Seeking Advice on LinkedIn Talent Solutions
I’ve been in discussions with LinkedIn regarding the possibility of switching to their Job Slots and Recruiter features instead of continuing with individual job postings.
I have two options on the table:
- Three job slots with the Recruiter feature for around £3200.
- Five job slots without the Recruiter feature for £1900 over six months.
Since most of our hiring focuses on junior positions, I’m uncertain about the value of the Recruiter feature in this context. Has anyone had experience with these options? I would appreciate any suggestions or insights!

It sounds like you’re weighing your options carefully, which is great! Given that your primary focus is on hiring junior roles, you might want to consider the following points:
Job Slots vs. Recruiter Feature: If you often have multiple job openings at the same time, the flexibility of job slots could be more beneficial, allowing you to post multiple positions as they arise. However, if you find that sourcing candidates is a challenge, the Recruiter feature might provide you with enhanced search capabilities and access to a larger pool of candidates.
Targeted Search: For junior roles, you might not need all the advanced features of the Recruiter tool right away. However, if the positions are competitive or niche, the powerful filtering options may help you identify suitable candidates faster.
Cost Efficiency: If your budget is a concern, the option with 5 job slots at £1900 seems to provide more opportunities for posting jobs without the higher cost of the Recruiter tool. You can always gauge your hiring success and revisit the Recruiter option later if needed.
Experimentation: Consider starting with the 5 job slots option to see how effectively you can fill your junior roles. You can track the success of your posts and candidate engagement, and if you find that sourcing becomes a bottleneck, you can explore adding the Recruiter feature later.
Networking and Community: Leverage your current network on LinkedIn for referrals. Personal connections can often yield great candidates, especially for entry-level roles.
Ultimately, it comes down to your specific hiring needs and budget. If you find that you’re consistently needing to source candidates beyond what job slots can accommodate, the Recruiter tool may be worth the investment. Good luck with your hiring!
