#Ad 🔍 Searching for Top Talent Just Got Easier! 🔍 LinkedIn Recruiter just got a major upgrade with AI-Assisted Search and Projects, and I think it's a game-changer for sourcers and recruiters looking to save time and find the best talent efficiently. Imagine this: You need a superstar Marketing Manager in Austin with a proven track record in sales enablement... In the past, you might have spent hours crafting complex Boolean search strings and manually tweaking filters to create a target pool of candidates to review on LinkedIn. But now, with AI-Assisted Search and Projects, it's as easy as chatting with a friend. Just tell LinkedIn what you need, and it builds the perfect search for you! ✨ But here's the best part: AI-Assisted Search not only sets up your search, it also provides smart suggestions to refine your search parameters and uncover even more qualified talent. It’s like having a super-smart assistant who helps you discover talent that you never knew existed! And for those who prefer the traditional approach, don't worry – you can still manually adjust filters or run Boolean searches. The choice is yours. If you’re interested in improving speed and efficiency in your hiring process so you can have more time available for high-value activities like engaging with candidates and hiring managers, with AI-Assisted Search and Projects, you can find the perfect candidate faster and with less effort.

🤔 🤔 How do you engage your hiring managers to lead their "hard to hire", "niche", "leadership" roles etc with a skills-first rather than traditional approach (job title, industry or education) to talent identification? 🌟 🌟 Our talent acquisition team here at LinkedIn are encouraged to "show not tell". Using AI generative search in LinkedIn Recruiter or starting with LinkedIn Talent Insights, we can lead with data and influence our hiring managers to think differently about who they may consider for their roles. 👇 👇 Read below on the numerous benefits of this skills-first approach which far outweigh traditional sourcing methods. #LinkedIn #recruiter #LTI #TalentInsights LinkedIn LinkedIn Talent Solutions #talentacquisition #skills #skillsfirst

Around 72% of recruiters use LinkedIn when hiring new talent. The talent they hire through the platform is of higher quality than professionals they find through other job sites and methods. This shows that LinkedIn is not just popular but also effective in helping companies connect with highly skilled professionals. If you're looking to hire the best talent, LinkedIn is a crucial tool for your recruitment strategy. #Linkedingrowth #personalbranding #ai #socialnetworking

Fifteen years ago, just before I started Creative Alignments, I was doing contract recruiting work, and a fellow recruiter friend asked if I was using LinkedIn for recruiting (to which I said, really…is it effective?).  Little did I know that LinkedIn would become THE tool for recruiters for the following 15 years and counting. Today, while LinkedIn is the backbone of recruiting, it’s also a bit of a double-edged sword. LinkedIn has done an incredible job creating a platform that allows recruiters to access a vast pool of candidates. It’s now a professional network where people continually “opt-in” and update their profiles, making it a goldmine for recruiters. Despite its advantages, knowing that they’re the main game in town, LinkedIn is quite expensive and has locked small recruiting firms into costly contracts. I spend more on LinkedIn annually than on any other expense besides payroll. The platform's shift to filter-based sourcing a few years ago has also removed the skill and nuance from the sourcing process, making it easier for anyone to source candidates, but not necessarily the right ones, and definitely making the same folks susceptible to being pinged by recruiters left and right (not a good thing unless you’re actually job seeking). LinkedIn has also been incredibly protective of its API and it was only recently that other tools have been able to tap into the talent pool that exists within the platform to enhance and personalize a recruiters’ experience. Despite these minor frustrations, LinkedIn remains a critical tool in recruiting, and I’m interested to see how it adapts and evolves in the coming years with so much advancement in technology and gen AI. P.S: How has LinkedIn impacted your recruiting efforts? Share your experiences, and let’s explore solutions together. #Recruiting #LinkedIn #TalentAcquisition #AI #CreativeAlignments

**Dive Into the Deep End: Why Talent Pooling is the Recruiter's Secret Weapon** 💯 Hey TA Pros, Ever felt overwhelmed by the scramble to fill a position as soon as it opens up? It’s time we shift from a reactive recruiting mindset to a proactive one. Talent pooling isn’t just another buzzword—it’s one of the most effective strategies in our recruiting toolkit for just this reason. Here’s why being proactive is a game changer: 🎯 **Preparedness Over Panic**: With talent pools, we’re always ahead of the game. Instead of starting from scratch each time, we have a ready lineup of potential candidates who are pre-qualified and eager. 🔗 **Stronger Relationships**: Proactive recruitment lets us engage with talent before we need to fill a role, building relationships that enrich our employer brand and keep candidates engaged for future opportunities. 🚀 **Speedy Placement**: When a position opens, having a ready pool of candidates not only speeds up the hiring process but also gives us the luxury of choice in a competitive market. ### How Do We Build These Mighty Pools? 1. **Leverage Social Media**: Platforms like LinkedIn are goldmines for spotting and connecting with potential candidates. Regular posts and interaction keep us on their radar. 2. **Networking Events and Webinars**: These are perfect for meeting potential candidates in a more relaxed setting, allowing for genuine connections that can be nurtured over time. 3. **Alumni and Silver Medalists**: Keep tabs on past applicants and former employees. Their familiarity with the company culture and processes makes them prime candidates. 4. **AI and Automation Tools**: Use technology like ChatGPT to automate initial contacts and maintain relationships with minimal effort but maximum personalization. Talent pooling isn’t just about having a list of names—it’s about fostering a community of potential future employees who are ready and eager to jump on board when the right role opens up. Let’s make hiring less about searching and more about connecting! #TalentAcquisition #Recruiting #HumanResources #TalentPooling #Networking
