Sony Electronics faced challenges attracting top talent due to negative perceptions after moving jobs overseas. Its recruitment was ineffective. The company's talent acquisition manager, Peter Moore, used LinkedIn to transform Sony's employment brand and revitalize recruiting. He trained recruiters on LinkedIn tools and changed their messaging to focus on opportunities rather than just job descriptions. Sony's LinkedIn career page features recruiters and 25% of hires came from LinkedIn in just 5 months. Recruiters became strategic partners using LinkedIn instead of just order takers.
With over 24 million members in India and over 300 million members worldwide, LinkedIn presents a wealth of opportunities to Talent Acquisition leaders and professionals looking to hire top talent for their organizations. This presentation covers how LinkedIn Talent Solutions can help you and your organization source the right talent and build your employer brand.
