LinkedIn Jobs vs. SimplyHired

LinkedIn Jobs is the perfect platform for those companies that are looking for a hiring mechanism that is much more effective and saves them time. It is a service that works within a social network, however, this makes the effectiveness much greater since job offers can be directly accessible to a large group of people. Its ability to organize candidates in an automated way is incredible, this service organizes candidates by placement, endorsements and quality of skills. In addition, LinkedIn Jobs has a very attractive administrative dashboard, where you can have total control of the job offers open for the company, and which candidates have been received. It is an excellent option to carry out a quality hiring, where you can learn more about the candidate and know what benefits they can bring.

The job types (full time, contract, part time etc.) help to easily distinguish between different types of job postings, and the jobs are filtered based on the job types. The most recent job or openings are displayed on top which helps the job aspirants to apply to the most recent ones. The salary calculator app helps to understand better the salary applicable for the position and the experience.

• Customizable screening questions - they somewhat recently improved this!! Custom questions used to not be an option but now that it is, it’s definitely a step up.
• Helps automate the process - can send auto-rejection email if I choose. I like to notify candidates that I did receive their application and am not just ignoring it.
• Tends to offer high-quality candidates. If not a fit for the job they applied for, sometimes we have a different position for them.

• The post-to-hire time is significantly lower, which augurs well with our organizational requirements.
• It's very easy to navigate, quite user friendly screen and options makes it easier for posting and searching jobs.

• Would be ideal to have an option for remote as the location of the position, or have it be a secondary location to the physical address of the company.
• Some of the key terms are a bit generic, would be great to see main key terms and then secondary as many jobs fall under two different specialties/fields.
• Repetition of the same jobs being sent out over the email digest.

• Although the sorting process is easy through SimplyHired when you check candidates to send a message, it un-checks them after the message is sent, so you have to go back through and re-check all applicants to move them. I'd like to have the candidates remain checked and highlighted after I send them a message.
• It would be great to have messages sent out automatically once we move them into new categories.

Asking price really versus quality. Not a bad thing, but budget can be a problem.

Overall the LinkedIn Jobs are very very useful product for job seeking candidates, posting their requirements, posting the advertisement, communicating the job looking candidates and finding the good companies job vacancies so mostly the LinkedIn Jobs are very genuine useful for employees. It used for our knowledge, company growth and carrier improvement also.

There are many complaints that there is no way to contact their support. There is no phone number, nor chat and people aren't receiving responses on social media. I have used "Feedback" to report on the job description page the flaw in incorrect locations.

I am a big fan of the services provided in SimplyHired. I have no reservations recommending this product to any HR department that is looking for new avenues to explore in attracting candidates.

Indeed is simply a blind job posting board whereas LinkedIn Jobs has more transparency. LinkedIn is also better suited for professionals who may be looking for higher earning potential jobs whereas Indeed does have a lot of entry level followers tied to it. LinkedIn also serves as your cover letter and resume (although you should always upload both) where the recruiter can see your face, the brands and companies you associate with and any/all recommendations and posts you've placed within our area of expertise

SimplyHired is almost neck in neck with ZipRecruiter, but overall it stands out in the number of applicants it obtains. I do think that trends come and go, and there could come a time when ZipRecruiter is the best place for applicants, but until we see a decline on SimplyHired, we don't plan to invest elsewhere.

• LinkedIn Jobs has not yielded any hires for our company. We have been able to network with many individuals and share ideas as well as promote our company via LinkedIn but we have not had any actual hires.
• LinkedIn Jobs, has stimulated great conversation for connections and within our network. Many referrals come from LinkedIn Jobs without intermediaries such as job recruiters. It is like real life networking at a big work convention but on social media.
• When using LinkedIn jobs, you do gain exposure for your company to potential job recruiters which have contacted us as well about potential ways we can work together.
