Everything! Wonderful tool for recruiting. I'd argue an essential tool! Great availability of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only con of LinkedIn Sales Navigator is the lack of availability of phone numbers. You are stuck calling companies, sending LinkedIn messages or using another tool like ZoomInfo for direct dials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arrive at inactive competitors, see up-and-comer supports, valuable for significant level arrangements, self-refreshing ability pools.
We totally love utilizing LinkedIn Recruiter consistently! This apparatus helps our selection representatives connect with the best possibility for the positions we have. The most amazing aspect of utilizing LI Recruiter is having the option to channel precisely the thing you are searching for; regardless of whether it's anything but a particular work or explicit ability, you can discover what you are searching for. The Project angle in LI Recruiter is additionally an incredible assistance! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't select more than the number of profiles showing on the page I'm on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An unlimited number of searches is my favorite thing about LinkedIn Recruiter. If you are not using LinkedIn Recruiter then you will run out of searches in the regular search bar very quickly if you connect/search in high volume.
The InMails and ability to directly reach out to candidates is the next best thing. LinkedIn will send the InMail message to the person you are reaching out to via their registered email, so it is much more likely to have your message read/noticed since it is delivered to them in two ways.

It doesn't give you unlimited access to candidates. You only have access to 2nd and 3rd degree connections; basically, you have access to your "connections connections". You do not have access to the entire LinkedIn members.
Depending on the type of recruitment you do this could be a major issue. I used LinkedIn Recruiter at a company where the bulk of my recruiting efforts were concentrated in one area and I had a large network so it worked well and gave me access to a sufficient number of people.
However, in my current role, my recruiting efforts are nationwide and it does not give me access to the right type of people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Utilizing the advanced filters for a search seems to be the true value with this product. I haven't really had luck with 'Ideal Candidate' but I do use 'Saved Searches' and turn on notifications, which has been pretty great so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish it was a little more intuitive and find it strange that if I am searching for someone (by name) that I am connected to in my actual LI network, it doesn't show them at the top of a search, or sometimes show them at all. Also, I feel that it should be smarter and geo rank candidates that live closer to you and place them at the top of a search, rather than tons of candidates in other countries and then having to add a location filter to see who you would even want to see.

Very useful and insightful tool to help with all your recruiting needs. Divinity helps to weed through to find exactly what you are looking for and not what you do not need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It could be a little more user intuitive in terms of getting it set up but it functions very well once you know how to use it and get used to how it functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It allows me to connect with professionals from around the world, search for highly skilled professionals and message them for new positions. You can automate most of the process and also tailor your searches and messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be quite oversaturated as every recruiter in the world is on that site, so the response rates are lower then 10 years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New features like open to work visibility, similar profiles email credits Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Should have an option to see contact details from all searches Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
