SUCCESS STORY
With growing ecommerce traffic, Estée Lauder needed to scale. Vice President Jolie Chehadeh knew that to source technical and digital talent quickly, the company needed to ramp online recruiting efforts. By partnering with LinkedIn's Talent Solutions Enterprise Program (TSEP), Estée Lauder was able to provide the entire recruiting team access to LinkedIn Recruiter to help them find, connect with and manage candidates. To attract applicants, the company leveraged the entire LinkedIn platform to build brand awareness.
