Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use LinkedIn Premium Career in my organization to find talent for professional hard-to-fill positions. These positions can be tough, and a LinkedIn premium career can help address those problems. I tend to use it for highly specialized positions with particular license requirements.

Pros

  • Find special talent.
  • Easy to use.

Cons

  • It could help find people who are not actively looking.
  • It’s hard to hit on people who are not in my network.
  • Posting more than one position at once for free would be helpful.

Return on Investment

  • Decreased day to fill.
  • Increase communication opportunities.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were struggling to fill a Development Associate role—posting jobs and waiting just wasn’t working. LinkedIn Premium Career let us take a more targeted approach. We could search for exactly who we needed, reach out directly with InMail, and connect with strong candidates who weren’t actively looking but were open to a conversation.It helped us break through the noise, and we ended up hiring a great fit for the role. For us, it’s become a go-to tool when traditional methods fall short, especially for fundraising and advancement roles.

Pros

  • Promoting the posting
  • finding candiates
  • spreading awareness

Cons

  • Not sure to be honest

Return on Investment

  • all good nothing to add
