June 3, 2022

5.0

In today's technology-driven marketplace, the potential of recruiting new talent has not been easier thanks to Linkedin's ability to centralize candidate information in one place. With its outreach tools and talent database, Linkedin is a force to be reckoned with in any industry where talent is key to business growth.

LinkedIn for Business is a complete digital solution for mid-sized businesses, supporting talent acquisition, employee engagement, learning and development — all from one comprehensive platform.

Cons

Fake profiles on LinkedIn are another reason why users are frustrated with the social media website. There is a lot of spam asking for favors.

### "Utilizing Accomplishment with LinkedIn for Business"

August 12, 2023

5.0

If you're a professional or business owner, LinkedIn for Business is a must-use platform. It offers exclusive features tailored to meet specific needs, making it an invaluable resource for development and brand promotion. The platform prioritizes professional connections, industry insights, and targeted marketing efforts, making it the go-to for all your business needs.

Pros

What I love about LinkedIn for Business is that it serves as a powerful platform that connects professionals and facilitates knowledge sharing within industries. It also enables users to cultivate valuable relationships for the purpose of conducting business discussions and collaborations.

Cons

Although LinkedIn is a professional platform, there have been many privacy concerns regarding data security and third-party access. Users need to be cautious about the information they share and whether their privacy settings are effective.

### "Linkedin for Business is great!"

August 5, 2022

5.0

Linkedin for Business helped me get my job and will continue to be a resource for training, in software testing as well as leadership, personal development, etc.

Pros

What I like most about this software is that I can promote myself and update certifications and ongoing training. Also making new contacts for ongoing training

Cons

At $35 a month it is somewhat pricey as I have subscriptions to other software and it all adds up

When I was recruiting I got some great leads. Presently I am able to grow affiliate contacts and I love that

Pros

It’s accessible for free with still a fair amount of essentialism

Cons

It isn’t something I need all the time, so I stopped paying for the subscription but I still use it on its minimal tray.

Reason for choosing LinkedIn for Business

I know a lot of others that use it

### "Linkedin for business"

November 13, 2023

5.0

Pros

1\. I like the easy management of recruitment advertising. The job listings are promptly posted and thus can draw necessary traffic timeously. 2. Networking is the best on the app, or website. For both candidates and recruiters the platform is set for both to meet and conclude deals within the required time.

Cons

It has not been communicated to the clientele or patrons of Linkedin that the platform is predominantly a business and professional platform. One finds that there are a lot of users who enter the platform and have put professionalism aside.

### "An honest review of LinkedIn"

October 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

LinkedIn is everything work professionals need to connect and interact. 1) Professional social network feel - I like the ability to share posts, add comments, message connections and find jobs, or opportunities. 2) The connections feature is probably the most underrated feature of LinkedIn. It's not just enough to have connections, if your connections know you well, they can recommend you for skills, on job applications and more. 3) LinkedIn Premium features may not seem like they are worth the extra money but if you can afford it, there are some valuable features that you can use - The most obvious one is see who had viewed your profile. For some reason you have to pay for this but it is a good feature to have. - The Featured Applicant feature under LinkedIn Premium is great for job seekers, where you can apply for jobs and are put at the top of a recruiters list. - E-Learning courses - LinkedIn allows you to also take elearning courses (from their purchase of Lynda.com) to update your skills and even save courses for future reference.

Cons

1) LinkedIn tends to send too many emails notifications over the course of the week. There is a way to turn them off but it seems a bit odd that a social network would be sending out so many emails. 2) Not everyone will find the premium features useful. Yes it is great to be able to apply for jobs or see who has viewed your profile, but those do not always seem to justify the cost of membership.

### "Media to Network "

November 18, 2020

5.0

I have made many new connections in LinkedIn and when I meet someone new, I get connected with them and know more about them. If see an opportunity in some organization, It helps me to know who else works here, so that I can get referral or learn more about the opportunity.

Pros

Best media to network with your connection and find the new opportunity and keep you updated. Helps you to learn new technology and news, job opportunity, organization in which people around you are working with.

Cons

Sometime the post get repeated, when you see your own post the number of views to the post increases (which is not supposed to happen) limits the number connection a user can have.

