LinkedIn Recruiter Reviews & Product Details

LinkedIn Recruiter excels by combining an intuitive UI/UX with powerful AI intelligence that surfaces "open to work" talent before they even apply. Its seamless ATS integrations and high-speed performance ensure a rapid ROI by reducing time-to-hire through targeted InMail reaching. While the pricing is premium, the robust onboarding support helps teams quickly master advanced filters to secure top-tier passive candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LinkedIn Recruiter’s premium pricing can feel steep, especially when ROI is hindered by limited InMail credits and occasional UI clutter. While the AI intelligence is powerful, it sometimes yields redundant results, and the platform's performance can lag when managing large talent pools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It it a very well known platform that allows us to increase employer branding and attract more talent. We can post several Job Slots for visibility.

It is pretty ease to use, and I've integrated it with several other ATS and platforms. I have never had any technical issue, so it performs pretty and I haven't had the chance to use their support and onboarding team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that it's price is a bit high, specially for small remote companies like us that need to gain visibility solely via Linkedin and when It's so expensive we can't have enough budget for other initiatives. I think the AI features it offers are pretty cool but not as developed as other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use LinkedIn Recruiter for sourcing candidates in the US Staffing industry, and it really helps me in finding right fit candidates. I love how it reduces my time to hire and the advanced filters narrow down relevant profiles with precision. Features like location, job title, industrial domain, and experience levels are especially helpful. I also enjoy the InMail feature as it lets me connect with candidates I'm not directly connected to, providing faster and direct engagement. The initial setup is easy, which was a pleasant surprise.

InMail is useful but many candidates, especially in demand ones are flooded with messages so generally the response rate is slow and even well targeted outreach is sometimes missed out. The initial setup is easy for LinkedIn Recruiter. Learning to use it is a bit tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find LinkedIn Recruiter incredibly valuable for its large candidate pool, as almost everybody is on LinkedIn, which makes it unmatched in terms of reach across various verticals. I love the automated InMail follow-ups feature because it allows me to send messages to candidates according to my preferred schedule. Additionally, the AI for keywords and sourcing hacks is really useful, as it streamlines the candidate sourcing process. I haven't seen all these features combined in any other search portal. Setting up LinkedIn Recruiter was also super easy, literally done in seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, it hangs but that's recently. The messaging section does not let you easily attach files. Also, the messaging window is a little small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been able to source talent globally for a wide range of roles, from Sales and Marketing to Finance. It’s the platform I rely on most day to day, and it consistently delivers the best results because it’s widely trusted around the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d really like to see stronger suggestions for talent identification. Also, when it comes to location, could you add an option to focus on a broader region instead of requiring a specific city? For example, rather than selecting only Chicago, it would be helpful to choose the Midwest and then toggle states and/or cities on or off as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use LinkedIn Recruiter for finding, connecting, and hiring candidates efficiently. I like its InMail feature and powerful search filters, which make sourcing candidates easy. The search filters cover criteria like current or past companies, years of experience, skills, location, education, and even allow for Boolean searches for niche roles. InMail is great for reaching candidates who are open to work via InMail and connect requests. The initial setup was easy and fast to learn, as most of it is handled through LinkedIn itself.

Improvement in the area of InMail response rate can be inconsistent, limited contact information, search rate not always accurate. Limited automation for outreach and weak analytics and reporting depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use LinkedIn Recruiter for sourcing, hiring, outreaching, and networking. I find Inmails helpful for reaching out to members outside of my network. The 'open to work' visibility feature on LinkedIn Recruiter is also quite useful. I appreciate the Talent Insights, which provide good data insights and hiring trends in the market. I really like the Talent Pool feature, as well as the active talent pool, different search options, and AI integration, which streamline my recruiting process by allowing me to share a similar profile or job description and automatically create a search string. The sort function is great for filtering active candidates or those based on the last activity. The timeline that shows when someone opted to 'open to work' or their last active status is useful. The interface is particularly easy to use, making it accessible even for new users. I also like that LinkedIn Recruiter is currently irreplaceable for my team.

I don't like the sort function because the latest or active candidates can't be filtered to the top. It would help to have search relevancy based on the last activity, like a timeline showing when 'open to work' was opted and when someone was last seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good UX and use of features. Easy to navigate and understand. It integrates correctly with my other tools from HR.

AI features are good for polishing content. Support team has always been attentive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an expensive tools for small businesses that only want to post 2-5 positions every Q. I've also dealt with a few performance issues a few times where the integrations were broken or didnt pull the correct data, or even unpublished something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how granular I can get with a candidate search on LinkedIn Recruiter, including using filters and boolean search. The recommended matches feature is valuable too. I have full control over factors such as location and education, which is essential in my recruiting process. Setting up LinkedIn Recruiter was super easy, and the customer service from admin was great, making the transition from HireEZ and Fetcher smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the redundancy in recommended matches because it sometimes inflates the search results with duplicates. Also, I feel the message limits to candidates could be higher, as two is sometimes not enough, although I understand the need to avoid overwhelming candidates.

I like having access to candidates in the relevant place where they are searching for jobs. The candidate pool is also something I appreciate. Additionally, the candidate search function is not bad, making it easier to find quality candidates for jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find LinkedIn Recruiter to be one of the worst systems I've used. It has lots of bugs that aren't fixed and they don't seem to care about fixing them. The support is horrendous. They sell the platform to many companies, making the promoted job less valuable since everyone has it. They play with their algorithm but claim nothing changes. Almost every time I log in, there's a new issue. The company doesn't seem to care about providing a good quality service because they know they're sitting on a 'gold mine.'
