We used LinkedIn Jobs in our office for sourcing the right candidates, positing the job, and job application so it's very helpful to improve our carrier and our office growth also. It's very helpful for time management and to get a perfect job offer from tier 1 companies so it's scope for employees.

If anyone looking for a job the LinkedIn Jobs are good platform to find the companies.
If anyone mentioned opentowork we can communicate them for our work
We can post the our job requirements.
Cons
The first thing LinkedIn Jobs are used for unemplyees or job looking candidates.
If we request to someone for a job requirements, if they accept only we can communicate them or else we couldn't not reach them.
Mostly the LinkedIn Jobs are good platform
Likelihood to Recommend
Definately I would prefer and recommend to my colleagues and my friends because they should know the LinkedIn Jobs are very important for jobs and carrier growth. That is good platform to sourcing the quality candidate, resume, to apply for job application, and posting the requirements...there is too much of good thing in LinkedIn Jobs so I should recommend to colleagues.
I use LinkedIn Jobs to recruit for my hard to fill positions. The positions I utilize this for are positions with a very specific skillset and qualifications. This particular engine doesn't generate a lot of candidates, but the right candidates. I don't have to worry as much to receive an influx of unqualified candidates.
Pros
Sorting out qualified candidates
targets appropriate audience
asks the right questions when posting job
Cons
Allow more applicants for the free posting
Allow a better way to promote the job
highlight the position on a higher level

I used LinkedIn Jobs recently for a director position. I sent the instructions to another Director to also post on her LinkedIn. While this is not where we found our candidate, it was a great tactic to bring attention to the posted position. The form used allowed us to detail the position to its full extent.
Our organization utilizes LinkedIn jobs for the purpose of recruiting for specialty and professional positions. It allows us to connect with candidates of all levels of experience and possibly organizations we can pair with for ongoing recruitment efforts. Typically, we use LinkedIn Jobs as a secondary sourcing outlet, but it has been useful for filling specialty positions and advertising hard-to-fill jobs and events.
Pros
Connecting with candidates.
Means of tracking communication.
Ease of connections and relevant matches.
Cons
Diversity and inclusion
Removing candidate personal information, only provides the essentials for job qualifications.
Ability to create events to invite candidates from LinkedIn.
Likelihood to Recommend
LinkedIn Jobs is well suited for easy access to candidates, getting news/posts of events out quickly, and tracking candidate communication. I feel LinkedIn Jobs is less appropriate for diverse and inclusive recruitment due to the amount of personal information that is shared with anyone seeking candidates. Instead of solely matching with qualifications, anyone is able to view the full profile.

LinkedIn has several functions within its tool, but Jobs is certainly one of the most complete and efficient. Its structure is well detailed, organized, and easy to use, having a beautiful and functional design. It becomes very useful in our company because it makes it easier for both the candidate and the company to choose, it filters in a simple and organized way the best profiles for the ideal vacancies and also has a good selection process within the system.
Pros
Profile organization
Segmentation
Well-defined processes
Cons
Technical language
Exaggerated features
Incomplete profiles
Likelihood to Recommend
Companies that look for specific profiles and aim at agility in the hiring process. Aiming that this function facilitates the hiring for both the company and the candidate, it is necessary to be responsible for the advertiser and for whoever wants the vacancy. Companies that have not established well-defined processes may have difficulty and not use the system's maximum potential.
I was hired using LinkedIn Jobs and there are a lot of opportunities for you to search. Sometimes, when I want to inquire, I [could] connect easily to a recruiter or manager for me to follow up. There [are] a lot of challenges in looking for a fit position that qualifies your eligibility, but LinkedIn Jobs helped me revise my profile for potential employers [to] check and review my qualifications based on my applications submitted to them.
Pros
Accurate jobs selection
Registered employers
Easy to apply
Create your own CV online
Less hassle for job search
Cons
More evaluations of scam job offers
Lack of application feedbacks

