Job Seeker ( Basic, Seeker, Seeker Plus).

Premium ( Personal Plus, Business, Business Plus, Executive).

Within each of these high level categories, there are further options: When you upgrade from here, you face 5 different streams: Premium, Talent, Job Seeker, Sales and Recruiter. The real trick to using LinkedIn is NOT getting access to “hidden” parts of the system for free, it is knowing 1) how to search effectively, 2) knowing how to prioritse your results and 3) knowing what do do AFTER you have found the perfect candidate! A LinkedIn Recruiter account (the really expensive one) does not help you in any of these three areas.ĭid you know that there are 16 separate account types you can choose from? Yup, it’s more confusing than you think! Firstly, there is free, or “Basic”. For less than £13 per month (approx $20) you can get 99% of what you need from LinkedIn, without having to resort to too many time-consuming “tricks”. For most of you out there, however, you don’t need it.

I know lots of recruiters who enjoy great value from a Recruiter Pro account (which costs anything from £4k to £8k per license, per year) and I can see some benefits. You still can, but by adding this extra obstacle, I believe that a free account just became too much hard work if you really want to use LinkedIn as a hiring tool. This move is smart business as up until now you could do everything you needed to do on a free account. Early last year, LinkedIn started hiding the full surname and this appears to be just another step in reducing the value of a free account. It’s not that I have a problem paying for a tool, I just won’t pay for premium features that I don’t need and I won’t pay an extraordinary premium for features that do not provide an extraordinary benefit.Ģ weeks ago, LinkedIn rolled out a change to their database that effectively hides the entire profile of someone in your 3rd degreee network (and we in Social Talent have heard about instances where 2nd degree connection data is also hidden). I do have a problem, however, with how they price their product and how they fall short of telling their own customers how best to use the system. It has changed the face of the recruitment industry and every single recruiter I know uses it, and rightly so. Let me state on the record that I really like LinkedIn’s product. A lot changes in social media in 3 weeks! The MD of the company was curious as I had recommended to his Dublin team that they would be fine to continue using Free accounts.

I had trained their Dublin office three weeks previous and a question was raised when I recommended that they should all consider paying for Business accounts (these cost UK£12.95 per month) on LinkedIn. Last week I trained a team of agency recruiters in Cork.
