Overall Satisfaction with LinkedIn Talent Hub
It is being used mainly by the recruiting team here at HireVergence. We use it to identify active and passive candidates on LinkedIn that may not be on the job boards. It is solving the problem of finding candidates that may not traditionally post their resumes. It is a wonderful tool to find candidates for direct-hire roles that might be passively looking for work.
- It is excellent at finding and interacting with passive candidates.
- Excellent at finding talent locally or across the globe.
- Great finding hard-to-find skills out in the marketplace.
- Great at searching for folks on LinkedIn (versus the normal, unpaid search options).
- The search tools are tricky. I cannot search by title (seniority), just years of experience which can be challenging.
- You cannot search by a specific keyword unless it is already an accepted keyword in LinkedIn's repository.
- Searching for people locally can be a challenge, as just picking the state doesn't necessarily give you the whole state. Example, when I search Massachusetts it seems to not include individuals living in Boston. I don't know why this issue is still present.
- I have found several candidates for roles with LinkedIn Recruiter Pro.
- I have found many clients doing research on LinkedIn
LinkedIn Recruiter Pro can be used in conjunction with a lead tool like DiscoverOrg. However, LinkedIn is way better when it comes to more accurate data and a larger data set. One provides phone numbers (DiscoverOrg) while LI Recruiter Pro offers a way to inmail (email). I find LI Recruiter Pro to be a bit better for prospecting and finding talent.