### "Network experts"

June 17, 2023

5.0

LinkedIn has been an incredibly useful platform for me, and I've found it to be a great way to connect with other professionals in my field

Pros

Basically, all I can say is that I appreciate the customized advice it provides based on my interests and professional goals. The professional app enhances my job search and networking efforts, and above all, the best part is that it is completely free to use, and the business account won't break the bank to use.

Cons

It uses data (which is not free, like any other app), but the interface is user-friendly and simple to use.

### "LinkedIn Review"

February 19, 2021

5.0

LinkedIn is so far one of the best platforms for recruiters as well as for job seekers with many users. It is a reliable, useful, simple and powerful tool in providing effective communication between job seekers and employers worldwide. It helps the recruiters to locate competent employees faster that any other platforms and also it will help the job seekers to connect easily with employers and land in a high paying job more efficiently than other platform.

Pros

LinkedIn is one of the best and most trusted job searching application in the world. This is true because of the fact that a lot of people included myself have gotten great result with using LinkedIn in getting a job and participating in job-driven skills training necessary for developing the required skills that the employers are looking for. Even though the free version of LinkedIn also provides good services for job seekers, but the premium version provides the most relevant and trustworthy connection between large and famous recruiters and job seekers all over the world. The training includes but not limited to time management, organisational skills, administrative skills, IT skills and so on. In conclusion, I strongly recommend LinkedIn for people who are trying to find a good job with a good company because of the advantages I mentioned in my review.

Cons

The positive things about this software outweighs the negative points because I thought a lot about anything negative about LinkedIn, and after too much thinking, I only can point out some little improvement that could make LinkedIn easier to use for people who have less knowledge of Information Technology. This task could be done by simplifying some features for creating our profile on LinkedIn.

### "Good for to build a professional network"

February 1, 2021

5.0

LinkedIn helped me to find my previous job, and it helped me to build my professional network. It saves your time and effort when you are actively in job market. The most recruiters search you on LinkedIn (they see your certificates, licenses, skills and endorsements which give them good impression about you), before connecting to you by phone. And I also search for the company or the person to make myself familiar so my phone interview goes better.

Pros

in LinkedIn you build your professional profile. You can write your resume on About section so recruiters can easily decide whether you are suitable candidate before contacting to you. another good feather I like is In Dashbord it shows how many people viewed your profile, in how many searches you appeared. Another good feature you can open multiple message windows at the same time, that helps you texting with multiple person without open-close every time. Free linkedin learning feature is very helpful.

Cons

When creating group message you have to type the names by yourself, yes, it gives you names when you start typing first letter. But, I wish there is already list of the names so you can easily click and add them.

### "LinkedIn - Connecting employers and employess -Review"

September 11, 2022

5.0

Using linkedin is avery great experience. With numerous members, LinkedIn is currently one of the greatest sites for both job searchers and recruiters. It is a dependable, practical, easy-to-use, and effective platform for connecting job seekers and businesses globally. The control feature of who can view my profile and can reach me is very good feature. The certification courses that it provides help to learn more.

Pros

Linkedin is a professional platform so there is easy accessibility to reach many candidates and one can see their updated profiles at a glance. It also provides a 1-month free premium to users so as to check the features are great. Also, it is excellent for networking since, unlike social media, it is professional and enables you to get in touch with coworkers and colleagues. Inmails is one of the best features so far because it helps you to connect professionally with people who are not easy to contact.

Cons

In my capacity as a recruiter, I additionally receive a deluge of private messages and user profiles in response to an opportunity that I have advertised. Since it doesn't actually discover the greatest match, I have to sift through several profiles in order to locate someone who meets my requirements. Also, some people treat it as social media accounts instead of professional networks posting feeds and pictures that irritates sometimes.

### "LinkedIn is the best for making Contacts"

February 8, 2022

5.0

LinkedIn has been very beneficial for our association. We can search for possible contacts and new members. We can also do a great deal of marketing, which helps our association grow and be more successful. New members growing our association is an important part of our success. But also being able to search for those contacts in related fields helps our success as well. We can search for escrow offices, bank loan contacts, maintenance personnel, and more.