I am seeking overseas employment as J1 and I found a hotel resort via Linkedln. Until now, we’re still connecting and communicating with the recruiter for me to process my documents, visa, and anything for them to deploy me abroad. LinkedIn Jobs helped me identify the right employer for me to start my career growth and maximize my resume profile into a well attractive one.
I don't have any problem with LinkedIn jobs. It is useful to find new jobs and new employees. I like the fact of the filter method of LinkedIn jobs. It is easy to find anyone from particular places. Overall it is really a good product for HR management and companies.
Pros
- LinkedIn allows us to have an online personal brand that makes us visible worldwide.
Cons
- The big disadvantage of LinkedIn is lack of content, and LinkedIn groups are not really useful
Likelihood to Recommend
+ Hiring Managers - 95% of
recruiters use LinkedIn to recruit candidates. + Great job – You can find jobs as your need and fulfill your
dreams. + Easy to use and good UX. - People can’t identify real or fake jobs. - Unverified
Linked profiles are also a disadvantage for us and we can't
actually call anyone.
I use LinkedIn Jobs to post ads. Although I am a “sourcer” and proactively seek out job candidates, this often leads me to passive candidates who aren’t open to new opportunities. Posting an ad on LinkedIn Jobs can be more efficient and increase time from first contact to a hire because anyone who applies is seeking a position.
Pros
Customizable screening questions - they somewhat recently improved this!! Custom questions used to not be an option but now that it is, it’s definitely a step up.
Helps automate the process - can send auto-rejection email if I choose. I like to notify candidates that I did receive their application and am not just ignoring it.
Tends to offer high-quality candidates. If not a fit for the job they applied for, sometimes we have a different position for them.
Cons
When adding skills under the job description, they are limited. Sometimes a skill that seems basic to me is not an option and you may only enter skills which appear on their drop down list.
Limited screening questions with awkward wording… but they fixed this! Custom questions are now an option
I’m not so sure that the advertising selects accurate candidates. LinkedIn tries to target your audience based on the “skills” section but what a candidates lists as their skills may not be the best picture of them.

LinkedIn Jobs is well-suited for some job positions over others. At our company, we do both temp-to-perm and direct hires. I’ve had luck with direct hires for positions such as sales reps, RNs, landscape architects. My colleagues working temp to perm have had less luck with their jobs such as MAs and front desk.
LinkedIn Jobs is like the "Who's who" of job searches. My experience with it from a user searching for a job opportunity has been a great experience because the platform allows me to not only understand what the role of a job opportunity is (this is common on most platforms) but Jobs, it feels like you already put your best foot forward because it's not just a resume the recruiter is looking at but rather your professional social media profile. Yes, you can apply for a position and not hear back, but having the InMail options access to others within the company through the connections is a great tool to help get your resume in front of the right people.
Pros
Full transparency to the hiring team
Algorithm suggests which positions your skillset is a good match with
location based and job profile recommendations
In-Mail options for users who are active on LinkedIn with a premium membership
Cons
Like any other job site, feedback from recruiter can lack
I actually noticed some fake job postings, which can be a scam and steal personal info
I don't understand what the benefit is of showing how many people have applied for a position- it may be a better idea to just indicate that a specific job opportunity is very active but no need to count the # of resumes submitted
Likelihood to Recommend
I can't think of any reason why anybody looking for a job opportunity would not be involved with LinkedIn Jobs. It's one of the more active social media job sites and if you are active on LinkedIn (which you should be) you have a great opportunity to show your achievements and talent to job posters. The "Easy Apply" link, although great for companies hiring large groups of people may not be for somebody who is looking for a specialized role as that would take a more personal approach.
I use LinkedIn Jobs in three ways. The first is to find new employees/team members. The second is to find jobs in the field and reach out to those companies for advertisement slots on a podcast. The third is to find new jobs for myself. LinkedIn Jobs is my favorite app for all three methods of job search. It streamlines the process with integration with LinkedIn which makes it stand out compared to competitors.
Pros
Integration with LinkedIn profiles
Keywords for SEO
Easy apply button
Cons
Would be ideal to have an option for remote as the location of the position, or have it be a secondary location to the physical address of the company.
Some of the key terms are a bit generic, would be great to see main key terms and then secondary as many jobs fall under two different specialties/fields.
Repetition of the same jobs being sent out over the email digest.

