Linkedin Recruiter

Did you see the new Linkedin Recruiter.. I've been using Linkedin for a couple of years but the Corporate solutions for recruiters blew me off. The redesigned Linkedin has a lot of potential and a lot to offer.

20 million + users and growing; Linkedin has upgraded their candidate search feature. Recruiters with Linkedin Recruiter can view up to 1,000 search results instead of the 500 available in other accounts.

Logging in takes you to the dashboard which is different from the Linkedin Outlook toolbar dashboard which most of us have. On the left side it shows my ongoing projects,my job postings, searches and search history letting me pull up any old searches I have done. In the middle of my screen is the Usage Information and status of Inmails and Alerts.

Many of the features reminds me of zoominfo where you can create and save projects. You can share these projects (the profiles you saved or sourced) with your other recruiting team members.

The feature I like best is the search alerts. You can now save the searches you are performing on Linkedin and be alerted when a new match is found as long as you keep the search alert ON.

Other features include adding the profile to a clipboard and saving profiles to the projects and batching the Inmails together instead of writing one by one.

Great work- Linkedin developers.