Pros

We appreciate having one area to search for possible Real Estate contacts and being able to communicate with our current contacts. LinkedIn is everywhere, so your contacts are endless, which is important in Real Estate. LinkedIn is very easy to use, put in a name or contact word and press enter. The rest is brought to you. There are many options for setting up your LinkedIn page to make it the most appealing and creates the most contacts.

Cons

LinkedIn is easy to use and does not have any aspects that we would change.

Reason for choosing LinkedIn for Business

For searching and marketing we us LinkedIn along with Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

November 25, 2022

It's a very good place to build connections and capacity.

Pros

People on LinkedIn Business are so welcoming, friendly, ready to help and always ready to connect. So, the connect feature is a very good feature Secondly, it also allows users to make connection with people of the same industry to connect and build capacity with just a DM is another great feature. Thirdly, the fact that it is a business only platform and does not welcome any form of unbeneficial post, I really love it.

Cons

The font is an official fonts which is Times New Roman but I guess there should be a better fonts that could be use to keep it cool and calm.

### "Awesome business network platform for leads as well as recruitments"

February 8, 2023

5.0

Great functionality and integration it have, super convenient platform for professionals all around the world. However, it assists in selection or finding the candidates easily in the recruiter process which saves time. Moreover, its the most trusted and valuable platform to grow business, brand awareness, viral content and target audience to improve reach & engagement.

Pros

Easy to create a business page and reach to the targeted audience. Allotted credits help to invite relevant contacts to follow the company page. Moreover, help to prospect the quality leads to grow business. Directly approach \[sensitive content hidden\] and higher level management to share your agenda or convert them as clients, very helpful for sales team.

Cons

Only I want mention here is pricing model which is very high, apart from this there is a limitation of sending the invitations per month.

### "Newest Features Transform Communication between Employers and Job Seekers"

July 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

I love how LinkedIn has added features that drive traffic to user profiles, allowing your profile to serve as an online resume. Rather than constantly reaching out to employers, it enables recruiters to easily reach out to potential candidates as well. One of my favorite features is the recommendation section. I have recommendations on my profile from previous supervisors and co-workers that really legitimize my work experience because recruiters can see my skill set and accomplishments, but they can also see that I have soft skills that can't be easily validated in an interview like being a team player or having a personality that meshes well with others. There's also a switch on your profile that can be turned on to let recruiters know when you are (or are not) open to new opportunities. I was offered my first full-time job 2 months before finishing grad school because I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn and I am forever grateful because its been one of the best jobs I've ever had. LinkedIn is more than a professional network and I believe that it's really transforming the way that we network and approach job searching.

Cons

The things I don't like about LinkedIn are more about the people on LinkedIn than the application itself. However, I think that LinkedIn should do more about preventing those things. What I hate the most is that there are illegitimate jobs posted on LinkedIn that can be scams. In my younger years, I wasn't able to tell these scams from decent jobs. But now, I can tell the difference very easily. I wish LinkedIn would do more to filter these jobs and/or remove them, but I understand how that could be difficult to do without taking away someone's right to post what they want.

### "Global Connections + Self-Publishing = Key Benefits"

May 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

Personal and Corporate use of LinkedIn has evolved during the decade that I've been a member. Originally conceived as a directory of professionals across the globe, the site now includes many additional features. The basic 'Profile' content enables LinkedIn (and now Microsoft) to aggregate information about people and companies. The 'Groups' feature enables LinkedIn to align people and companies with topics. Also, publishing on LinkedIn enables people or companies to post an article, photo or video that can be shared with followers. The site can be effectively used with the 'Free' version (which is advertiser supported), with many more capabilities available in the 'Premium' version. Note, LinkedIn owns 'Slideshare' which enables the publishing of presentation content, also available for 'Free' use, that can be embedded in posts on the LinkedIn site.

Cons

LinkedIn periodically updates the user interface of the site. Sometimes the changes are an improvement, other times the UI updates create minor confusion (until members discover the benefits). Also, LinkedIn is constantly being challenged to counter the acts of Spammers who attempt to manipulate the capabilities of the site. At times, changes targeting the acts of Spammers negatively impact other members. Members must learn to configure their own 'Settings' to limit the unwanted solicitations of Spammers.
