LinkedIn Recruiter Positive Reviews
LinkedIn Recruiter App - UpgradedThe NEW LinkedIn recruiter app is by far the best recruitment tool a recruiter could ask for. The trick is to build out the projects and searches on your desktop. Then when you are out and about, the app is ready for you to easily source and add people to projects. It’s fun and super simple. Also, your sales leaders now have full access to the projects. They can add Candidte’s to projects, move through stages, add notes, send inmails and view messages that you have sent. This is by far my most favorite sourcing tool. So excited to recruit on my laptop or while out and about living life 🤓.NB UnicornVersion: 2.02
Finally!The Recruiter app used to be the lowest ROI of any app I’ve had, considering the high price of LinkedIn Recruiter and low functionality.
The app is now a power app, doing much of what is handled from the web app, in a very simple interface. I plan to start actually using this more now.
The only immediate complaint I have, and hence 4 stars instead of 5, is that messaging lacks the ability to change project status directly. Since I use the web/desktop for mostly proactive work and the mobile for reactive, the most useful activity for me on mobile is to review and reply to messages, while updating project status.
The current interface requires going into the profile, making the status updates about 6 clicks instead of 1-2. Easy enough for 3 messages, but when I have 100 to update to, that’s an additional 300+ clicks and about 5 minutes of work. More critically the break in flow of going into the profile increases my chances of getting distracted. I get distracted easily.
Overall, great app, though. Thank you!.FatheroftheyearVersion: 2.1.2
Fantastic new application!I am extremely satisfied with the new LinkedIn Recruiter Mobile app! It’s everything you could want as a recruiter. You can isolate specific conversations, send attachments, get notifications, and do everything you need to do as a recruiter from just your phone. It’s user friendly and visually pleasing. The only reason why I rated 4/5 stars instead of 5 is that it came much later than it should have. This kind of application should have been available a long time ago. Glad they finally fixed it, as the old one was completely dead and useless. It was not even worth using, and a complete eye sore to deal with. Overall, very happy about this..ITRecruiter92Version: 2.0.7
RecruiterI’ve been working with LI recruiter for over a decade now. Still one of the best products offered
By LinkedIn. They’ve made working on Projects more efficient, easy to use and navigate. As we all know the timelines needed to find the right candidate is crucial now more than ever. Keep it up LinkedIn!.Tw!!!!!!12345Version: 2.3.0

So Much Better Than Desktop Search!Through the Recruiter App one can add search parameters so much more easily and , as a consequence, each search yields many many more candidates. And b/c of the ease of scrolling CN evaluation is more efficient and more effective..Kimberry68Version: 2.2.2
So efficient! I love this app!This app is nothing short of fantastic! Everything about it is just like being on the desktop and it is very convenient. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I wish I could edit my template messages in the app; other than that it’s great..Archie SearchVersion: 2.2.2
LinkedIn RecruiterI have used LinkedIn’s Enterprise, RecruiterLite and now the small business version of Recruiter. It is very nice to have all of my candidates organized in one place.
The platform also provides suggested candidates for my projects. I highly recommend it for anyone who spends most of their time sourcing for candidates.
Happy hunting!.KompendiumKurtVersion: 2.1.8

Great Way To Find Local Talent!As a local recruiter, I’m very connected to local IT talent and I need to keep in touch with them when their email or other contact information changes.

Annoying popup requesting updateOn every open, the app asks you to update to a new version even if you’re on the latest version. For a $1k/mo product, pretty miserable.Stef7273Version: 2.0

A few flawsIt’s a good product but some flaws:
1- You can’t create and save new templates in the app
2- You can’t adjust for timeline of when you sent messages (only all or nothing)
3- There should be a choice of 15 miles (not just 10 or 25) in distance
4- Much more cities need to be loaded in.Lolly JobVersion: 2.3.6

Thank you for improving the app, now I can fully use the app to recruitUpdates: after my previous comments, I received an email from LinkedIn and noticed 2 points I mentioned earlier have been incorporated/changed. Thank you and keep up the good work.
First of all, the one desktop login limit is ridiculous!!! Now on iPad, i can’t login on my browser and app at the same time, which makes super inconvenient. I don’t mind completely using the app, but could you guys make it better? I One thing super annoying is all the profiles you viewed via the app won’t be considered as viewed..SamTseVersion: 2.2.5

