Account managers provide excellent guidance!

Pros

Working with the account managers has been awesome. They know their stuff and helped me find exactly the right candidates. My team was searching for Executive Chefs and General Managers which isn't easy but it helped me narrow down people by past jobs, restaurants and even cuisine. Learning it was quick and I still find it simple to keep up with.

Cons

The recruiter seats are the most expensive feature and since everyone on the team needs one to collaborate, it wasn't really in our budget for all users.

Powerful tool for recruiting

Pros

Using this tool really changed how I hire. The features it gives, plus support during setup, made a big difference. I can do high-level recruiting and find tons of qualified candidates using filters I haven't seen in other platforms.

Cons

I think the tool could improve how it handles 'cold' outreach. Many candidates with the 'Open to Work' status are actually inactive profiles, so responses can be limited. Messaging also depends on your LinkedIn payment plan which can be restrictive.

Connects with global professional network

Pros

This tool is the most popular professional network worldwide and through it I've been able to connect with people and explore new job opportunities, both offering and receiving them.

Cons

Integrations with niche or customized systems have required extra setup and technical support for me. Depending on how complex existing systems are, getting everything configured initially can take a while.
