LinkedIn Talent Advantage and New Custom Company Profiles Help
Companies Respond to Market Conditions and Hire Top Talent Faster
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LinkedIn,
the world’s largest professional network with more than 35 million
members, today announced LinkedIn
Talent Advantage, an exclusive suite of solutions for recruiters.
The newest feature of Talent Advantage is a “viewer-aware” hiring
technology called LinkedIn Custom Company Profiles, designed to help
companies present information that is relevant based on a job-seeker’s
function, industry, location, etc.
LinkedIn saw responses to job postings on the professional network
double over the last six months, resulting in more resumes for
recruiters to sift through and more candidates to qualify. Yet, the best
employee for the job may not be actively looking. LinkedIn Talent
Advantage helps HR teams efficiently find the best talent to fill open
positions, a growing challenge given HR resource constraints and the
cost of making a bad hire.
“LinkedIn Talent Advantage lets recruiters unlock the power of
LinkedIn’s extensive professional network so they can uncover quality
passive candidates who are unlikely to be on traditional job boards,”
said Francois Dufour, LinkedIn’s Senior Director of Enterprise
Marketing. “Over 900 leading companies already depend on LinkedIn’s
recruiting solutions. The hiring market has changed, and the new
LinkedIn Talent Advantage is a game-changer for the human resources
community.”
LinkedIn Talent Advantage now includes:
-
LinkedIn® Recruiter™: an exclusive tool for corporate recruiters to
source top passive talent, with extended search, full profile viewing,
direct messaging and team collaboration tools
-
LinkedIn® Jobs Network™: job postings on LinkedIn that deliver precise
targeting, candidate match recommendations and viral distribution of
job postings throughout the network
-
LinkedIn® Talent Direct™: InMail campaigns to reach more potential
candidates faster and more precisely
-
LinkedIn® Employer Advertising™: advertising on LinkedIn’s uncluttered
environment that can be targeted to specific groups of professionals
-
NEW LinkedIn® Custom Company Profiles™: rich and extensible
company profile with viewer-aware information that can adapt to the
viewer’s location, industry, function, etc. to build an employment
brand
Company Profiles have been available on
LinkedIn since early 2008. Now LinkedIn Custom Company Profiles
allow companies and recruiters to develop their employer brand and
uniquely inform and engage high value candidates with content
specifically designed for particular profiles.
For example, viewers of a LinkedIn Custom Company Profile have the
opportunity to discover:
-
Recruitment messaging that helps HR teams appeal to candidates on a
personal level
-
Employee spotlights that introduce ”birds of a feather” peers
-
Interactive polling that engages viewers on the page
-
Video clips that showcase corporate culture
-
Recruiter Profiles and Career Page links that make it easy for
interested candidates to take action
-
Jobs with “company insider” information that show how a job seeker is
connected with the company and the job poster
In addition to adding LinkedIn Custom Company Profiles to the LinkedIn
Talent Advantage suite of solutions, LinkedIn has also improved LinkedIn
Recruiter and LinkedIn Jobs Network, which now includes LinkedIn Talent
Match, a proprietary technology that automatically recommends talent
matches for job postings. It also includes “Super Viral” forwarding that
makes it easier (just two clicks) to forward jobs to people who would be
interested or would know a good fit for the open position.
