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!!

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.

Hey Amanda!

I'm a rising senior at Brown and am doing some research into recruiting tools. I was wondering if you could comment on the features of a recruiter account versus a sourcer account.

In a recruiter account, what are the limitations on the amount of messages that you can send? I imagine that you can't send 1,000 InMails every month to 400 people each, nor can you send 1 InMail to 50,000 people on LinkedIn.

On that note, what is the pricing structure? Do you pay per the amount of messages you can send or candidates that you can see?

And finally, do you know anything more about the sourcer account and how that differs from a regular recruiting account?

Thanks very much!

Hi Nick,

I think that it's going to happen on any site you register for. They have a "report this person" button and the "I don't know" feature. I think from their end, thats the best they can control it.

We do. We use it as a recruiting tool and as a loose CRM. It has helped us to reduce our spend on job boards by almost 45%. I think that the smart recruiters are still using it the right way. As with all other tools, the spammers will be identified and the real candidates/recruiters will move to a better platform if need be. It's a very Darwinian process, i find.

Hi Pete,

I think that maybe as more and more recruiters use these sites to recruit people (who needs a database anymore!) that they will end up becoming recruitment databases/tools. Maybe then people will only post if they want to attract the attention of jobseekers.
