for. It is used to find new candidates for open positions. It has an edge over other similar tools, as it's popular, and because most active candidates who are looking for jobs, will usually have LinkedIn profile and network.
- Easy.
- Popular.
- Explain features in a better way.
- Marketing.

Simple to use tool that offers a lot of results
We use LinkedIn Talent Hub for job posting and passive sourcing. Passive sourcing is the biggest area I use it for currently. It helps us find passive talent. Considering the labor market, it's very important to have a tool like LinkedIn Talent Hub and there are a lot of benefits to it.
- Job posting.
- Passive sourcing.
- Boolean search strings.
My organization uses LinkedIn Talent to find and recruit potential candidates for job openings. It is mainly used by our HR department but has also been used by other team members involved in the hiring process. It helps us find strong candidates quickly and makes recruiting simpler for our HR department.
- We really like how easy it is to filter through different categories to find the best candidate.
- We also like to see how potential candidates are connected with current employees. Because LinkedIn is already such a big network, we have instant visibility to the connections that a candidate has with our organization.
- We like the tools available to tag and create notes on potential candidates.
- LinkedIn Talent does not offer direct integration to our CRM or other software programs that we use.
- LinkedIn Talent does not allow us to download or export data so that we can use it in other programs.
- We are a small organization so the price point can be challenging for us.
LinkedIn Talent is being used by my organization to source candidates to ultimately fill open roles. It is used by the human resources department, specifically the talent management division, as they are the ones on the front lines constantly communicating with prospective employees. It is tremendously helpful in terms of finding new candidates.
- Finding strong candidates
- Matching candidates to open roles
- Ranking candidates in order of importance
- The dashboard takes a while to get used to
- Posting jobs to other sites is tough
- Price can be prohibitive to small businesses

It's undeniable that talent lives on Linkedin
It's undeniable that talent lives on Linkedin in many industries today. We see quality candidates with great attached analytics/stats come in from LTS and appreciate the time it saves in filtering out candidates. My only issue with LinkedIn is I wish they wouldn't target MY employees but obviously that's not how it works! LTS saves us recruitment time and effort and makes it easier to target candidates with a skill set that matches our needs. Recruiting is a pain but this is one of the least painful tools to use.
- Finding strong candidates
- Candidate matching
- Candidate ranking/statistics
- Advertising open roles
- All-in-one dashboard
- Posting jobs to other sites

Save Time and Attract Talent
It is used across the organization. It is used to attract talent for those who are not focusing on the more traditional job boards.
- It attracts talent from the specific industry that I am recruiting for.
- It attracts quality talent and that saves me time screening through unqualified candidates.
- It is intuitive and easy to use.
- Some of the communication tools are not as strong as other recruiting tools.
- There seems to be some lag in the reporting (some candidates reported this to me).

Connecting businesses with the best talent
As an organization, we used LinkedIn Talent to search, find, and connect with potential employees for our clients. It helped us to quickly search for qualified candidates with certain criteria and experience. With their easy to use search filters, we could narrow down the best prospects to reach out to.
- LinkedIn Talent provides customized templates that can be used to quickly reach out to candidates via LinkedIn InMail.
- The pipeline feature allows recruiters and/or human resource directors to build, track, and manage candidates. It lets you organize candidates into folders and create lists with reminders.
- You can share your activities, projects, searches, candidate profiles, and applicant notes with other people throughout the company.
- A feature that automates emails via InMail to follow up with applicants or candidates who haven't responded would be a cool update. It's a way to continue nurturing qualified candidates and build relationships.

A great software that meets our ROI needs
It is used by the whole organization primarily through HR. It definitely helps in finding the right people which we sometimes struggle with.
- Search function.
- Connecting to other networks.
- Helping in hiring.
- Sometimes can be clunky.
- Nothing else!

LinkedIn Talent is all you need. Others truly don't compare.
LinkedIn Talent is used across the organization by both our recruiters and our account managers. We continued to run into candidates that were no longer looking, unqualified, resumes that were submitted years ago and not up to date, etc. LinkedIn allows our recruiters to find actively searching candidates who meet the necessary qualifications as well as passive candidates. Because so many people are using LinkedIn, the information is more up to date than other Job search websites such as Careerbuilder or Indeed. They're able to view contact information, along with resumes right up front as they view the high level overview provided in the person's LinkedIn profile. Our Account Managers use LinkedIn Talent to find the correct person to reach out to at an organization. Locate hiring managers, idenitfy who their key contact will be. They're also able to further research the candidates provided to them by recruiters quickly and easily.
- Ability to build pipeline and organize candidates in folders
- Find skill sets
- Up to date information
- Candidates who are most likely to respond feature
- Easy, quick searches
- Candidate rankings/statistics
- Saves time screening
- Allows you to advertise open roles
- Get a lot of spam messages
- The mobile version is AWFUL
- InMails and the rules around those could be better.
- It would be nice to have a customizable dashboard.
- The cost can be too much for small companies. It's an investment, but a good one, in my opinion.

