HR Director Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HR Director" January 30, 2026 4.0 Overall it was a great experience. I like the interaction that I can get with candidates and with organizations. I like to see where my candidates stand in comparison to the pool. Pros I do like the amount of candidates that you can reach with this platform and I personally appreciate the options for the candidates on the employer side and the candidate side. Cons That it didn't link to our company page. As a person in HR it is hard when our employees are posting on their own without some protection to the organization. Review Source LD Lindsey D.

Giving starts the process of receiving . Pros Value for Money - free would be better, don't like how you advertise free for a month - take cc then charge Customer Support - No exp Ease of Use - 4/5, finding what I want within in my profile I find a challenge Employee Management - NA Features - 5/5 Recruitment Process - NA - used in the past - Very Good Profile Management - Very good Cons The cost, and inability to dive deeper on freemium. It would be better to open more services on that model than requiring payment. Review Source EH Elizabeth H. MYSELF Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "LinkedIn - thank you" December 27, 2025 5.0 Overall I am very happy with LinkedIn and feel it is a incredible resource for networking and keeping in touch with old coworkers. Pros Hi, I know that Linked In is always there if I ever lose my job or am actively looking for a new job. Being connected it important. Cons I don't like how the user can see who is looking at their profile. Sometimes you want to look at profiles in private. Review Source AJ Alan J. Servente Government Relations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My fantastic experience with the largest Professional Social Network." February 27, 2025 5.0 I have excellent experience with LinkedIn. I've even managed to get several jobs through him and I can only be grateful for that. It was a fantastic experience I would say. Pros Excellent app/website for looking for job opportunities whether in-person, hybrid or home office. Being an important professional and intuitive Social Network with a lot of information. Cons The downside would be the issue of having greater visibility only in the premium plans, but I know that the platform needs to have an income on top of all this to maintain its proper functioning. Review Source SP Stuart P.

Director Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Recruitment is easy with LinkedIn Jobs" May 29, 2025 5.0 LinkedIn Jobs is a great tool for attractive suitable applicants for current vacancies. The response is fast and efficient. Pros I have used LinkedIn Jobs to advertise current vacancies which as always given my a lot of qualified applications with a short period of time. Cons As you tend to get a lot of applications it is sometimes hard to filter the results in order to select the ones that are the best fit. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Software Developer Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Find your job, collaborate with other employees and companies" February 1, 2025 5.0 Pros LinkedIn Jobs is the most used job Board, Thanks to LinkedIn I got my job Cons For more chances to get a better job based on your profile, you need to pay 35 dollars as monthly subscription, also, with the new AI era, there are more options that can help you find a job, also creating a good CV to any platform or company request. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Find better Career Opportunities via LinkedIn" December 25, 2024 4.0 Overall I have good experience with LinkedIn because I got always better options via LinkedIn so thankyou so much linked in to help me for make a better carrier.

Cons Nothing to like this and thanks to LinkedIn to got good opportunities Review Source AC Amie C. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A wonderful resource to find like minded people in your field of business." January 16, 2025 5.0 Have used it for years and think it's a great tool for people looking for new work or for people who are just trying to connect with other like minded people. There is a lot of mentorship opportunity available and positivity as well. Pros Whether you are looking for likeminded business people to connect with or looking for possible candidates for hiring, linkedIn is definitely the place to go. It's basically your resume online, but in a unique way that allows you to connect with other people inside your industry. Cons They can overwhelm you with emails if you opt in to that. I like getting information from time to time, but daily emails is to much. Review Source HS Harpreet S.

Proprietor Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good points and bad points of recruitment" May 27, 2019 3.0 There can be no doubt that this profile-based job alert system is pretty good. The one-click application process is a bonus. Sometimes, however, all you receive is an automated acknowledgement from the recruiter, not necessarily the fault of LinkedIn, but perhaps they (LinkedIn) ought to force ALL recruiters to actually formalise a rejection so at least you know where you stand. Pros Possibly the strongest point in favour of LinkedIn Jobs is the fact that when you indicate you are looking for a job, you are fed relevant jobs based on your profile without being plagued by irrelevant jobs from fishing recruitment consultants. There can be no doubt that in terms of relevancy, LinkedIn tends to be more "transparent" than the average aggregate job site because more jobs pro-rate are placed directly by the actual recruiters rather than commissioned intermediaries. The fact that your job seeking is based on your public profile is of benefit to both you as the user and to recruiters out there - assuming there is honesty on both parties! It is also helped by the fact that direct-recruiters seem to have made a LinkedIn profile part of their recruitment requirements, which reinforces the usefulness of LinkedIn Jobs, and you can rely on the fact that unless you see otherwise (often rather obvious from any job advertisements), most positions will be genuine, as it is easy to see which are direct opportunities, and which are through (dreaded) third parties who may be on a fishing expedition. The process of completing your job profile couldn't really be simpler, and it does encourage you, because your peers will be present and will often see your profile, of being honest and open, which is not a bad thing. Cons Once the "good and the great" recruitment consultants start posting jobs for their "leading clients", many of which are neither leading nor in fact often even their actual clients, usability and transparency dips dramatically. The downside might be that you do not necessarily wish your public LinkedIn profile to say you are actively job hunting. Also, the fact that "busy" HR people are too often self-importantly "too busy" to perform the simple process of tracking and reporting back a rejection, if only out of simple courtesy and good manners, so the oneness is on you to remember that "if you don't hear back within 10 days you can assume they are not taking your application any further". However, in fairness, this new-found lack of courtesy is part of the problem with modern HR and no necessarily with LinkedIn Review Source R.Manoj A. Product Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Place to Find Jobs that match your passion" June 13, 2021 5.0 Easy to use and helps user achieve their goal in clicks very faster. Pros LinkedIn jobs help every job seeker to easily apply for the job with a single click with the help of the easy apply feature this saves a lot of time. As a result the entire LinkedIn profile of the candidate is submitted to the company where they can see all his achievements, experience and projects easily instead of downloading a resume.It also helps the Job poster to ask quick and specific questions to the Job applicant like :Why do you want to join us and How much experience do you have in using tool etc. This also helps to clearly select the best employees for their company. Cons Some advanced features like plagiarism or comparing two LinkedIn profiles based on various metrics can be added which would really help a lot in hiring for experienced product roles.

