Overall Satisfaction with LinkedIn Talent

We use LinkedIn talent primarily to resource potential hires. It's been great because we can have folks who are usually doing non-value add activities fill their excess time with sourcing. It's very easy to use and even more simple to fit into your operation. Our response rate is generally about 20% and we're looking to hire many of our folks who we sourced through LinkedIn Talent.
  • Small funnel - you can get very targeted
  • Separates your professional network from your prospecting network
  • Ability to add many people to projects and automate messages
  • I would love to see the ability to differentiate whether you are looking for undergrad or graduate students
  • Reduced the number of candidates we have to source
  • Higher quality of candidates
N/A - we previously source from indeed and other job boards. We have begun piloting WayuUp and RippleMatch. They are good passive systems, but we also like having an active system.
It's great for sourcing candidates. Especially when you have a specific focus on hard facts you want. (School, Time in career, location etc.)

It can improve by creating profiles about people and seeing who fits the profiles for jobs. It would be great to see a way to get suggestions for jobs you are trying to fill.
