Connecting platforms to transform high-volume pipelines into quality hires
Before implementing these LinkedIn hiring integrations, Newsweek’s recruitment team faced several limitations that impeded efficiency and candidate experience
Recruiting staff often toggled between LinkedIn Recruiter and the Greenhouse ATS, which fragmented workflows and slowed down hiring processes.
Large volumes of applicant pipelines—especially for high-demand, remote positions—made screening and vetting applicants time-intensive.
On average, it took up to 30–45 days to fill a single open role across roughly 25 ongoing requisitions each quarter. With no established processes in place, the recruitment function needed transformation to achieve the twin goals of prioritizing diversity and swiftly identifying high-quality talent.
How LinkedIn helped
By leveraging Recruiter System Connect and Apply Connect, Newsweek has not only revolutionized its recruiting operations but also redefined what it means to provide an exceptional candidate and recruiter experience. These integrations allow the team to focus on strategic outcomes—like fostering an inclusive workplace and hiring the best-fit talent—while streamlining routine recruitment processes. For organizations seeking innovative ways to enhance hiring, LinkedIn’s tools provide the edge needed to succeed in today’s competitive talent market.
Integrating LinkedIn with Greenhouse has helped increase our volume of quality applicants and made the experience more seamless for both our candidates and our recruiters. It’s a win-win for both sides of the hiring process.
