In my mind the cost is insignificant compared to the benefits. What normally takes 8-10 days to put together a list of pre-qualified and interested passive candidates can now be done in 1-2 days with LinkedIn Recruiter. This equates to at least 10-20 more placements per year just from from a productivity standpoint, so I’m willing to make the investment. Even better, by speeding up the process Quality of Hire can be the driving metric not time, so managers don’t ever become pushed to make a short-term decision. And since time to fill is shortened by 50% cost per hire also drops. It’s pretty clear that true cost/hire is a function of time to fill when opportunity costs are taken into account. There are new ways to do things, some good, some fleeting. As far as I’m concerned LinkedIn Recruiter is a must have on all fronts. Recruiters who don’t get onboard will sing a song that it’s not needed, but that’s what the buggy makers said long ago. History does repeat itself.

It seems, though, that a lot of your success depends on LinkedIn. Not everybody uses LinkedIn or has a LinkedIn Recruiter account and quite frankly you don’t absolutely need it to be a successful recruiter (I prove that over and over again).

What did you do before LinkedIn? THOSE are the stories and techniques I want to hear about!

This is sensible,”back-to-basics” recruiting, which isn’t given as much attention as it should.

Have a Great Weekend,

Keith
