Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Review" September 22, 2022 5.0 LinkedIn is very useful to me and with this my time is getting better and easy. Pros Finding the people from different states and countries and connect with them and discuss about the position we have and give them a bright future Cons least is nothing everything is fine, no issues with this, getting happier day by day thats it, no other issues with this. Review Source Kyle M. Account-Based Marketing Manager Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solid Choice for Marketing & HR" May 20, 2022 5.0 Overall, LinkedIn for Business is a relatively simple yet rather critical tool in our company's tool belt. While it does not eliminate the need for other tools, it does it job well and fulfills our organization's needs. Pros LinkedIn for Business is a well-made tool for both Marketing teams and Recruiters to share important company updates, new job listings, and overall develop the organization's brand on the world's leading professional social media platform. Cons While LinkedIn for Business is great at brand management and recruitment, there are more robust platforms out there for managing the candidate pipeline.

Keeps my professional acquaintances in a close loop. Pros The customer support. The free offers. The recommendation feature. A wonderful tool to be honest Cons I haven't found any negative yet. This is simply the best tool for professionals.

Pros Thanks to the application, I can create job postings for the positions I am looking for and easily reach candidates with the required qualifications. Cons Thanks to the application, I can create job postings for the positions I am looking for and easily reach candidates with the necessary qualifications, but I find the application expensive in general.

Community Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "NO way around it, you have to be on social" September 22, 2022 4.0 Overall, we have had a positive experience on Linked In. Our company gets a decent amount of interaction, and being able to associate your personal account with the brand you work for is fantastic. Pros The best feature of this site is the culture. It is business related, for sure, but business is run by people, so there is a lot of opportunity for interaction with individuals from all over the world in every imaginable industry. Cons The worst thing about Linked In is the support. Of course it's hard to keep a site like this running all the time to the complete satisfaction of everybody, and we all know people like to complain even when things are good, but it seems like there is a goodly amount of unchecked harassment, esp of women both in public posts, comments and DMs. The AI looks for key words, but more often than not, the baddies know how to work around it while folks who just want to call attention to it end up being the only ones whose posts are removed or accounts blocked. It's kind of the Wild West over there. Review Source BB Benjamin B. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Business Network Tool" May 6, 2018 5.0 Pros I have been using LinkedIn for years as a mere employee, to remain in touch with my co-workers and to find new job opportunities. Both tasks are well managed by LinkedIn. Now, being a business owner myself, I use far more features of LinkedIn, I use it for recruiting, for remaining it touch with partners and employees, and so on. The option to be endorsed and to receive and give recommendation is a nice extra, which I really love. Just as being able to upload titles and certificates, or to compile all your profile data into a fully fledged resume. Great tool, which I wouldn't wanna miss and almost use as much as Facebook. Cons LinkedIn is great and the free version does offer a lot of features. However, many of the interesting features, a business owner or recruiter would need, are included in one of the several premium packages. These appear to be quite expensive in their fees, though they do a great job. Just smaller businesses might not be able to afford it. In addition, I did not like the fact, that LinkedIn moved a way from a single Premium Subscription to a one, where you have to choose between several packages – or subscribe for more than one of these, which gets even more expensive.

Founder & Creative Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Tool for Building Relationships - Tech Needs Work to Dazzle" September 12, 2018 4.0 Pros The ability to connect with professionals across the world is absolutely remarkable. This tool encourages authentic engagement and community building which, in turn, often brings referrals and business opportunities. Platforms are only as strong as their users, and there have been some incredible power-users lately that make the platform truly shine which is why it is important to govern activity to prevent fraud / spam and promote super-users who can advocate for the business. Since Microsoft purchased LinkedIn, there have been many incredible adjustments, such as the addition of LinkedIn video, using GIFs and voice recordings in messaging, and I can't wait to see further enhancements. Cons The "Groups" functionality has a LOT of work to be done to really make it shine. There is no "Events" category or way to show and promote networking events. The messaging feature is very unorganized which looks like a CEO's, messy, ignored inbox. The support is really horrible. It's basically set up as DIY in forums, but when you do have a customer service representative respond, they often aren't very well versed in the technical aspects of the tool and cannot provide adequate information / support.

