How LinkedIn Recruiter works
Search for the right candidates

Narrow down your search. Use 40+ advanced filters, keyword search, Boolean search, and search filters based on LinkedIn signals (ex: "open to work") to home in on candidates with the right skills and experience.
Get smart recommendations. As you refine your search, Recruiter learns from your actions to deliver a list of recommended candidates for your role.
Reach out
Engage quality candidates. Send a personalized InMail message or bulk-message multiple candidates at once — and save your messages as templates for easy future use.
Stay on top of your outreach. Get reminders to follow up with candidates and sync your calendar for efficient scheduling.
Reply on the go. Get notified via the Recruiter mobile app as soon as candidates respond so you can reply in the moment.