LinkedIn Recruiter Negative Reviews
Not “Recruiter” Not “Recruiter lite”- horribly crippled subset of web app featuresThe app launches and opens to "inbox" and is limited exclusively to messaging and candidate searching.
None of my (many) existing project folders are visible or accessible directly from any of the main app control buttons.
There is no apparent way (or button) to add new project folders in the app from any of the app control buttons. .
Candidate search results show candidates tied to existing project folders but those viewable folders are inaccessible. you cannot access project folder, add candidates to existing project folders
Basically, the project folders (that are only visible in search results) are not actually usable as normal.
This app is a horribly crippled version of web app and prior IOS version which had full access to and manipulation of project folders.
It's not actually "Recruiter Lite" and it is not usable for any recruiter that is sourcing on the go from their ipad.
I’ve spent the past month with LI enterprise support with zero progress other than continual requests for more info including screen recordings. They have no comprehension of how integral project folders are to recruiting process and the app itself..Quantify TalentVersion: 2.1.9
Linked is lostDropped my premium account I had for both myself and as an employer. I don’t need another platform to look at more political posts. As an Employer: Seems the site is no longer really about gaining applicants or making meaningful business connections. Most people don’t respond or even apply through linked anymore. As an Employee: Employers/recruiters aren’t really reaching or trying to attract people to positions. Only positions people aggressively reach out to you about is all commission based jobs or trying to get you to buy some service. I loved the idea of linked in. However, I think it’s headed into a position of no return if the company doesn’t figure out it’s purpose and how to deliver it..Upset UserVersion: 2.2.8.1
This app is uselessLinkedIn Recruiter is not cheap. The UX is terrible both on the web version and on the app. The app shows my list of projects but when I click on my pipeline which has candidates in it, it spins and returns to my list of projects. This has persisted through at least one or two updates. I have been using this app for months, well, I’ve had it downloaded for months and have never been able to use it. Do better LinkedIn.AH 18-19Version: 2.02
Something Is Wrong...Love the new look, but every time I open the updated app it has a pop up that says “Update to the latest version for the best experience” and then I am automatically put over to the app store. Here’s the best part! Instead of a download icon to get that “best version” there is the open app icon, which sends me right back to the app. And so on...vicious loop!.Jensch67Version: 2.0
Terrible performanceGiven people are paying between $130 - $1000 per month to utilize LinkedIn Recruiter, I’m shocked by how terrible the app is. The performance is horrendous. It freezes when scrolling down/attempting to load more profiles for a good 15/25 seconds. The app crashes in the middle of setting filters. On the latest version, latest iphone, and it’s been happening for 6+ months..MattFalVersion: 2.1.6
The Worst!The app has so many glitches and doesn’t ever notify my when I have a message. I miss so many messages from potential candidates that it makes me look bad and has hurt my career. For being as big of a company as they are and having the technical resources at their fingertips, I’d expect far more from them. It’s sad..Sylly222Version: 2.2.6
Barely functioningWhy roll a triumphant new version out when it’s broken. I have 3 postings and I can’t see anything other than the fact that they exist. Instead of seeing the applicants I see “coming soon.” Search filters don’t match those on web. What’s the point of this app? All I can do is manage my inbox - no ability to effectively do recruiting..Jonesicle517Version: 2.0
Zero support for this toolIf you use this feature do not expect to find any live support, online or by phone. The online chat button seems to magically appear and disappear. If all goes well, this tool seems fine enough, but that’s a big gamble for the money you’re spending..None9097362Version: 2.2.8.1
Immediately brokenI have one job posting, created via web. It appears as a list item but cannot be viewed. The pipeline and recommended candidates features cause loading spinners to appear but then stop, reverting to the list view. Not a good look for a company of LinkedIn’s caliber..Njtransit_commuterVersion: 2.0.1

Only search and messagingHorrible app.
No way to view projects or existing candidates. This app simply searches and messages.
You have access to a small fraction of what you can do on the website. If an app can’t relocate its associated site’s functionality then what’s the point?!
It feels like someone read a scrum book and mistook the need for a minimum viable product with the same thing as a public release. Alienate your audience with a poor quality app and all your development is for naught..SlajevicVersion: 2.0.3.2
Terrible Customer Service and Awful GlitchesLinkedIn Recruiter has awful glitches that affect your ability to recruit.
I’ve contacted customer service many times and have gotten no response for the same issue.

Can’t switch accountsLying astronomically for a service I would like it to work. I am paying for a full recruiter seat but on mobile it automatically logs me in to recruiter lite.
There formerly was a button in settings that would allow you to switch back and forth between your seats, but it seems to have been removed. Why make it so complicated?.HcoshowhxVersion: 2.2.2

Why hasn’t LinkedIn figured this out yet?This would help recruiters sooo much if the app worked correctly. I can’t even log into my account..Pbandj3366Version: 2.0.4
Needs Significant ImprovementThe interface for messaging has consistent formatting issues. I’m extremely limited in what I can do with LI recruiter unless I have access to a computer.

Worst app I’ve ever usedThis app doesn’t work at all. It doesn’t show any of my messages that are in my LinkedIn recruiter account. We pay 10K USD per year to use this service and LinkedIn’s mobile app is absolute trash. When will you guys fix this? Totally unacceptable..BigbunzyVersion: 2.0.1

Disappointing embedded browser appSeems like very little thought went into the UX of this app. The UI is slow and looks just like their mobile website. The projects list shows all projects, even the ones not relevant to me.
