LinkedIn Talent is a versatile platform that caters to a wide range of recruiting needs. Users, including the recruiting department, business and technical teams, and individual hiring managers, utilize LinkedIn Talent to find top talent in specific areas of expertise. The platform allows them to post open positions, source candidates, and send messages through the LinkedIn Inmail feature. With job postings on LinkedIn, they are able to attract both active and passive candidates who may not come across job postings on other platforms. The platform's easy-to-use search filters enable users to find candidates based on criteria such as current company, education, job tenure, and openness to new opportunities.

LinkedIn Talent is particularly useful for finding candidates for direct-hire roles and short-term contracts lasting 12-18 months.

One focus of our organization is recruiting/executive search. Given that our company is only in the early stages, one of our main focuses is to grow our candidate database by targeting professionals within the finance and technology industries. We have certainly tapped into our own networks but, as all search firms, we also realized that LinkedIn is an invaluable asset that we can leverage as it is now ubiquitous. Our entire recruiting department utilizes LinkedIn Talent as it just has far more capabilities than a regular account. Even people who are not directly involved in recruiting have found benefits to a premium account as well. Through the use of LinkedIn Talent, we have been able to increase our candidate pool tremendously and have also been able to reach out more easily to candidates, whether they may be active or passive.
  • Streamlined workflow - LinkedIn Talent has tools and functionalities that help us to be more organized.
  • Simple interface - New users are able to pick it up / adapt to the system quickly.
  • Search functionality is usually effective.
  • While InMails are a great tool, I'm not so sure that it's as beneficial or effective as they claim.
  • The search functionality, while I think works great now, can definitely be improved. Sometimes I find that a lot of the candidates that are filtered still do not match the criteria.
  • Not a fan of having to log in to a separate portal to access my Recruiter account. In addition, I find that opening LinkedIn Talent while I have some profiles open causes issues wherein my other tabs refresh to the Home page.
LinkedIn Talent is a necessity for search firms as there aren't many alternatives that allow you to access such a robust and diverse pipeline of talent. I also feel that it is best suited for roles wherein the candidate requirements are simpler - running a complex search by relying on boolean searches haven't been as effective on our end.

  • LinkedIn Talent has allowed us to truly build up our candidate database/pipeline.
  • As we have started to explore job postings as well, we have found that it has been effective in targeting the audiences that are most relevant to the roles that we are working on.
  • Ability to now filter through active candidate preferences.
In addition to LinkedIn, we also use Crelate and are thinking of transitioning to another ATS and/or CRM. It's not necessary that we selected LinkedIn Talent over the others, but more that we understand that it must be used in conjunction with other tools to build the most efficient process and achieve the best results.
