Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use LinkedIn Talent in one of the organizations that I volunteer for. It is used to find new candidates for open positions. It has an edge over other similar tools, as it's popular, and because most active candidates who are looking for jobs, will usually have LinkedIn profile and network.

Pros and Cons

Easy.
Popular.

Explain features in a better way.
Marketing.

Return on Investment

This depends on market, the ROI is good when we are actively looking for new employees.
When there are no open positions, this investment seems dead temporarily.

Alternatives Considered

Zoho Recruit and SmartRecruiters

Association of the LinkedIn Talent with LinkedIn is a great plus. This association makes this talent search tool more trustworthy, and resourceful. We can also assess the market and what other recruiters are doing, whom are the candidates preferring. The LinkedIn networking is wide and popular adding its edge to the talent tool.

Support Rating

I haven't contacted the customer support. The tool is always up and never had any downtime issues while using. Also it is easy to use and seems familiar when you have a LinkedIn profile. There is also an option to auto-fill the information from LinkedIn profile, making it more convenient and less time consuming.
