### "Much better than free job posts"

January 26, 2022

5.0

Generally positive. Far more effective than a free LinkedIn job post (unfortunately, I’m sure that’s intentional by LinkedIn)

Pros

LinkedIn Recruiter helped us source high-quality applicants for our open role that a free LinkedIn job post absolutely flopped with.

Cons

It’s fairly expensive unless you’re using it very often. Also blocks some candidate info based on +3rd degree connection status, which feels a bit counterintuitive for a recruiting tool.

The AngelList post performed about as poorly as the LinkedIn post.

### "Must be able and willing to invest time to search for passive candidates"

December 15, 2021

3.0

Pros

If you are able to invest the money for and time to use the full Recruiter license, it does enable you to connect with passive candidates that you would otherwise not be likely to reach. The analytics are also good.

Cons

You need to purchase a full Recruiter license in order to contact passive candidates outside of your 3rd degree connections and the high cost of that license may make it prohibitive for many organizations. The Recruiter Lite option only enables contacting candidates who are at least a 3rd degree connection, which the recruiter is unlikely to have in many cases. With either Recruiter option, the recruiter must be able and willing to invest considerable time searching for candidates.

### "Non economico ma efficace"

July 17, 2023

4.0

Pros

Secondo me è il sistema migliore per cercare candidati e potenziali talenti.Ti dà la possibilità, in modo semplice e veloce, di fruire di una piattaforma vasta di possibili risorse interessate alle posizioni da coprire all'interno dell'azienda

Cons

La nota dolente è sicuramente il costo. Molto più alto rispetto a quello dei concorrenti.

### "Una forma simple de filtrar candidatos"

February 19, 2023

5.0

Pros

Hemos usado un periodo de prueba para gestionar la contratación de varias vacantes de nuestras webs. Anteriormente usábamos el sistema de anuncios y era una locura filtrar los candidatos. Ha sido una buena experiencia que nos ha ahorrado tiempo, dinero y recursos y aunque estamos finalizando las contrataciones aún creemos que tenemos una buena selección lo cual hace que valoremos contratar sus servicios para el futuro.

Cons

Inicialmente hasta que aprendimos a manejar la gestión de candidatos nos costó un poc opero ya nos hemos hecho con todas las funcionalidades.

### "Facilitates and is more efficient for candidate management"

February 24, 2023

4.0

Recruitment processes are challenging, but with this LinkedIn feature it becomes something simpler and more effective, as the platform is growing and is a hub that attracts many candidates.

Pros

I like the efficiency to attract candidates for the most diverse vacancies and the filter possibilities. Being a great option for candidate management.

Cons

I don't like the price. For start-up companies it is not very ideal. For anyone who features, it's worth the investment.

### "Linkedin Review"

January 16, 2023

4.0

In a general context, Linkedin is an access bridge to meet professional colleagues, and places that are looking for their profile for the company.

Pros

Linkedin is of great help, both for those looking for a job and for the contractor, and it also helps in expanding the network

Cons

A bit methodical in use, sometimes I have difficulty using the site, inserting documents or updating.

It was great and it boosts my confidence and competence on my work.

Pros

This helps me a lot to source, reach, contact, and filter applicants suitable for the position I am looking for. This helps me reach conenctions beyond my network which makes me an efficient recruiter.

Cons

If I may say, the only cons I can give is that its not free. Though, all the penny are worth it if your start and get the gist of to make use of it!

### "Um app de colocação e recolocação profissional. "

February 6, 2023

3.0

Gostei muito e recomendo.

Pros

Gosto muito desse software, principalmente a oportunidade de interagir com vagas de trabalho em empresas multinacionais com informações atuais e eficazes. vagas de trabalho na qual eu sinalizei anteriormente.

Cons

Nesse caso, a parte que entendo como uma fraqueza, são os retornos sobre as vagas nas quais eu me candidatei. Poderia ter um retorno para o candidato. Fiquei em aberto com relação as vagas que eu me cadastrei.

### "LinkedIn Recruiter Review."

January 21, 2023

5.0

Generally, I noticed increases in my performance throughout the period I had it, and it also made it possible for me to expand my network more quickly than I would have otherwise been able to.

Pros

The finest resource for finding the most qualified candidates is LinkedIn Recruiter. Finding qualified applicants is made easier by its job advertisements.

Cons

Subscriptions are highly expensive. The value, however, significantly transcends the price.

Pros

Being able to contact candidates from all over in any field. I also like the ability to do a Boolean search.

### "I was successfully on finding the candidates I wanted "

January 2, 2022

5.0

I managed to find the candidates I wanted for 2 different positions and they were exactly what I was looking for. Moreover, I got my current job through Linkedin jobs. So its great.

Pros

It was easy to use, easy to implement, they give you guidance and advice, you have a large pool of people you are showing your job add to. For busy people, it is great that they offer a way to triage them from the start and they show only the best candidates directly so you don't lose time going CV by CV.

Cons

What I did not like is paying for each person that saw the job ad. It can get very costly fast.
