Use Cases and Deployment Scope

LinkedIn Talent hub allows me to search for candidates with a specific skill set. By using the functions provided, I am able to search for keywords, and find candidates who may not be on other search engines, such as Indeed, or actively looking for another position. I am able to "cold call" people and at least put my companies' names in their mind.

Pros

  • Search Engine
  • Job Specific Details
  • Large Candidate Possibilities

Cons

  • More Entry Level Candidates
  • Further Reach

Return on Investment

  • The Candidate pool is hit or miss - Sometimes I can't find the person I am looking for.
  • You have to advertise multiple times to keep your job relevant.