I received many calls regarding my employment in multiple companies to see my CV. But when I created my own company, I also examined many CVs from inside Egypt to hire a number of employees, and I always recommend this practical application to business owners and family. Pros found in the application many job seekers, as well as easily scanning CVs and communicating with partners from all over the world. It was and still is a unique experience, everything you need in one place Cons Customer service needs to be further developed to respond quickly and solve problems Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Front Desk Agent Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Connect to Colleagues" October 26, 2021 5.0 Overall I think LinkedIn is a great website to be able to connect to the workforce around you. I would appreciate if it was more accessible and less expensive for the premium benefits this would help create even more connections for more people. Pros LinkedIn is a great way to be able to connect to a myriad of people all over the world. It works the same as Facebook but is geared towards the business side where candidates can connect with potential employers. It helps create connections and solid networking and often leads to people finding career paths through linkedin. Cons The LinkedIn premium experience can be rather expensive, which can be upsetting because when you're looking for a job you may not have the disposable income to pay for premium service. Review Source EW Elena W. Office Administrator Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Becoming Harder and Harder to Network" May 24, 2021 3.0 Overall, my experience has been mixed. Failure to moderate the types of posts allowed has drawn LinkedIn for Business away from networking and has turned the platform into a regular social media page. On the flip side, the "Jobs" feature has been very helpful for our company, and the professional development opportunities on the platform seem promising. Pros Our business development team uses LinkedIn on an almost daily basis. The Premium Mail feature is really nice. It is also really easy to narrow down your search for new contacts using the multitude of filters available on the search page. Navigation and creating a post is also very easy. We are just starting to explore some of the webinars/classes that LinkedIn offers, but so far they seem good! We used LinkedIn to hire for the last two salaried positions in our office, and we were able to get some really good candidates. I would say that "Jobs" feature has been the most useful to us from a business perspective. Cons My number one complaint about LinkedIn is that, each day, it becomes more and more like Facebook. This was supposed to be a networking platform, but now it has become a harbor for memes, cute animal videos, etc. It is also rampant with aggressive political posts, which I think have no place in business. That's not really what I'm looking for from a networking perspective. Many of my peers in this industry share my frustration and are moving to Alignable for this exact reason. We may have to consider making the switch for networking purposes. We will still likely use the "Jobs" feature on LinkedIn though.

It is a good medium to make business connections and see how everyone else is doing in the business world. Cons I believe that the price is a bit high than usual and it should also be more user friendly in terms of the user interface and the features. Review Source IB Irene B. Maintenance & Safety Administrator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "LinkedIn Review" June 18, 2023 5.0 I would say this application is user friendly & a good communication tool for professionals. Pros I like the fact that this tool helps companies find better applicants that are more suited for jobs that need to be filled. Cons Only con I would say is that your information could be stolen just like any other site. Review Source Nabila B. Human Resources Manager Investment Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Premium features for LinkedIn" May 12, 2021 5.0 Creating a profile that builds my connection and network in the professional world. Searching for jobs and comparing salaries from different organizations is easy. Researching for a business and employment trend with this software also very helpful. Pros The business plan lets me to view profiles in my 3rd connection, which i can't see from a basic account. It is beneficial when i am searching for anyone in a particular organization. Other than that, the analytics insight gives me critical information when i am applying for a job vacancy on the platform or searching for a perfect candidate for our job vacancy. Cons It is expensive, and all the plan has its own features and distinguishes from each other. I need to change the program if I need to use the feature that only available on the program and can't use the feature on my current plan. Customer service is just average and not the best despite the expensive plan that i have paid.

And I will not be going to discontinue Linkedin in the near future. Pros LinkedIn is the best Social networking platform for Professionals. You can say it as your virtual portfolio that open to the whole world. You can showcase your education, professional skills, and past job experience here in an organize way. Millions of job seekers publish their profiles here and millions of recruiters look for professional talents. It also uses as a marketing and lead generation tool. Its available on all os platform and devices. Cons There are some fake employers and fake user profiles in LinkedIn, which is not acceptable in professional social networking platform. Also, the Linkedin premium is a bit costly. Review Source Neel R. Finance Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Worth Every Penny!!" August 17, 2022 5.0 Pros The software is so good to find profiles for recruitment or for any sponsorship work. We have been using the software for quite some time and takes time to get used to it. Overall amazing experience Cons The cost is the major factor that stops many people from using this software. But it is worth it.

It really is the best product out there. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. Pros The software is a great way to find and network with people from your industry and others. It's very easy to search for people in any industry, and then message them to set up an introduction. Getting to see people's career paths is also really helpful in knowing how your goals can be achieved. It is also really effective in finding job posts and applying through the site. Cons The monthly cost to be a Premium member is really high at $30, which comes out to $360 a year. Also, the notifications can be really annoying - some are helpful, like job postings, but you also end up getting random notifications of posts from people you barely know, trying to get you to use the app more.

One of the original social networks, it has stood the test of time and, with skillful use, can help others in your industry or related ones how your company is innovating, and maybe even lead to new business opportunities, for both individual employees and the company at large. If you're not using this with your team, get on board today.

Once you use it correctly and pay attention to the spams, you will make better use of it and build a large network of connecters and recruiters.
