LinkedIn Taps SmartRecruiters as Inaugural Talent Solutions Preferred Partner

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 1, 2016) - SmartRecruiters, the Hiring Success Company™, today announced its inclusion as an inaugural member of the LinkedIn Talent Solutions Preferred Partner program. This new program recognizes SmartRecruiters as an advanced Talent Acquisition Platform that supports some of LinkedIn's most important products, including the next generation of their flagship product, LinkedIn Recruiter, and their all-new LinkedIn Referrals product.

Lee Womer, Director of Business Development for LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD), commented, "SmartRecruiters has done an impressive job of enabling deep integration into key LinkedIn Talent Solutions products. Their LinkedIn Recruiter integration is best in class and they were one of our first partners to enable LinkedIn Referrals. I'm therefore thrilled that they are an inaugural member of our Talent Solutions Preferred Partner program."

Brett Queener, President and COO of SmartRecruiters, commented, "LinkedIn Talent Solutions are widely used by our 600 enterprise customers. They depend on us to get maximum value from those products, whether LinkedIn Recruiter, LinkedIn job postings or the new LinkedIn Referrals. We are therefore thrilled to deepen our partnership with LinkedIn through the new Talent Solutions Preferred Partner program."

SmartRecruiters integrates with LinkedIn Talent Solutions in several key ways:

• LinkedIn Recruiter: See an applicant's LinkedIn profile directly from SmartRecruiters. Get the most up-to-date information on an applicant's current role, past experiences, education and skills. In LinkedIn Recruiter, you can see which candidates have already applied in SmartRecruiters and filter search results on those candidates via the new LinkedIn Recruiter Spotlights feature. Recruiter activity such as inMail history and candidate notes appear in SmartRecruiters and are connected to the appropriate candidate record so the information you need is always in the right place.
• LinkedIn Referrals: SmartRecruiters jobs automatically feed the LinkedIn Referrals portal, even as those referrals boost the candidate pipeline inside SmartRecruiters. This turns employees into recruiters and transforms employee referral programs.
• LinkedIn Job Posting: Jobs created in SmartRecruiters can be instantly posted to LinkedIn, saving hours of unnecessary work.
