What do you like best about LinkedIn Recruiter?

It is the best platform with the most advanced options to source a candidate within a short-time. I like best about the linkedIn is the InMail messaging system of the platform enables direct communication with potential hires, including those passive candidates who are not actively looking for jobs. Also, LinkedIn Recruiter supports team collaboration and offers insights into talent pools to enhance recruitment efficiency and decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LinkedIn Recruiter?

While LinkedIn Recruiter has many useful features, there are some areas of improvement for some users. It also limits the outreach potential due to the low number of InMail messages sent monthly. Another area is responsiveness and effectiveness of customer support, which needs improvement. All these issues could improve the user experience if resolved.

What do you like best about LinkedIn Recruiter?

LOVE the powerful search functionality and the ability to filter candidates with incredible precision. It allows me to find highly relevant candidates quickly by targeting specific skills, experiences, and locations. The InMail feature is also a huge plus, enabling me to reach out directly to potential candidates even if they aren't actively looking for a job. The integration with other tools like Applicant Tracking Systems makes the recruitment process more seamless and efficient, streamlining communication and tracking all in one place.

What do you dislike about LinkedIn Recruiter?

The cost—it can be a bit pricey, especially for smaller teams or organizations. When I first joined my company, we only had 2 licenses and it created a challenge for me to create my own boolean, or sourcing personal emails instead of having inmail access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
