LinkedIn Recruiter Lite is a professional tool from LinkedIn designed for small and medium-sized businesses, recruitment agencies and individual recruiters. It gives recruiters easy operation, guidance through the recruitment process and efficient talent search on one of the largest professional networks in the world.
For anyone who wants to build a career, the LinkedIn social network is an absolute must: it is where you collect contacts, expand your reach and follow news and trends. That is exactly why LinkedIn is such a valuable source and tool for recruiters filling vacancies. LinkedIn Recruiter Lite lets you search for candidates, manage them (filter as needed, tag, save and so on) and communicate with them.
