Overall Satisfaction with LinkedIn Talent

LinkedIn Talent is primarily being used only on our Recruiting Team, not cross functionally. LinkedIn Talent not only helps us from a business perspective on our team, but acting as a talent partner for our hiring managers that we support. Finding ways to address each team's needs and how to incorporate that into our talent strategy.
  • Allows us to know when candidates or newsworthy information is updated - giving us real time updates.
  • Ability to maximize our search features to provide the best available talent in the area.
  • Building out specified projects to each need we have.
  • No ability to export LinkedIn Projects to Excel.
  • Providing the same profiles at the top rather than mixing up the clientele.
  • Location needs to be specified more than just general areas but more defined geographic cities rather than just "San Francisco Bay Area"
  • Positive: Shown to have a major impact on bringing in top quality candidates from a sourced perspective and promoting out our jobs via Social Media
  • Positive: Simple search features and design to make the hardest position to fill a simple task
  • Negative: Reporting features need a lot of work. With data being the #1 key, the features do not match what we're looking for.
Reporting metrics that are designed or have the ability to create dashboards to our needs. With the amount of information that we're gathering, would love to have one location where we can input everything instead of storing this not only in LinkedIn but our ATS and HCM. I'll keep saying that data and reporting are the two crucial areas LinkedIn needs to heavily invest in.
LinkedIn Talent is well suited to what a recruiter needs to be successful. With the right training and material that is being incorporated, it allows even the earliest person getting into Talent to find success. Some scenarios on where it's not ideal would be on adapting to the ever growing market and jobs. Where it's a competitive slate, real time marketing updates and information on companies that would benefit not only the recruiter but the candidate as well.
