Overall Satisfaction with LinkedIn Talent
LinkedIn talent is being used by the HR team for passive recruiting sourcing techniques. It's also used to post jobs in the marketplace and search for candidates to build a pipeline. It addresses a need to source top talent that may not otherwise see our job posting on a job board.
- Opens up access to a significant pool of talent -- both passive and active. You will get your hands on more prospects vs. sitting and waiting for responses from job board postings.
- They offer many ways to search and narrow down the results with various keywords and parameters. This ensures you are seeing talent in line with your needs.
- You have the ability to create projects and save candidates you might be interested in to those projects (easy reference point for the future). You can also share the projects with your team so others can add candidates to them.
- I like that you can set yourself up to be anonymous so candidates don't see who is viewing their profile. Sometimes that can be beneficial.
- It is very costly, so for a small company, or one of a tight budget, it may not be something they can afford. Maybe there should be a lower-cost option with minimal functionality.
- I wish there was more streamlined functionality with the job seats. It will show me who has applied or maybe who has attempted to apply; however, the communications about these applicants is not consistent. I often have to login and try and see who has applied through the job seat.
- This tool has increased out ability to close open positions faster through sourcing and passive candidate access
- The quality of our hires has increased because we have less turnover and better initial 90-day performance reviews
- Indeed
LinkedIn has better search functionality and you get to see profiles vs. just resumes. Easier access to contact candidates as well.
