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
Cons
  • 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 been THE best for all scenarios. It really is where talent is at. You get genuine information and experiences and the ability to directly message that person via InMail. They let you know who is likely to respond so that you use your inmails wisely. It makes it so easy to match to the candidate to our needs and skillsets.

Over the years, we have utilize LinkedIn Recruiter and Recruiter Lite subscriptions, as well as paid job postings. These have mainly been utilized by our recruitment coordinator and HR department.

We utilize these services in order to reach a broader audience when posting jobs. We use the free job board and the paid posting options. These work for us, but there are many other options you could purchase for getting your information out to your audience. Additionally, the Recruiter subscriptions allow for easy searches and additional knowledge about candidates and businesses.
  • I don't know the statistics behind it, but LinkedIn has an extensive network - I would imagine one of, if not the, largest professional networks out there. Being able to tap into that network is incredibly helpful from a recruitment standpoint. Both utilizing the free job board and the paid postings allow us to reach a wide audience.
  • There are multiple options to fit the needs of each organization. Some of the larger packages, such as job slots, didn't make sense for us, given the size of our organization and how much hiring we do. However, I liked that packages could be customized to meet our needs.
  • The mobile app is great - optimized for my phone, easy to use, easy to read.
  • I enjoy the transparency and connectivity that is used with LinkedIn. When posting jobs, we can link them to our recruiter, which allows candidates to get more information about our department and company. We want to establish our connection with a candidate from the start, and LinkedIn makes this easy.
  • Additional products come out regularly, which allows you to change up your hiring practices/reach new candidates. These tools help source candidates easily.
  • I appreciate the tips and tricks LinkedIn publishes through their blog, articles, etc. They conduct a lot of create interviews and publish quality content.
Cons
  • Sales - in our experience, the sales people at LinkedIn have been intense. If you give the slightest indication that you want to discuss/buy/utilize a product of theirs, you will be hounded by a rep. We've told ours repeatedly that we are not interested in changing our package right now, yet still get daily emails asking to set up conversations. Additionally, we have asked our rep to only contact our recruitment coordinator (myself) with information, yet she continues to reach out to other members of the organization trying to set up times for sales calls. This is not an isolated incident - we've had other reps who have just been a bit too pushy.
  • Pricing - LinkedIn is not cheap. Even a 'lite' Recruiter subscription will run you over $1,000 annually. I'm not sure where it falls on the scale compared to other platforms, but it's been our most expensive tool, by far. My advice to anyone would be to do your research on their products and have a strong idea of what you need for your team/organization. It may be necessary to spend a little more, or perhaps you can find an option to scale back and save money.
  • Updates - Although I do appreciate the constant improvements and upgrades, these typically come on a rolling basis. We had a sales rep tell us about a great new tool that was coming out, but it didn't get to our subscription/type of organization for almost a year. I understand the need to push upgrades out on a rolling basis, but it can be frustrating as a user when you're hearing about other tools you don't have access to.
  • Customer Service - LinkedIn has some of the worst customer service we've ever utilized. There is NO way to contact them to ask questions. You can email, but it'll take at least 24 hrs to get a response, even if it's a quick question. There is no phone number, except for to sales reps. I've called a sales rep trying to get in touch with someone who could help me, but they direct you back to their website and the FAQs. It just seems odd there is no way to contact them or they are actively making it difficult to do so. Another recruiting platform we use has a very helpful web chat - I can hop on, ask a quick question, and get a quick response. This has been incredibly helpful for me, and I wish LinkedIn did the same!
LinkedIn is great if you are in a populated area, where you think a large number of your audience may be utilizing the tool. It is the most popular professional platform, so the numbers work in your favor. Additionally, they do a great job of pushing jobs out to users when they're paid postings. Candidates are more likely to see your job on the platform, as well as receiving emails about the roles.

LinkedIn Recruiter (regular or lite) is great for deeper sleuthing. You're provided more information about candidates, and can see more of their profiles. As a recruiter, it's a very helpful tool.

If you are a smaller organization and/or only hire a few roles a year, it may not be necessarily to pay for some of the products. The free job board options are great, you just don't get the same exposure.

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.
Cons
  • More qualification questions to weed out people that aren't a match.
  • A better version for mobile.
  • The ability to save "maybe" applicants.
We are a small business that doesn't have a talent acquisition team. We want to be able to list a position quickly and run through resume submissions as fast as possible so we can get to the interview stage and hiring stage quickly. We desperately needed help with listing jobs and managing applicants. LinkedIn Talent does that.

Here's my number, so call me maybe?

We use LI Talent in our Talent Acquisition Department only. It helps us to address our hiring needs as a whole.
  • Great way to look at past jobs and candidates and keeping that information organized. I like how it semi-ranks them based on the job description.
  • Enjoy the vast options for sourcing.
  • Good at identifying candidates who have prior communication with other members of team or company.
Cons
  • Analytics. They have been off ever since I can remember.
  • Searching. My colleagues and I put in same criteria but get different results. Some candidates not included. Frustrating.
  • No need for clutter. I never use clipboard because it is hard to select some here and there and then re-file them. Wish it had more filter options.
  • A calendar to set up reminders and interviews would be great.
LinkedIn Talent is great for sourcing passive candidates with specific skill sets. It is not a great resource for quick hires because unless they apply, you cannot reach them. With mass email, it could cause issues as well. I also think candidates should not show common people as when asking for a reference you may not know the extent of the relationship or dynamics and have seen that backfire sadly.

Our company was always hiring and the roles were so industry-specific that it was tough to be able to get the right people to apply. When we started using LinkedIn, we were able to use keywords for [the] skills and experience we were looking for to attract more people to the open position.
  • Analytics
  • Marketing
  • Screening
Cons
  • Pricing
  • Dashbords
  • Bulk uploads
LinkedIn Talent Hub is best suited for smaller companies looking for specific skill sets and willing to hire from out of state and recent graduates. It is great for marketing and getting your company brand out there especially if you are a business-to-business seller and do not have a loyal customer base who might want to apply.
