10:06:25 >> From Catherine Hansen : @Katie, any idea on cost of LI Talent Insights module?
10:07:19 >> From Steven Green : How cost effective have you found Insights to be, considering LI Recruiter licenses can pricey. Any suggestions to pitch budget requests to include Insights?
10:07:28 >> From Liza Bryant : Also can you purchase LI Talent Insights as a stand-alone product or is it bundled with LinkedIn Recruiter?
10:08:49 >> From Jenny Bastrom to All panelists : Recruiting in state government puts limits on tax payer money. At six figures, we decided to cancel our complete LI Recruiter account a couple of years ago.
10:09:19 >> From Destiny Quinn : @Liza you are able to purchase a’la’carte
10:10:08 >> From Destiny Quinn : If you have a Premium Account you can also purchase LI Talent Insights I believe
10:10:32 >> From Liza Bryant : Thanks!
10:10:42 >> From Tracey Dimof : Can anyone tell me ballpark cost for 1 license for LI insights?
10:10:42 >> From Kathy King to All panelists : Two levels of seats. Recruiter and Recuriter lite.
10:11:29 >> From Roopali Patil to All panelists : I have utilized the insight at my earlier company at J&J for hard to fill role to show the market data to HM
10:11:54 >> From Erin Marie Doucet to All panelists : is the company function similar but better than glassdoor?
10:13:02 >> From Destiny Quinn : In LI Recruiter you can use Advanced Search and target specific companies
10:15:36 >> From Roopali Patil to All panelists : Yes in advance feature of LI recruiter you can look for specific company and you can also exclude a company
10:15:55 >> From Alicia Branon to All panelists : @Tracey I think it was around $20-$25k when I got a demo & pricing.
10:16:21 >> From Alicia Branon : @Tracey I think it was around $20-$25k when I got a demo & pricing.
10:16:51 >> From John Shearer to All panelists : The LI TI reports are powerful when dropped into a PPT for leaders. It resonates.
10:17:09 >> From Theresa Hart to All panelists : With regards to Talent Insights, we recommend to our recruiters not to just print a report and hand it to a hiring manager as it can sometimes create more questions or false assumptions. It’s best to take a consultative approach and use it a as a conversation piece when advising the hiring manager.
10:18:41 >> From Jennifer Ellis : I’m answering “Yes” on the poll, but it’s really LI Recruiter Lite
10:18:53 >> From Peter Garneau : Would be great to have a future session just on Talent Insights!
10:19:40 >> From Kristina Droz to All panelists : I answered “No”, I have recruiter lite and it does not have all the same functions as the recruiter seat
10:19:47 >> From Michelle McKnight : Great idea, Peter!
10:20:00 >> From Katie Stevens : @Theresa – you are absolutely correct, you don’t want to send the information – rather use it to drive a conversation
10:22:31 >> From Tracey Dimof : Thanks Alicia!
10:24:06 >> From Erin Marie Doucet to All panelists : hugely helpful
10:24:10 >> From Jennifer Ellis : Roseanne–that was really helpful!
10:24:18 >> From Giuliana Anglin to All panelists : Thank YOU! That was very HELPFUL! on SEO for LinkedIn
10:24:37 >> From Catherine Hansen : @Roseanne, would you divide these keywords with a comma? Ex: “web security”, cloud, “front end software engineer” …?
10:25:28 >> From Erin Marie Doucet to All panelists : how are you showing your success around diversity candidates?
10:25:31 >> From Vira Garcia to All panelists : HOw can you tell from a LinkedIn profile whether or not they are a diverse candidate?
10:28:00 >> From Tina Thomason : @Sinda, great point, thanks for sharing
10:29:15 >> From Roseanne Donohue : separate like this: Cybersecurity | DDoS | WAF | Cloud
10:29:17 >> From Daniella McDonald : I was going to suggest what Sinda said – searching by specific colleges, groups associated with underrepresented candidates
10:29:56 >> From Roseanne Donohue : Sindha – can you share the names of those groups again in the chat?
10:31:25 >> From DJ Cabeen : Sinda – Have you had success in changing your company’s perspective and wording on the “diversity & inclusion” front to “under-represented minorities”?
10:31:36 >> From Alicia Branon : Yes, Sinda I’d love to get a list of the organizations & places you reach out.
10:32:42 >> From Catherine Hansen : @Sinda, you would put a “go mustangs” in the reach-out subject line? Just clarifying…..
10:33:12 >> From Catherine Hansen : 50% response rate is GREAT!
10:34:18 >> From Katie Stevens : Swoop is another tool that is much less expensive than LinkedIn – but pulls LI along with a lot of other sources
10:34:35 >> From Eric Jaquith : seekout.io is a great compliment to LI Recruiter
10:34:46 >> From Destiny Quinn : Hiretual is a great AI Sourcing tool that you are able to use in lieu of LI Recruiter – you can cross-reference names there as well
10:34:56 >> From Sandra Maldonado to All panelists : Sinda – What was the tag line you used when you have an interested candidate that recently started a new position?
10:35:29 >> From Kimberly Baxter to All panelists : I personally like to use my person LI that is free and run a Boolean in the search and connect with candidates with a meaningful note. 🙂 Free way of bypassing costs. If Boolean scares you there are a lot of tools that can auto create a Boolean.

10:39:05 >> From Sinda Allen : @Sandra Maldonado Oops you went to the wrong company you should be at…. Or I see you just moved positions, but…
10:40:28 >> From Tina Thomason : exactly Sean!
10:41:08 >> From Catherine Hansen : @Eric, totally agree this where things are going
10:41:19 >> From Erin Marie Doucet to All panelists : agreed
10:41:45 >> From Catherine Hansen : In many instances, I’m noticing non-mandatory questions (re gender, veteran status, and race) on job applications/postings
10:41:52 >> From Daniella McDonald : Or even when you first set up your profile in LinkedIn they could start collecting that information
10:41:58 >> From Vira Garcia to All panelists : Does anyone ever specify in their job posting that they are recruiting underrepresented minorities?
10:42:46 >> From Erin Marie Doucet to All panelists : agreede
10:43:48 >> From Steven Green : Some companies have policies against providing recommendations; lumping it in with limitations on who can provide employment references.
10:52:41 >> From Sinda Allen : @vira Garcia – I would not recommend that you can have a DEI statement under each job posting.
10:52:58 >> From Michelle McKnight : WOW! Good to know, Eric!!
