Looking for Fresh ‘Open to Work’ Candidates in My LinkedIn Talent Pool
I’m interested in identifying newly ‘Open to Work’ candidates in my talent pool. When I conduct a search and see 2,000 profiles, I want to run the search again the following week and only see the new candidates who have marked themselves as ‘Open to Work’ since then. I’ve tried using LinkedIn Recruiter, but it doesn’t allow me to export to Excel for an XLOOKUP. Any tips or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you’re looking for a way to efficiently track new “Open to Work” candidates in your talent pool on LinkedIn Recruiter. Unfortunately, LinkedIn Recruiter does have some limitations when it comes to exporting data directly to Excel, and the platform does not provide a built-in feature to filter results by the date candidates updated their status.
Here are a few suggestions that might help you achieve your goal:
Advanced Search Filters: Use the advanced search filters in LinkedIn Recruiter to narrow your search results to “Open to Work” candidates. While it won’t allow for a chronological view, it can help streamline your current searches.
Manual Tracking: When you perform a search, you could manually keep track of candidates by noting when you first see them as “Open to Work.” Create a simple spreadsheet where you log the candidates you find each week, along with the date you discovered them. This way, you’d at least have a history to reference.
Utilize Tags and Notes: Use the tagging and notes features within LinkedIn Recruiter to mark candidates. You can create a tag specifically for “New Open to Work” candidates and add notes about when you discovered them. This way, you can revisit your talent pool and filter by these tags.
Third-Party Tools: There are third-party recruitment tools that integrate with LinkedIn and may offer more advanced data management capabilities. Explore options like CRM systems for recruitment, which may provide better tracking features.
Regular Updates: Commit to checking your talent pool at regular intervals (weekly or bi-weekly), and focus on the candidates that have recently changed their status to “Open to Work.”
Ultimately, while LinkedIn doesn’t allow for easy tracking of newly opened candidates over time, combining various strategies might help you manage your talent pool more effectively. Good luck!
