LinkedIn Recruiter is a powerful tool that allows users to access a global talent market and search for professionals with specific skills. According to users, the software is particularly useful for identifying qualified candidates for open positions and sourcing passive candidates who are more likely to be qualified and satisfied with the job. With LinkedIn Recruiter, users can effectively search for candidates based on specific requirements such as location, experience, education, job title, and skills. The software enables users to track candidate pipelines, perform outreach activities, and sync with their company's recruiting database to keep track of candidates.
In addition to its use in the recruitment process, LinkedIn Recruiter is also widely used by sales teams for prospecting and business development purposes. Users appreciate the ease of use and intuitive interface of the software, along with its powerful search features that allow for fine-tuning candidate searches within a week. One of the standout features of LinkedIn Recruiter is InMail, which has a higher response rate compared to other outreach methods. This makes it a primary form of outreach and sourcing for many users.
Overall, LinkedIn Recruiter is considered a vital asset for identifying skilled professionals across various industries and positions. It helps address the challenge of finding qualified candidates, especially for hard-to-fill roles or when there is a lack of qualified inbound applicants.

(1-20 of 20)Global Tool for the recruiters
- Job positing
- Direct messaging
- Premium views
- Need to increase inmail numbers
- Identifies which candidates are actively open to a conversation with an executive search firm
- Helps to target our search to qualified candidates based on the detail in the profiles
- Allows us to send a targeted email to 25 recipients at a time.
- LinkedIn does not show us when an email has been opened, so we have no idea if the messages are going to a spam folder, getting blocked by a firewall or are just being ignored.
- LinkedIn does not provide us contact information (phone number/email) unless we are a 1st level connection and the candidate allows us to see that information.
- LinkedIn support is slow to respond to issues.
- LinkedIn limits the number of Inmails to 400 unless you are willing to purchase more.
A must have recruitment tool.
- Detailed candidate searching
- Automated sourcing
- Project organization
- Groups are a little difficult to manage in my opinion.
LinkedIn and I
- It allows me to look for relevant industries
- It groups similar titles together on certain job titles
- It lets you set a minimum and maximum for years of experience
- It connects with my company's database
- When I send connection requests and notes, I can't see the outgoing message I sent before they accept.
- There aren't diversity filters
- The industries are not all-inclusive
- Access to a global talent marketplace.
- Targeted searching.
- Ability to share candidates with hiring teams.
- Better "diversity" filters.
- More granular industry categories - product/consulting/services, etc.
- More contact info - or the ability to search for it in the LIR interface.
LinkedIn Recruiter: Vital to Staffing Services
- LinkedIn Projects
- Years of experience
- Colleges
- Diversity tags
- Finding more profiles like "X" person
Linkedin Recruiter is a Strong Platform
- LinkedIn Recruiter allows me to easily find candidates and add them to a project
- LinkedIn Recruiter allows me to easily message candidates
- LinkedIn Recruiter allows me to create message templates so I can reach the maximum amount of candidates
- For some reason, whenever I click "View in Recruiter" it takes me to the project summary screen instead of that candidate's profile in Recruiter
- It would be nice if candidates got automatically moved to the appropriate stage when an action is taken (ie "Contacted" after sending them a message)
Sourcing and recruiting made easier
- Source according to values entered.
- Provide a wide variety of candidates
- Allows to document interactions and classify contacts according to their response or lack of.
- Wider categories are missing in Candidates pipeline
- Price is expensive when you are only paying for one person access.
- Charging customers before their trial ends, it's something that happened to me
Link with LinkedIn
- Pipeline management
- Outreach options
- Boolean filters
- Inactive profile tracking
The most powerful recruitment tool available
- Prospecting/business development.
- Advertising roles.
- Searching/sourcing candidates.
- Creating projects and saved searches We put a license on every recruiter/researcher's desk.
- Shared organisational record of activity.
- Deep search and search management capability.
