Endless captchas

Don’t bother you won’t get access but be subjected endless captchas

Disappointing

Paid for Lite to try out the basics and it is so trash. A search in an MNC for entry level role for current and past, continental location, results 48 profiles. Seriously? Are my filters too narrow or there isn’t enough profiles on LinkedIn? If you cannot even get the fundamentals to work, you expect us to pay 5 figures to get a little more? I had to use your normal LinkedIn to search and even then your results are mismatched. Read the 1 star reviews from 6 years ago and they had the same issues I did. 5 figures in subscription fee and you guys are not even trying to improve the system?

I Highly Recommend

I have been using LinkedIn since 2006
As a full time Recruiter, it’s a big help for both candidate search and job post.

Pésima

*ESP
Es increíble que una herramienta tan cara funcione tan mal. La app es lentísima, tiene un diseño totalmente anticuado y los tiempos de carga son desesperantes. No permite hacer búsquedas ni tiene rastro de las nuevas funciones de IA que sí están en Desktop (y que también es old fashioned, lenta, y parece abandonada). Parece una aplicación abandonada desde hace años que solo sirve para leer mensajes, pero no para reclutar de verdad. Una decepción total.

*ENG
It’s frustrating how slow and outdated this app feels. The loading times are endless and the design is stuck in the past. You can’t even run new searches or use any AI features, making it pretty much useless for actual recruiting. It feels completely abandoned and definitely isn't worth the recruiter subscription price (both, app and desktop).

Please add Connection Request option directly in LinkedIn Recruiter!

I absolutely love the LinkedIn Recruiter app except for one thing, I have to view the public profile of a candidate every time I find one that I like and want to connect with. This adds an additional 2 or 3 steps as the profile has to load up in the regular LinkedIn app and then you have to request to connect, this seriously slows down the recruiting workflow when you’re sourcing through potentially hundreds of candidates and is very time consuming at a large scale. If the connection request option can be right there in the LinkedIn Recruiter app so it’s quick and right there, reducing those extra steps, that would be so incredibly helpful and make things much more productive.

For the amount of money LinkedIn charges for this program per month, I can’t understand why this option isnt already included in it. Please add this feature to it, thank you so much from a busy recruiter, I will truly be grateful! :)