LinkedIn Talent has got talent!
LinkedIn is excellent to select the new personnel of the company in a faster and more efficient way, I like that it offers you detailed information about the future employee of the company, in which it facilitates your resume as previous work, thus obtaining detailed information in little time and in an easy way.
- Quickly understand the background of applicants.
- Easily and quickly find new, prospective employees.
- Manage a new employee recruitment pipeline.
- Integration w/ company CRM system.
- Automated follow-ups and reminders.
- Ability to schedule meetings with G-suite and Outlook calendars.

LinkedIn Talent for all your recruiting needs
LinkedIn Talent is being used by several recruiters across our company. It is used among other recruiting platforms, as well as inboard platforms. The problem it addresses is being able to easily and quickly reach more candidates that are qualified for various positions without a lot of manual work.
- Constantly up to date - It's up to the applicants to keep their resumes up to date, and since they're looking for jobs, they are almost always up to date.
- Photos/User profile - As opposed to a plain resume, using LinkedIn Talen allows recruiters to see profiles of their applicants, giving them some insight into the kind of applicant.
- Reference checks - If the applicant has any mutual connections with the recruiter or anyone else related, they're able to easily see it and use that as a reference.
- Time-consuming - LinkedIn Talent is very easy to get started with, but using it as a professional and becoming proficient with it can take some time.
- A large amount of applicants - LinkedIn Talent is basically the go-to name for recruiting. So much so that there are so many applicants that it can be overwhelming.
- Cost - Unless you're a large corporation, LinkedIn Talent may be too expensive for you or your company.

Excellent platform to hire excellent resources
LinkedIn Talent has played an important role in my organisation's recruiting success. It's an excellent platform to post the requirements/ job descriptions. You manage to get attract even passive candidates, can visit unlimited profiles, get enough InMails options. And best part is you get genuine and honest candidates. You get applications with complete contact details which is also very useful thing since on other platforms, you can't get complete contact details.
- Most importantly you get genuine talent pool via LinkedIn. Usually candidates don't put fake experiences over LinkedIn so you get only genuine candidates.
- You can find candidates for all the skill sets over LinkedIn so wide variety, diversity you can get.
- I really like the feature they have added "candidates who will most likely to respond". And yes those are active job seekers, they quickly respond to Inmails and it speeds up the hiring process.
- Response time is slow. People don't check InMails so actively.
- Lots of candidates are not active on social media so they don't have LinkedIn Account. That means you can't rely on LinkedIn completely.
- It can be little expensive for small companies.

Makes Hiring As Easy As Snapping Your Fingers
LinkedIn Talent is used by my company to quickly list and review applications for potential job offers. It's nice because everyone has been conditioned to go to LinkedIn and applying using their profile information is incredibly easy so we get a lot of nice applicants because we've made it easy for users to apply for our positions.
- Job listing.
- Applicant communications.
- Resume reviews.
- More qualification questions to weed out people that aren't a match.
- A better version for mobile.
- The ability to save "maybe" applicants.

LinkedIn Talent Makes Finding the Right Recruit Easy
We use Linkedin talent to look for candidates when we can't find one using our website or Glassdoor. This platform is exclusively being used by our recruiting and email team. Usually, we have enough applicants for each position. But when we don't, we use Linkedin Talent for our recruiting efforts.
- LinkedIn Talent excels at being able to segment personas based on criteria you are looking for.
- It makes it easy to advertise to specific groups.
- Networking with potential candidates is very easy.
- We get a lot of spam messages from fake accounts.
- I wish you could customize the dashboard a little more.
- A lot of people haven't updated their LinkedIn profiles which can muddy the data when you are segmenting.
We are testing it as a viable and affordable means of recruiting -- without having to go through a headhunting service. Our old way of doing things is just placing ads -- which people don't really use anymore. Our senior managers are against poaching people from other firms, so this is just a research and tracking tool.
- Access to profile details
- Organization of people
- Pretty easy to use
- It comes across as spammy to higher-level personnel.
- I wish LinkedIn could provide some further insight into these candidates...beyond what they self post.
LinkedIn is the best professional network platform which allows us to reach the right talent and to connect with professionals across industries. The pool available for passive resources is great. This definitely helps to connect with industry talents and to fill positions that are hard to find in active job portals.
- Building a professional network
- Branding
- Searching for the right candidates for the positions
- Sometimes if the search is on we [can't] map them to a different project that was created
- Work authorization should be included

Great program for finding candidates quickly!
LinkedIn Talent is used across our entire company on a daily basis, as it is our main method of sourcing for talent. It is a great way to find both active and passive job seekers and really allows a recruiter to hone in on candidates by location, experience, education, etc. It is a fast way to navigate a large pool of candidates.
- Quick results from both simple and complex Boolean searches.
- Easy to see mutual connections and networks with potential leads.
- Easy to set reminders and notes on candidate profiles.
- Ability to send connection requests from Linkedin Talent while sourcing (no need to open public profiles).

