Use Cases and Deployment Scope

LinkedIn Talent hub allows me to search for candidates with a specific skill set. By using the functions provided, I am able to search for keywords, and find candidates who may not be on other search engines, such as Indeed, or actively looking for another position. I am able to "cold call" people and at least put my companies' names in their mind.

Pros and Cons

Search Engine
Job Specific Details
Large Candidate Possibilities

More Entry Level Candidates
Further Reach

Return on Investment

The Candidate pool is hit or miss - Sometimes I can't find the person I am looking for.
You have to advertise multiple times to keep your job relevant.

Alternatives Considered

Indeed ADS (Sponsored Jobs)

I personally enjoy Sponsored Jobs BUT it gives you a very wide range of applicants. Many of them are not qualified for the position you are recruiting for. I would prefer quality of quantity when it comes to my hard to fill positions.

Likelihood to Recommend

LinkedIn Talent Hub is well suited for my higher position that require a certain skillset. I am almost always guaranteed to find PGY-1 or PGY-2 Residents on LinkedIn, open to new opportunities.

On the other hand, I find it hard to find some of my other positions that don't require a 4-year degree. The people with those skillsets aren't always on LinkedIn, like they are Indeed or Glassdoor.

Not your everyday candidate search
