LinkedIn Recruiter Reviews & Product Details

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with a few performance issues a few times where the integrations were broken or didnt pull the correct data, or even unpublished something.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.'

I love how LinkedIn Recruiter is always up to date, as having candidate info that is current is very important to me. It's easy to use, which is necessary for finding candidates easily. Also, I find people on the platform to be responsive. The initial setup was very easy, thanks to the support from my IT team. I think LinkedIn Recruiter is the best proactive sourcing tool out there, so much so that I'd rate it a 10 on recommending it to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think their cost is really high and sometimes search filters aren't as precise as I'd like them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the system will tell you how many points the candidates match with and allows you to categorize them to steps in the process as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that it's hard to tell old applicants from new ones, it doesn't order them in any way that makes sense, and it's not the easiest for collaboration in the hiring space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to use, and most candidates are on here. The new AI features make the overall experience even smoother and simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not having access to all candidates right away and having to wait for inmail approval Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find LinkedIn Recruiter really easy to use, and it's great that it makes collaboration simple when working in a group with shared access. I appreciate how it lowers the barrier to entry for passive candidates, allowing me to reach out softly without feeling like a scammer. The setup process is very easy, and I've done it at many different companies, usually within a day. I always recommend LinkedIn Recruiter because it helps me find really great talent, especially when mastering its nuances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oh my gosh. Sometimes the filter to filter out people you've already seen or, you know, the filter on industries, they could be better. They could be way better. I do find that it's not as intuitive as it could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LinkedIn Recruiter is most helpful for its advanced search and filtering capabilities, which allow me to quickly find highly relevant candidates based on specific skills, experience, and location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of LinkedIn Recruiter is the high cost, especially for smaller teams or agencies. The InMail response rate can also be inconsistent, making it challenging to engage passive candidates effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like LinkedIn Recruiter for its instant access to global experts and candidates, making it easy to go ahead and send a request or share project details. I also appreciate the email and instant messaging features, which provide easy access and allow for instant replies. The initial setup for LinkedIn Recruiter was absolutely easy.
