Editor's Notes

  • #7 [Note: Important to get the client’s agreement up front that passive candidate recruiting is a key to success]Because LinkedIn is a professional network, it’s home to both passive and active job seekers Getting passive candidate sourcing right is critical to achieving your recruiting goalsMany of today’s best candidates are not looking for a jobHowever Recruiting passive candidates requires a very different approach from recruiting active candidates.While active candidates frequent job boards and seek out many opportunities, passive candidates spend their time networking. They’ll listen to opportunities, but only if it’s the right opportunity for them.LinkedIn is the only platform that can help you recruit both passive and active candidates[NOTE: We should not overlook active candidates as a legitimate source of hire. Instead, focus on how LinkedIn helps you access BOTH these candidates and the tens of millions of passive candidates that can’t be reached anywhere else]
  • #10 [Note: Use this slide to explain the “Merlin” methodology for calculating impact jobs have on customers’ hires:]LinkedIn can measure exactly how our jobs influence hires. For example:When a member like Erica changes her profile from ACME Systems to your company, we recognize that you’ve made a hireIf Erica viewed one of your company’s jobs prior to joining your company, we recognize that LinkedIn’s jobs influenced that hireFrom this, we can calculate exactly how many hires LinkedIn influenced.This is an extremely powerful way of measuring influence. Many passive candidates don’t apply to jobs as soon as they see them. They may network their way to a job, or return to the careers website after an opportunity first sparks their interest. These candidates are lost in most source of hire reports, but they’re often first influenced by LinkedIn.[Note: Influenced hires viewed a job less than a year before joining the company. Excludes the month immediately before a member joined.]
  • #11 Implementing this core strategy will help you solve the challenges we discussed earlier.There are three key things companies do to dramatically increase their hiring effectiveness on LinkedIn.The first is proactive sourcing—using LinkedIn to find and engage the very best passive talent. Recruiter is the best sourcing tool out there, and recruiting teams are using Talent Pipeline features to become more proactive in managing pipelines of talent. Since organizations typically don’t have the bandwidth to source every hire proactively, it’s critical to be able to engage talent automatically to scale your recruiting efforts. The second element of the solution is personalized job targeting. Since we know that your target talent is on LinkedIn, we first need to ensure that all your professional roles are on the LinkedIn network. LinkedIn’s matching algorithm will serve up the right job to the right candidate, to ensure that only qualified candidates will be exposed to your open opportunities.The third element is developing a talent brand on LinkedIn. Companies are tapping into their employees’ networks and leveraging company pages to promote their brand and attract talent.These aren’t three independent pillars, but rather three elements of a single solution that reinforce one another.When companies post all professional jobs on LinkedIn, these jobs make their employer branding content more relevant for each candidate. Likewise, communicating a rich talent brand and leveraging employee profiles to connect with candidates creates a more compelling reason for candidates to apply to your job postings. Finally, when candidates understand what opportunities are available and have encountered your employer brand, they’re much more likely to respond to outreach from your recruiters, which makes your team’s proactive sourcing efforts more effective.By adopting this holistic strategy, organizations hire more of the right candidates for their roles.
