Welcome Recruiter users! Use this checklist to start getting the most from your Recruiter license right away, so you can find and hire quality talent right away.

🔹Build your LinkedIn profile

Look for opportunities to improve your LinkedIn profile. Make sure you use your real name and include a professional photo of yourself. Be sure your current company is listed and craft your summary. Leverage AI guidance to make it even easier.

🔹Create a project

Within a project, you can easily pick up your search where you last left off or start a new search, post a job, and manage applicants. A project also helps you track the status of candidates moving through your recruiting process and you can share your projects with team members to enhance collaboration and reduce duplication of work when multiple people are sourcing for the same role.

Note: Use AI-Assisted Project to make project creation efficient and tailored to your needs.

🔹Review your Talent pool

Once your project is created, Recruiter automatically runs an initial AI-assisted search within the Talent pool tab of your project, based on the criteria you entered. This is the beauty of starting your workflow in Recruiter with creating a project.

🔹Refine your search with filters

As you add or remove filters from your search, the suggestions will adjust in real time to offer the most relevant terms.

Note: You can hide and unhide the manual filters list to leverage the AI-Assisted Search in a more conversational manner in your Talent pool tab.

🔹Use Spotlights to focus on warm leads

Warm leads are more likely to respond favorably to outreach from your company. You can view prospects that are past applicants, or who are already engaged with your talent brand (those who are followers, or who have liked or commented on your company, and are twice as likely to respond to your InMail as other prospects), and other criteria.

🔹Send an InMail message

InMail enables you to send a direct message to potential candidates—no contact information needed. It’s the best way to contact and attract passive and in-between candidates. By using InMail, rather than email, you can use Recruiter’s built-in features, including AI-Assisted Messaging to further personalize your message, track your responses, and measure the effectiveness of your communications.

🔹Collaborate with your team

Within Recruiter there are many ways you can collaborate with your team and prevent duplication of work. Everyone on your dashboard can see the activity performed on a profile. Tags and statuses can be added as you and your teammates connect with candidates. Projects and InMail templates can be shared with the team, and profiles can be shared with hiring managers and teammates.
