LinkedIn Recruiter

LinkedIn is the only real professional networking tool on the market, and they know it. That’s why they charge astronomical fees and provide very little return. Unannounced major changes to platform functionality has meant I have not been able to conduct the basic searches I paid for (changed industry codes in search function but did not mitigate for that in the back end meaning I cannot search for most people in my own network who haven’t updated to the new codes). There are constant basic glitches in the dashboard view (not updating replies to messages, double instances of messages, projects not updating with correct insights) etc. it is quite possibly one of the most poorly managed tools I’ve ever had to use. And they really couldn’t care less about that or their customers.

Hiya boys and girls. The top pixels are missing in the larger pictures, outside my home— England and WAL

Not sure everybody will agree, but the app is so intuitive. The sizing is great, the break down of various sections are easier to navigate, and the messaging is full screen. Cons: it’s on my phone

I’m a recruiter and use this more than most other apps. But it’s become unusable. How can an organisation this big not have the team/infrastructure to build a useable app 🤔

Deeply broken login UI. Then, once scrolling through a list of search results the UI switches out to ‘Messages’, with zero navigation elements available to return to the search I was scrolling through. Not ready for release - absolute garbage. And the dev response to this note? Uninstall and reinstall … and if it’s still broken, send us an email. As Greta might say “we’re really sorry blah blah blah … have you tried uninstalling blah blah blah”. No LinkedIn - not sending you an email - I’ve already given you enough information to investigate. My apps auto-update. This blah response just serves to increase friction in getting feedback that you might lead to you actually doing some work to fix this. You want another note? On iPadOS you can’t save a search. I mean what the actual ..? It says to go use the web page?! In an app!!? This stinks of some sideline app that an intern worked on and ran our of time and now nobody looks after it. Well done LinkedIn - I took you up on part of your suggestion … app deleted.

Fantastic! I’m on the go and replying to candidates. I’m even able to view their profiles as I respond! 1000% recommend!

Keep going to log into the app and user name / email address and password combo is correct and then get sms a code which I have inputted and then it pauses on a white screen before taking me back to a sign in screen ?? Have deleted and redone loaded about 4 times and have turned my phone off and on and it keeps glitching out

I find this app really useful now.

Awesome now, used to be clunky and nigh on featureless though i can almost ‘pick up’ where i left off on desktop.

Yes, it’s been made to look and feel better, and even has functional improvements to its first iteration (that was awful), but when you pay £20k plus for several licences you’d expect a better app. Messages: wow, how painful is it to know that your messages don’t send when dealing with applicants for roles. I’ve sat waiting for replies for days, losing great candidates, wondering why they’ve not replied - when finally realising they haven’t had the message send. Raised this with the tech team SO many times and they give ‘zero cares’ (I want to use a stronger word). Then there is the synergy with desktop platform. How hard it is to make the same functions available through the app. I get you have to scale down, but I am absolutely sure you can make the functions work. I compare this app to the QuickBooks desktop versus app comparison. Desktop great. Apps are pants! Following Developer response: No, I do not want to fill out a form and waste my time giving you ‘suggestions’. The suggestions are real issues that are highlighted here.
