Use Cases and Deployment Scope

LinkedIn Talent has played an important role in my organisation's recruiting success. It's an excellent platform to post the requirements/ job descriptions. You manage to get attract even passive candidates, can visit unlimited profiles, get enough InMails options. And best part is you get genuine and honest candidates. You get applications with complete contact details which is also very useful thing since on other platforms, you can't get complete contact details.

Pros and Cons

Most importantly you get genuine talent pool via LinkedIn. Usually candidates don't put fake experiences over LinkedIn so you get only genuine candidates.
You can find candidates for all the skill sets over LinkedIn so wide variety, diversity you can get.
I really like the feature they have added "candidates who will most likely to respond". And yes those are active job seekers, they quickly respond to Inmails and it speeds up the hiring process.

Response time is slow. People don't check InMails so actively.
Lots of candidates are not active on social media so they don't have LinkedIn Account. That means you can't rely on LinkedIn completely.
It can be little expensive for small companies.

Return on Investment

Overall is positive ROI since we are recruiting firm, we completely utilize LinkedIn Talent. Though it's expensive but it's up to the user if they can completely utilize it.
I have hired for niche skills requirement though LinkedIn and saved cost to the company.
Lots of job posting can be done at same time and you get good quantity of applications so definitely its positive ROI. And you get enough InMails as well.

Support Rating

LinkedIn Talent customer support is pretty responsive and give satisfied solutions to the issues. I have taken the training many from them, whenever they add new feature they will let you know. They explain each and every feature during the training which sometimes we are not able to explore as users.

Likelihood to Recommend

Best for technical, c- level requirement hiring. If you have any niche skill requirement then LinkedIn is the best job board without a doubt. You know the candidate's credibility as they can have professional recommendation over their profiles from managers, clients and co workers. LinkedIn InMails response time is very slow especially if you're hiring for engineering requirements.

Excellent platform to hire excellent resources
