When it comes to investing in diversity, 71% of talent professionals
report that achieving gender parity* at their company is a
top priority.1 And while there is a long way to go to get there, a
thoughtful, data-driven recruiting strategy can help you make
meaningful gains toward that goal.
To understand how gender impacts the candidate journey, we
analyzed LinkedIn data on billions of interactions between
companies and candidates from job applications to recruiter
outreach and hires. The results show that while women and men
explore opportunities similarly, there’s a clear gap in how they apply
to jobs — and in how companies recruit them.
The good news is that this data is actionable. This report will help
you improve every step of the job seeker journey on LinkedIn, from
how you position your employer brand and interact with candidates,
to benchmarking your gender diversity hiring goals against your
industry. Your push for #BalanceForBetter can start today.
In this edition of the Quarterly Product Release Webinar, LinkedIn's product experts give you an in-depth look at the New Recruiter & Jobs.

new opportunities?

groups you’ve joined. It’s a good idea

candidate when you send an InMail to
someone who shares a group with you.

7. Common InMail pitfalls
At LinkedIn, we’ve gathered a lot of data and heard plenty of feedback over the years about
what works when crafting InMail messages – which means we’ve also learned a lot about what
doesn’t work.
If you’d like to create the best candidate experience (and get a higher response rate), remember
that your first InMail to a candidate is really about establishing rapport and starting a conversation.
Here are some don’ts to keep in mind when crafting your next InMail:
Don’t ask for a resume in your first message. Focusing on your needs, instead of
those of the candidate, is a quick way to turn off prospective talent. Acknowledge their
accomplishments, learn more about their interests and career goals, and determine if they are
Don’t ask the candidate for the names of other people they know who may be interested
in the job in your first message. This is a common mistake that recruiters make and

8. Common InMail pitfalls
(Continued)
Don’t pitch a position that’s at a lower level than the candidate’s current position. Our
data indicates that nearly 70% of members who started a new role in the past 12 months were
either promoted or took a lateral move.
Don’t offer a temporary contract opportunity when the candidate is already employed
full-time. When contacting prospective talent, understanding their career trajectory is key
in establishing productive initial contact. If candidates have been in permanent roles and
growing in their career, they probably won’t be receptive to the idea of switching to a three-
month temporary position. Starting a conversation with this approach instantly diminishes your
credibility and negatively impacts not only your employer brand, but also your personal brand
as a recruiter.
Don’t reach out to people whose background and experience aren’t aligned with the role.

9. When to send your InMail
On average, LinkedIn Recruiter users send nearly a million InMail messages to LinkedIn members
each week. That makes it all the more important that your message stands out from the crowd.
Timing matters. First, don’t send that InMail over the weekend! InMail messages sent on
Saturdays are 16% less likely to get a response compared to those sent earlier in the work week.
There’s also a better time of day – between 9 AM and 10 AM local time for the recipient, on a
Thursday. You’re about 12% more likely to get a response at that time of day than on a Friday
afternoon, when everyone’s thinking about the weekend.

10. Finishing touches for
subject lines
When you’re getting ready to send an InMail, take special care with your subject line. Aim to grab
someone’s attention, while still keeping your tone professional. Ask yourself: Is the subject line
short and engaging? If not, edit it until it’s snappy and easy to read.
Keep in mind that as more and more messages are read on mobile devices, the subject line has
to work even harder to get someone to open and read your InMail.
A few ideas for attention-grabbing subject lines:
Say something positive about the candidate’s background.
Mention something you have in common with a candidate or something you noticed on their
or industry they work in. For example, if you’re recruiting a candidate who works for a video game
company, you could try a subject line that reads, “What’s your favorite video game?”

approach with

Now that you’ve got the basics of how and when to
reach out with InMails, it’s time to take a look at your

the results you want.

that show up at the bottom of each InMail message:
Reply to message and Not interested.

messages sent to your connections and to OpenLink

to candidates’ email addresses.
Accepted InMails = number of InMail messages that
candidates replied to by clicking Reply to message

candidates replied to by clicking Not Interested,