- Strong process management from advertising through to back-end search.
- Extensive In-Mail capacity for the team.
- The search function seems to lack the comprehensive nature of a Google X-ray search.
- If the system could prompt you about similar searches/projects previously run by colleagues it would be a great addition.
- I would like to be able to create message templates in my message inbox - not just from a search project - this would save a lot of time.
-Great at managing comprehensive search campaigns.
- Highly effective tool providing a high number of InMails to make business development more effective.
Not Good
-Making 121 communication with individuals more convenient (need message templates from inbox).
LinkedIn Recruiter is the way to go
- The scheduler is my most favorite part of Recruiter. Super easy and organized to use.
- It also can integrate with my applicant tracking system when and if I hire from LinkedIn Recruiter.
- The fact that you can see an applicants full profile gives more information than just a resume when selecting candidates to interview.
- The mobile app is significantly different than the desktop version. I would like to see more consistency.
- There are a lot of updates that can cause confusion.
Recruitment made easier
- Quick results and tailored communications.
- Ability to tailor most-active (likely to respond) candidates.
- Best-to-time to post feature based on preferred candidates usage of LinkedIn.
LinkedIn Recruiter - Is it worth the purchase?
- Helps in identifying the candidates looking for a job.
- Able to filter out the right applicants using the filters.
- Ability to contact up to 25 candidates using the InMail feature at a time.
- No visibility of the user contact information.
- No free trial to get the feel of the usage and compare with other services.
- Support in case of need is not that good and needs lots of improvement.
- Not worth the amount being spent for the service.
LinkedIn - Connecting you to the right people
- LinkedIn has always had a project function, but recently has expanded its functionality to make it more user friendly and comprehensive.
- Top research tool where you can identify companies, employees and people by function or job title.
- LinkedIn makes it easy to build search lists by location and industry.
- Strong profile platform that can be used as a type of resume where an individual can share as much or as little information as appropriate.
- We have enjoyed its add on functionality with a direct link from our applicant tracking system directly to a particular candidate profile. The issue I have seen is that half of the time it doesn't find the correct profile. It is there but requires digging to find it.
- It is expensive to have Recruiter for individual operators or small companies.
Necessary tool for a growing team!
- Helping connect you with potential candidates.
- Linking directly to LinkedIn's vast profile of folks.
- There is a decent communication platform.
- It would be great if there was a way to express your self better than strictly text communication to show your interest in a candidate.
- It can feel like you are spamming a potential candidate.
LinkedIn Recruiter is key to finding exactly the right match
- Organize people for different projects.
- Message them and keep track of who I have contacted, who I am rejecting, and how I want to continue with.
- The search capabilities are excellent.
- Some of the search capabilities are not as good as Sales Navigator, I wish they were better.
- I still have not gotten fully trusting for recommended matches, but I appreciate they are working to improve the tool.
Terrific Product for Many Firms!
- Searching capability.
- Ease of use.
- Ability to adjust search and narrow.
- Can be exclusionary.
- No real ability to search truly diverse candidates.
- Not sufficient training on the tool.
Great tool with room for improvement
- Search functionality.
- Open to work sorting features.
- Expansive network of applicants.
- UI / UX could be improved.
- Allow for multiple recruiters to share a seat (e.g. 1 company seat).
- Filtering.
- Organizing lists.
- Ability to reach out to potential candidates/prospects.
- If it could somehow incorporate contact information that would be appreciated.
- Deeper integration with our CRM would be appreciated.
- Deeper integration with our ATS would be appreciated.
LinkedIn Recruiter is well worth the cost
- Allows us to have a very detailed search
- Makes it easy to set up search alerts
- The InMail templates make it very easy to quickly contact candidates
- They need to add a search function that allows you to search by time zone due to all of the remote positions available now
- They could include the option for candidates to list their work authorization (Citizen, Green Card, H1b, etc.)
- Allow for more integration with ATS platforms
