Interesting that LinkedIn posted revenue growth lower than expected. This despite a sizable increase in pricing earlier this year. I’m a dinosaur with a career that started with Sears in the early 70’s. In the late 70’s inflation was much worse that today so we rose prices on a weekly basis. As we reported financial reports, management was boasting about the great increase in sales, however transactions were actually down. We weren’t selling more, we we were selling less at higher prices. That eventually caught up and we all know how Sears is doing now. LinkedIn, like most online job boards, is not delivering on their promises of delivering qualified candidates. There will be a price to pay.
Clients, if you want qualified and motivated candidates, work with a professional recruit, whether it be Dunhill of another. You’ll get the results you desire.
