LinkedIn Recruiter

Designed for professional candidate sourcing, LinkedIn Recruiter gives hiring teams tools to search LinkedIn member profiles and organize recruitment work. Search filters help narrow candidates by professional attributes, while messaging tools support contact with people who may not have applied to an advertised vacancy. Candidate recommendations offer another way to identify profiles relevant to an open role. The full Recruiter product supports a more developed team workflow than Recruiter Lite, which is a separate option aimed at lighter recruiting needs.

Its value comes from combining access to professional profile information with tools for managing candidate searches and outreach. Recruiter suits recruiters and hiring teams conducting proactive sourcing, rather than serving as a general sales prospecting tool. The usefulness of a search still depends on profile information and the team's judgment about a candidate's actual fit.
