LinkedIn is a B2B social platform powerhouse 700 million users strong, including 1.6 million active talent professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reason alone makes LinkedIn Recruiter an immediate contender among competing hiring solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we\u2019ll focus on clarifying how LinkedIn Recruiter works based around its three major functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Candidate search <\/li>
  2. Candidate engagement <\/li>
  3. Collaboration tools<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Search the Entire LinkedIn Network for Your Ideal Candidates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Again, this is LinkedIn we\u2019re talking about, arguably the most popular B2B social platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Having access to this massive network of professionals means that you can find the right candidates and have remarkable visibility into their work history, contact information, and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are the most important search features in LinkedIn Recruiter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Search the entire LinkedIn network (beyond your 3rd-degree connections)<\/li>
    2. Advanced search features, including keyword and Boolean searches<\/li>
    3. AI-based candidate search \u201cSpotlights\u201d<\/li>
    4. Candidate skill assessments<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Search Beyond Your 3rd-Degree Connections with LinkedIn Recruiter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      First, this feature is exclusive to LinkedIn Recruiter and not available to LinkedIn Recruiter Lite, which limits your ability to only search up to 3rd-degree connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      With 700 million users, you can be confident that you\u2019ll find the right candidate for your openings, especially with the ability to dive deep with advanced search features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Narrow Your Candidate Pool with Advanced Keyword and Boolean Searches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      LinkedIn Recruiter offers you access to over 40 candidate search filters to help you find the perfect candidate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can look into their spoken languages, how many years they\u2019ve been at a company, and whether or not they\u2019re open to contract work. And you can use Boolean operators to broaden, define, or limit your search further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      AI-based Spotlights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Spotlights is an AI-based search feature in LinkedIn Recruiter that prioritizes your most relevant candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      These smart search suggestions are based on insights and Spotlights can recommend skills, locations, and companies to help you determine which candidates are more likely to engage with your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here are some possible Spotlight examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