Child care worker Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "LinkedIn makes job searching so easy" November 18, 2021 4.0 LinkedIn helps me apply for jobs and keep my résumé online so that way if I ever need to work I can simply go onto LinkedIn and find a position that seems to be a match apply and wait on the company’s response it’s pretty easy! Pros LinkedIn makes job searching so easy, i’m able to apply for work right through the website I can upload my résumé and add any previous jobs or certifications that I may have right through the website and it adds it to my applications for me! LinkedIn also allows me to communicate with other employers that may have any types of questions! Cons There’s not really much that I don’t like about linked in however if you are new to LinkedIn and are not familiar with the program it can be a little bit difficult to navigate through the site and figure everything out! Review Source Hazbar K. Tech Solutions Manager Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "World's Leading Professional Network" December 22, 2021 4.0 This software is more than just functionalities and features, it is way of branding your professional self or a company to build its repute as well as it is curated to connect organizations and people in the professional world. It is more like a platform to build your success, whether it is a company looking for talent or a person looking to grow or succeed in his or her career. Pros The best thing is how vast this platform is and when combined with its powerful search or hunting mechanisms, whether people looking for jobs or companies looking for people, it helps find the best options for both entities through various features. Cons There is not much to dislike about this platform, however, there is always opportunity to improve and I would love to see it grow and get better. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Cybersecurity Analyst Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "LinkedIn Jobs" January 20, 2022 3.0 Overall, this medium cannot be used as the only source for job applications. As it does not maintain up to date database of jobs and is late as compared to other portals. However it is essential to filter job search and check companies with their job areas to offer. Pros I like the various filters LinkedIn has to offer. I can select jobs filtering out according to the job categories, areas, skills, companies, location, and salary range. I definitely think it has more to offer. Cons The least feature or thing I like would be the job recommendations as per the profile match. It does not take education (present or current education) into consideration for job recommendations. It only considers the full-time job criteria. However, this would be an improvement and not a feature flaw. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Electrical Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Most Reliable Jobs Website" January 23, 2022 5.0 I believe that Linkedin is the most reliable and trustworthy website for offering and applying for jobs. It is an excellent method of selecting talented employees. Pros It is the first website for me to search for reliable jobs. There are three features that I like most. First, all the announced jobs are from major companies and institutions with high reliability, and you can easily browse the advertisement publisher’s page and check the company and its field of work and people’s opinions about it. Secondly, the advertised jobs contain a very complete and sufficient description of the job requirements, qualifications, and responsibilities. Automatically, the website, based on my personal page, nominates the best suitable jobs for me. I can also know the number of applicants and my ranking among them. Third, I can communicate with the recruitment officials who publish advertisements quite easily, sharing my CV with them, unlike other websites that are not even able to know the recruitment and you can't communicate with him directly. Cons In my perspective, there is only one disadvantage. It's the fact that certain job adverts need you to go to the company's main website, establish a new account, and then apply for the position from the main site. I believe that allowing direct submission via Linkedin is the best option. Review Source HS Hadi S. Recruitment Team Lead Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Linkedin Jobs review" June 18, 2022 5.0 It has been great working with LinkedIn. IT helped us to attract active talent from LinkedIn and find talent effectively and easily. IT helped us to find candidates in the Civil domain that no other job board could. Overall i will rate this system a 10. Pros The product is phenomenal. It is best for active recruitment in commercial space. The AI of the system is top of the chain and finds the best matches from LinkedIn. The applicant database is the biggest and the UI/UX is the cherry on the cake. Cons The prising. They do not negotiate a penny. Reason for choosing LinkedIn Jobs Largest database and ease of reaching out to talent + No geographical boundaries. Review Source Chiamaka O. Self employed Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use" October 25, 2022 5.0 I use it to look for job opportunity, advertise my business and express my experience in words, tell my stories and give encouragement, share love and words of wisdom. I have a beautiful experience with this software. Pros In love with the opportunity it gives me to apply to job opportunity, post my business and connect with friends. I love how I express my emotions and get people's opinions. Cons Its really expensive and to get the attention of a job poster you are to pay and upgrade your profile to premiere stage. Its a very expensive app if you are to upgrade. But its beautiful and easy to use.