Everything you need in one place.
We use LinkedIn Talent in our organization to make sure we have access to an immense database of talent, their abilities, work experience, recommendations, and of course, the notes to recruiters which are valuable, there we can look at the candidates' specifics such as availability or salary expectations, in our case since we are a software development firm, often the developers indicate which technologies they would like to work on. But not only that, it is an excellent tool to keep track, categorize, take notes, communicate and manage talent. We appreciate the support provided by LinkedIn not only the tool, but the training and customer service are superb. Thank you very much for designing a solution so robust to address the market talent demand.
- The database is like no other, period.
- Easy to use, intuitive User Interfase and User Experience.
- The tools are amazing to keep track of negotiations and conversations with talent.
- The price structure could be harsh on small and medium size companies.
- It would be nice to have more offerings or price combos for 2 o 3 accounts at a time. Like Spotify (family account) but for small B2B companies.

Linkedin Talent, A Solid Recruiting Platform!
LinkedIn Talent is primarily used in our Recruiting department. In my current company, I and other members of my recruiting team use this platform. The business problems Linkedin Talent helps solve is finding quality candidates. We post our open positions on LinkedIn and use it for sourcing candidates. The Linkedin Inmail feature is great in helping send messages to prospective candidates. The job postings we have on Linkedin also helps us attract active candidates into our open positions. I love that I can easily search for candidates with the touch of a few filters. The filters one can use range from current company, education, how long a candidate has been at their current job, and if they are currently open to new opportunities!
- Search Feature. A recruiter can easily use the platform to find their ideal candidate. There is a variety of filters to help you. If you are not strong in Boolean searches, the filters really come in handy! I’ve trained 2 members of my team with this platform and they love how easy it is to use!
- Project folders. This feature allows a recruiter to put prospective candidates in a folder. You can select multiple candidates and put them in a folder. You can then send this folder over to a hiring manager to get their review. I love this feature since it helps me be organized.
- Job Slots. With our Linkedin Talent account, we also included the job slot feature where in which we can post a select number of our open positions. Many of our new hires have actually come through the linked job postings!
- Unlimited Inmails. I love the fact that I can easily reach out to candidates. With the connectifier plugin, recruiters are now able to reach out to the prospective candidate through their personal email address!
- InMails. The con of sending InMails is that many times you don’t get a response back. Linkedin should have a feature where a recruiter can know if their InMails was even viewed. Better mechanisms need to be put in my place for the InMails feature.
- Cost. LinkedIn recruiter is not cheap. I wish the cost could be a bit lower especially if there are multiple users.
- Connectifier is not helpful for global candidates. Many of the candidates that I reach out to are international. Unfortunately, Connectifier isn’t helpful in obtaining email addresses for these international candidates.
Mainly recruiters use this platform to increase the options of candidates. We are typically using multiple platforms to source candidates from, and LinkedIn Talent is more used for the higher level positions we staff for and more direct placement positions. It is being used throughout the entire organization, but recruiters are the main users of it -- across all states. It allows us access to those higher level candidates with strong backgrounds and more education and experience.
- High-level candidates matched to my criteria.
- Shows a great profile of the candidate - on other sites you have a general resume. No picture, no other information about them that you can really tell about the candidate.
- Using Inmail to get a hold of candidates.
- I think the matching feature could use a little more work. I typically find candidates who aren't qualified, or who are overqualified.
- Personally, when I see "Inmail," I don't always think its very personal. I think a feature where it feels more personal and not that you're getting spammed by companies looking for candidates would be nice.
- Sometimes, there is a lot of clicking around to get appts, tasks made. I would like it more streamlined, one click, easier to track.

Pros & Cons of LinkedIn Talent
LinkedIn Recruiter is used by the entire recruiting department.
- Provides a platform for people to network from anywhere in the world.
- The ability to keep in touch with people you’ve either done business with or have met via the platform.
- When having the LinkedIn Recruiter package, it allows for better co-collaboration, organization and branding.
- Restricts people from connecting with other professionals — LinkedIn Jail.
- [Would like to be provided] a lot more options that are free.
- Shuts down third-party software extensions.
It is being used by our Recruiting team to source Top Talent. It makes it easier to network with those in the Physical Therapy field.
- Easy connection to those in the same field
- Simple way to connect with potential candidates that is user friendly
- In line with typical social media platforms used by candidates
- Too much mass marketing and cookie cutter messaging

LinkedIn Talent is a Must-Have
Our whole TA organization uses LinkedIn Talent, or at least all that source/look for talent. It is a great source for not just reaching out to talent, but to gather data of competitors, locations of great talent, etc. I would highly recommend it for any organization looking for talent as nothing has been able to match it yet.
- Virtually everyone is on LinkedIn, so you have an enormous database of people to search for and reach out to.
- You can reach out directly to anyone on LinkedIn with LinkedIn Talent solutions.
- There is training from LinkedIn to make you more successful with the LinkedIn Talent solutions.
- I would like more locations. For example, you can't just search the state of Maine, you would have to put in many locations in Maine. Minor, but somewhat irritating.
- It would be great to be able to quickly identify those needing sponsorship and if your company does not sponsor, to eliminate those people.
- Would be great if you could search specifically for diverse candidates/groups.
