Has anyone had a chance to walk through the web demo of Linkedin's newest feature?

I walked through it yesterday with Linkedin's Brittany Schmitt. This tool is AWESOME!! It is going "live" at the end of this month. I am really hoping our director will give us the "green light" to purchase it. I will say it costs a pretty penny but I think it is worth it!

What are your thoughts? Will your company/team be getting this feature?

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond---I had t o switch computers---kept getting booted off the website with my other one.

So the new feature allows you to share pooled inmails with your team, saves your search strings (automatically), lets you create templates to send to candidates, lets you send multiple inmails at once, gives you access to every single person’s profile on linkedin (even if you aren’t connected to him/her), lets you create reports (exports to excel)---among many other features! But---for our team to have the minimum 5 accounts (which is required)-it will cost our team 25k.



They are also coming out with a linkedin “sourcer”—which will be a little bit cheaper.





Connect with Brittany Schmitt for a free demo. Let me know what you think!!

Hello~

I attended a LinkedIn Corporate Solutions presentation last week. What I thought was really cool is how candidates that are recommended/endorsed are a reliable way of sourcing candidates whether its in in or outside of your network. Like Amanda mentioned, you get a certain amount of InMails and Introductions. There is a search engine that is downloaded on your toolbar that lets you save searches when searching for candidates. This is mostly team-oriented, as you team members in your organization are able to view each other's efforts.

This tool is great. We just signed our deal last month and are now able to drop one of the overpriced, underproducing "major" boards. It's not a terribly expensive amount, depending on the size of your shop - usually about 5k per recruiter license. But the ability to each creat individual "projects" and track messages, and see each others efforts, so as not to duplicate them? Wow. NO other board offers that. And with the 3 rotating job spots, you really get your hottest stuff out. I know I kind of sound like a LinkedIn homer, but I'm really just a happy customer. Can wait till the new interface launches and we can start using it in earnest. Our Sales guy was great, sharp, attentive, and really took the time to prove the system to us, not just SELL it.

100% recommend.
