Director of Recruiting Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Worth the price tag " July 7, 2022 5.0 Pros My team and I use LI Recruiter every day- and some days it feels like we'd be lost without it. It makes it easy to do both broad and highly detailed candidate searches, and stay organized with different job orders and messaging. Cons There honestly is much I can say in terms of negatives.

Recruiter Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An elite recruiting tool " January 13, 2023 5.0 Pros I love that you can create projects, templates and easily manage candidates. I also enjoy that you can see if the candidate has no accepted your InMail requests. Cons I wish that candidate received better alerts regarding their InMail messages. Review Source KB Kelly B. Senior Talent Acquisition Partner Biotechnology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Must have product for high-volume recruiting" August 25, 2022 5.0 Pros LinkedIn Recruiter is my go-to product for sourcing and candidate outreach. The main value is the database of candidates in the system. The software is easy enough to figure out how to set up projects and source. Cons LinkedIn sometimes makes product updates that completely change how you use the system. That's always frustrating. It's expensive. I wish there was not such a big gap in price and functionality between Recruiter and Recruiter Lite. I also wish LinkedIn was more open with other softwares building APIs. LinkedIn is very protective of its data, and that makes building tools on top of LinkedIn difficult. Review Source KG Kimberly G. Executive Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Invaluable resource for recruiters" April 8, 2022 5.0 I use LinkedIn daily for my job and it is an invaluable resource for me. Pros A world of potential candidates are at my fingertips Ease of use Upgraded features Good technical support Great tracking features Good interaction with ATS software Cons Expensive I wish there were more options Review Source SA Shubham A.

I enjoy working on LinkedIn. It really help me in getting best pool of candidate from market for various skill set. Pros LinkedIn recruiter is one of the best sourcing tool to find the candidate pool in different Geographical region and also find out the candidate for various skill set Cons Nothing as such, If I find anything where there is need of improvement, I will surely update the LinkedIn team Review Source KLN K Lakshmi N. Director - HR Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good platform for Recruiters" January 9, 2023 5.0 Good training, setup of the product. ROI is easy. Pros A Global reach of candidates for technology and non technology candidates. You can publish jobs for any location and the responses from candidates are instant. Some roles like QA, Sales among others will get a large set of resumes from potential candidates. The best part is you can reach to potential passive candidate's through the portal. Cons Some the response are very poor for niche technology skills. Very limited applications. Sometime lot of responses are fake specially in USA. Review Source Cesar M. Digital Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Your best option to hire quality talent for your company" July 12, 2022 5.0 We needed to fill 3 senior and 5 junior positions. We had been looking for candidates for at least 3 months. I gave Linkedin recruiter a try and in less than 1 week we had more than 150 applications from professionals matching our ideal candidate. Easy to set up and to modify according to our needs. Pros Linkedin Recruiter lets you unleash the power of the vast user base of Linkedin. You list your job opening and then wait and see your candidates start to appear. It's easy to set up and tweak the different options, it even gives you the option to create assessment questions to increase the quality of your candidates. Cons It's a bit pricier. In the current environment it's understandable since hiring a good fit for your firm is quite difficult, but maybe they can offer a cheaper tier.

Executive Recruiter Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Source for Candidates" June 23, 2022 5.0 Pros Great source for passive candidates to connect with and start the process to see if they are open to a move. Cons Really no hinderances....would be nice if you could put in a resume vs. just a name and find someone like that. Review Source ZC Zack C. Recruiter Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Necessary" June 20, 2023 3.0 Pros It makes a recruiter’s job more strategic and diversified candidate funnels Cons The website is laggy and sometimes interrupts the work day with crashes. Review Source Maria Alejandra R. Operations Supervisor Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good App" January 17, 2023 5.0 In general, my experience with the social network has been quite good and has even allowed me to fill many of the vacancies for senior positions that I had available at the time. Pros One of the best features is the access to candidates from many professional profiles and even being able to send them a direct message and communicate with them in real-time. Cons that many of the candidates who are on the network are not actively updating their professional profiles, which often makes it difficult for searchers to be accurate. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sourcer Computer Hardware Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Search and Link with LinkedIn Recruiter " February 15, 2022 4.0 Pros LinkedIn Recruiter is great for sourcing/recruiting potential candidates for many positions. It offers multiple tools to assist you in your searches as well. You can even add coworkers into your project pipelines to assist on searching as well. Cons I believe that there should be a feature to remove candidates from a search if they have been reviewed by someone within the same corporation. It would make searching quicker and easier on finding qualifying candidates. Review Source Agnes A.

Talent Acquisition Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "LinkedIn Recruiter" April 12, 2022 5.0 Pros Finding people to connect with them in a professional context Cons Almost none, maybe adding better recommendations we are looking for by taking better into account the criteria in our search Review Source HG Harshit G. Sr. Digital Marketing Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Recruitment Tool for Hiring Purpose" March 5, 2023 4.0 Pros This seems to be the best tool for hiring purposes and allows the HR of the company to concentrate on selecting the candidates and rest of the work is been done by LinkedIn Recruiter. It is very less cumbersome software and very user friendly to use as well. Cons There is not support for the LinkedIn recruiter software and also there is no billing invoice generated on the portal. Review Source AW Allie W. Recruitment Consultant Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "LinkedIn Recruiter: The Perfect Recruitment Tool" December 23, 2021 5.0 I really like LinkedIn Recruiter, and it has definitely helped me expand my network of talented candidates. Pros It is very easy to search for the type of candidate you need. You can filter by location, industry, keywords, and so much more. There are even advanced features, such as the "open to work" option or profiles that have public resumes. It is also so easy to tell people's activity on linkedin. For example, how many jobs they have applied to, if someone in your account has also contacted them, any many other little insights into candidates. Cons I don't like that location and zip code bring up different results. If I put in Boston as a location, I feel like I should get the same results as a Boston Zip Code. Instead, I get an entire new list of candidates. This is frustrating, since they are the same, but I feel like I need to do 2 searches every time.