Best platform/app out there for job searches. Not only on the side of the job seeker but also the hiring staff. It is fantastic that both sides can view the company's page and the job seeker's page to have a quick glimpse and treat this as a live resume. Also fantastic to see who works at the company and if there are any mutual connections there.
As the owner and founder of the real estate company that I am currently in, I have been the one who made the decision to buy and implement LinkedIn Jobs in our work areas. The reason why I chose LinkedIn Jobs as my main candidate search software is because it offered me a very good expectation since it works hand in hand with the LinkedIn social network, and this helps make the search for candidates even faster and many more requests can be obtained. The LinkedIn Jobs implementation process was something quite simple. It was only necessary to hire one of the recruitment plans that LinkedIn offered us, in order to implement it in each of the areas of our company, it is important to highlight that I have implemented this system in all the areas of my company.
The main benefit that LinkedIn Jobs has brought me is the quick turnaround of candidate applications. Previously, I had a lot of inconveniences to receive new candidate applications. Since the process was manual, I spent much more money on advertising to be able to obtain new candidates for my company, however, after the arrival of LinkedIn Jobs, everything changed for the positive. This service has provided me with a large number of applications from candidates from different places with diverse skills and many varied knowledge, in addition, it allows me to communicate with each candidate in order to schedule a future interview or to ask them about something specific. I am very happy with having LinkedIn Jobs in my company, we no longer have to spend hours and hours trying to find new candidates for the jobs that are open in our company, just post the job offer on LinkedIn Jobs and wait requests come in.
Pros
Excellent notification system. LinkedIn Jobs notifications are sent to my inbox and also to my mobile device, which makes it even easier to know the exact moment when we receive a new application from a candidate for an open position at our company.
The accessibility of each candidate's CV, using LinkedIn Jobs, is amazing. Thanks to the fact that it works within the social network, I can have direct access to the profile of each of the candidates, to be able to know each of their aptitudes, know their old work experiences and know what type of education they have had and what type of positive things can offer for the performance in my company.
One of the things that stands out a lot about LinkedIn Jobs is the interview scheduling calendar system. This service provides me with a calendar where I can organize the interviews that I have scheduled with one of the candidates, in order to keep track of the hiring.
The LinkedIn Jobs plans prices are very accessible, I have noticed the great savings I have had by buying one of the LinkedIn Jobs plans, previously I spent much more money advertising to obtain new candidates.
The UI is very easy to handle. LinkedIn Jobs allows me to organize all applications using Filters, which helps make it easier for me to read each candidate application.
Cons
When I open a new job offer for my company, and I post on LinkedIn Jobs, it asks me for a location for the job offer, however, the candidates I receive are from parts further away from the location that I have placed in the offer of employment. I would like LinkedIn Jobs to enable an option to only receive applications from candidates who are close to the job offer, it does not make sense to receive applications from people who are very far from the job zone.
For now, I don't have any other LinkedIn Jobs complaints. I am currently satisfied with the results that I have been obtaining in my company thanks to this excellent job posting service, due to the fact that I have obtained a large volume of candidates.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would definitely recommend LinkedIn Jobs to a co-worker or a company, due to its effectiveness in obtaining new candidates for a job offer. LinkedIn Jobs is one of the best options to consider when it comes to searching for a job offer service, because it works within a social network and has the ability to advertise the job offer and thus achieve that the offer receives large numbers of candidates in a very short time. Posting a job offer on this service is too easy, you just have to write the job search position, the location, the contact methods, the places available for an interview and ready, the ad will be ready to be published. The implementation of LinkedIn Jobs is quite simple, as soon as you buy one of the offered plans, you get full access to the publication and hiring of new employees for the company.
I don't recommend LinkedIn Jobs for small businesses, as the costs of the plans can be a bit high for those small businesses. I recommend this service to medium and large companies that can afford the costs of hiring and job offers. This is an effective software for posting job vacancies.
