LinkedIn Recruiter is a powerful tool that allows users to access a global talent market and search for professionals with specific skills. According to users, the software is particularly useful for identifying qualified candidates for open positions and sourcing passive candidates who are more likely to be qualified and satisfied with the job. With LinkedIn Recruiter, users can effectively search for candidates based on specific requirements such as location, experience, education, job title, and skills. The software enables users to track candidate pipelines, perform outreach activities, and sync with their company's recruiting database to keep track of candidates.

In addition to its use in the recruitment process, LinkedIn Recruiter is also widely used by sales teams for prospecting and business development purposes. Users appreciate the ease of use and intuitive interface of the software, along with its powerful search features that allow for fine-tuning candidate searches within a week. One of the standout features of LinkedIn Recruiter is InMail, which has a higher response rate compared to other outreach methods. This makes it a primary form of outreach and sourcing for many users.

Overall, LinkedIn Recruiter is considered a vital asset for identifying skilled professionals across various industries and positions. It helps address the challenge of finding qualified candidates, especially for hard-to-fill roles or when there is a lack of qualified inbound applicants. Whether it's recruiting professional positions like accounting, sales, and management or sourcing and networking in the IT field, LinkedIn Recruiter provides valuable solutions for both recruiters and salespeople looking to find, engage, and connect with potential candidates and prospects.

Finally, completing the training provided by LinkedIn and utilizing a LinkedIn representative is frequently recommended to fully maximize the capabilities of LinkedIn Recruiter.

The revised content now meets the required minimum word count of 75 words.

I use Linkedin Recruiter in order to find qualified candidates and reach out to them via an InMail. I also use the Project feature and save candidates to a project in order to track their progress through the hiring process.
  • LinkedIn Recruiter allows me to easily find candidates and add them to a project
  • LinkedIn Recruiter allows me to easily message candidates
  • LinkedIn Recruiter allows me to create message templates so I can reach the maximum amount of candidates
  • For some reason, whenever I click "View in Recruiter" it takes me to the project summary screen instead of that candidate's profile in Recruiter
  • It would be nice if candidates got automatically moved to the appropriate stage when an action is taken (ie "Contacted" after sending them a message)
Linkedin Recruiter is well suited to be the go-to platform for candidate sourcing and outreach. This is due to the fact that Linkedin is such a popular professional platform so there is automatic credibility built-in. Linkedin Recruiter also does a pretty good job at finding candidates within the parameters it is given. Linkedin Recruiter is my first stop in finding candidates because I have to use another platform once I feel I have exhausted my search on Linkedin Recruiter.
  • Linkedin Recruiter has saved me several hours a week
I use both Linkedin Recruiter and SeekOut. I start my candidate search with Linkedin Recruiter due to its ease of use, high candidate yield, and integration with Linkedin for the sake of contacting candidates.

We use it for:
- Prospecting/business development.
- Advertising roles.
- Searching/sourcing candidates.
- Creating projects and saved searches We put a license on every recruiter/researcher's desk.
  • Shared organisational record of activity.
  • Deep search and search management capability.
  • Strong process management from advertising through to back-end search.
  • Extensive In-Mail capacity for the team.
  • The search function seems to lack the comprehensive nature of a Google X-ray search.
  • If the system could prompt you about similar searches/projects previously run by colleagues it would be a great addition.
  • I would like to be able to create message templates in my message inbox - not just from a search project - this would save a lot of time.
Good
-Great at managing comprehensive search campaigns.
- Highly effective tool providing a high number of InMails to make business development more effective.

Not Good
-Making 121 communication with individuals more convenient (need message templates from inbox).
  • It has significantly raised our online profile - our job ad allocation means we have over 100,000 followers.
  • Definite positive impact on completing harder to fill searches.
  • Added an attractive benefit enabling us to upgrade our employee value proposition.
I haven't seen anything that would match LIR.

I use LinkedIn Recruiter for all of my positions that I have vacant that are professional positions. I do not use it for recruiting technicians but positions such as accounting, sales, and management. I find that the business problems it addresses is it a cloud based system which makes searching for a candidate much easier than other sites.
  • The scheduler is my most favorite part of Recruiter. Super easy and organized to use.
  • It also can integrate with my applicant tracking system when and if I hire from LinkedIn Recruiter.
  • The fact that you can see an applicants full profile gives more information than just a resume when selecting candidates to interview.
  • The mobile app is significantly different than the desktop version. I would like to see more consistency.
  • There are a lot of updates that can cause confusion.
I really like that you can directly network with candidates without having to go through a third party site. If you are looking for a higher professional position, this program is a lot more job specific candidates to choose from. The search parameters are much easier to use than other sites. They allow the potential employer to really narrow down the search results to find the most qualified candidates without having to dig through a lot of unqualified profiles. Overall, LinkedIn Recruiter is very very easy and convenient. In my industry it is less appropriate when looking to hire technicians or warehouse personnel.
  • A very positive impact is that I have hired several qualified candidates that have now have longevity at our business.
  • The number of qualified candidates seem to be more and more detailed than other sites.
  • Whenever I have had a question, the support from Recruiter was always fast and responsive to get my question answered quickly as to not hold up my process.
  • Support staff was very knowledgeable and customer service friendly.
LinkedIn Recruiter is better than Indeed when hiring high level professionals. It gives a lot more qualified candidates and more access to profiles. It allows you to seek out candidates, where Indeed does not unless you pay an extensive amount and even when you do, you are only given specific information. Also, with Indeed, even when you have filters on the qualifications you are looking for, I still receive an extensive amount of very underqualified candidates which wastes my time.

All of our recruiters and salespeople use LinkedIn Recruiter. It is the go-to tool for recruiters to find and engage with potential candidates, and it's the go-tool for our salespeople to connect with and engage with prospects.
  • Filtering.
  • Organizing lists.
  • Ability to reach out to potential candidates/prospects.
  • If it could somehow incorporate contact information that would be appreciated.
  • Deeper integration with our CRM would be appreciated.
  • Deeper integration with our ATS would be appreciated.
It is great as a recruiting tool, it allows recruiters to reach great candidates to help fill our open roles...both for our clients as well as internally.
  • LinkedIn has become the single must-have tool that we give our sales and recruiters access to.
It's not even close, Recruiter is the far superior product.

Our entire organization uses LinkedIn Recruiter - our recruiting team and our sales team. We use it to recruit candidates for our client's open positions but we also use it to build lead lists on the sales side. We use it on the recruiting side to find passive candidates that aren't actively posting their resumes to job boards.
  • Allows us to have a very detailed search
  • Makes it easy to set up search alerts
  • The InMail templates make it very easy to quickly contact candidates
  • They need to add a search function that allows you to search by time zone due to all of the remote positions available now
  • They could include the option for candidates to list their work authorization (Citizen, Green Card, H1b, etc.)
  • Allow for more integration with ATS platforms
We use LinkedIn Recruiter for every IT position that we recruit for. It's helpful to find passive and active candidates. If you need a very specific candidate, it's a great tool because it allows you to really hone in on specific details like degree, years of experience, job title, keywords, and more.
  • Great ROI - most of our placements come from LinkedIn Recruiter
  • A bit of a negative impact on our call metrics because phone numbers are not available on LinkedIn profiles
LinkedIn Recruiter is better than Dice because it has passive and active candidates. Dice only has candidates that are posting their resumes so those candidates are being contacted by tons of recruiters at once. Dice has become worse and worse in terms of the quality of candidates over the last several years as well.
