"Active and frequent engagement on social media gives us the platform to exert a high degree of interaction and influence."

"Being socially engaged helps us to work with the best talent in the market place as well as work on the best opportunities across a range of organisations."

“We’ve got to gain trust through our brand for people to transition to work for us.”

“It was like Christmas morning when my team finally had access to LinkedIn’s products. We were finally able to proactively source people and make informed, data-driven decisions.”

"Talk to your candidates from a "what's in it for them" perspective in your postings. Avoid your postings looking like a list of hurdles for your applicants and transform them into an advertisement of company culture and employee opportunity."

“If you want to stay ahead of the competition and remain the preferred partner of sales professionals open to new opportunities, you must continue to improve and innovate in many areas. When it comes to market insights and connecting to our candidates, LinkedIn is our main source.”

“LinkedIn Recruiter enables our team of intelligent consultants to find the right profiles by means of a very extensive range of filters. We can incorporate the strict requirements from our client into the many options LinkedIn Recruiter has to offer, resulting in very specific search results.”

“More than 80 per cent of Salesrecruiters’ new candidates are sourced via LinkedIn and engage with the company via the platform ­– without LinkedIn we can’t do our work.”

"It’s challenging to find the exact fit for Playworks because we are a unique organization. LinkedIn’s platform allows us to project our creative, fun, playful image on our career page and in our job postings so when candidates come to our door, they already know what to expect."

"Randstad MENA is completely integrated with LinkedIn. Every one of our consultants is highly trained on LinkedIn Recruiter."

“It gets harder and harder to find the right candidates."

“I think the secret is to actually target the right people and also the right personalities because you're trying to find a team member – someone who can really contribute."

“If you look at how companies use LinkedIn to communicate and engage, you will see one of two things – either a company says ‘we need staff’ or a company says ‘we’re great’. There is a big white space around engagement. We want to occupy that space.”

“We saw great success with the video adverts – an 8.4 per cent engagement rate and discovered that our carousel advert was the most effective way of engaging technology professionals, with 1,284 clicks."

“One thing that LinkedIn really does is revolutionize the way that people look for jobs and find jobs. It’s definitely changed the face of recruitment. And I think recruitment the old way is going away and social networks are the new way forward.”
