LinkedIn responsiveness insights highlight hirers' responsiveness on jobs, so that they can stand out from other companies, boost their brand image, and attract more talent. For companies who are actively engaging with candidates, these insights will highlight typical response or applicant review times.
Why are responsiveness insights beneficial?
- Stand out from other companies. Set your company apart from others that don’t respond to candidates as quickly or frequently. Most companies will not have these insights available on their jobs, which means it will serve as a differentiator for companies who do have it.
- Build trust and boost your brand image. Consistently maintain responsiveness and build trust with job seekers to boost your employer brand reputation. Job seekers view a company they applied to more favorably if they hear back.
- Attract more talent. Demonstrate your commitment to a positive candidate experience to attract more quality applicants.
-
Response time is calculated based on the median response time to all applications made to a company over the last 30 days and is refreshed weekly.
-
If a company receives less than 10 applications in the last 30 days, we extend this time frame to 90 days.
-
The following interactions count as a ‘Response’: InMail, rejection (auto, bulk, or manual), move candidate to any stage past ‘uncontacted’ in LinkedIn Recruiter.
-
If response data is insufficient, applicant review time will be displayed instead.
-
Applicant review time is calculated based on the median review time to all applications made to a company over the last 30 days and is refreshed weekly.
-
If a company receives less than 10 applications in the last 30 days, we extend this time frame to 90 days.
-
The following interactions count as a ‘Review’: = InMail, rejection (auto, bulk, or manual), move candidate to any stage past ‘uncontacted’ in LinkedIn Recruiter, application view, profile view, resume download.
A response or applicant review time will only be shown if:
-
The company reviews or responds to at least 50% of applications for all active jobs.
-
The company’s median review or response time is less than 21 days.
-
The job is posted via LinkedIn Jobs, external ATS integrated with Apply Connect, and LinkedIn Recruiter* (select jobs only).
*LinkedIn Recruiter jobs eligible for insights include:
- Manually posted jobs where customers choose to receive applicants on LinkedIn and be notified by email. Jobs that direct applicants to an external site to apply are not eligible.
- Job wrapping jobs that are posted from an external ATS integrated with Apply Connect.
Responsiveness insights are displayed on job search results and job description pages. Example insights you may see on jobs include:
-
Response time is typically 3 days
-
Applicant review time is typically 3 days
Enabling automated rejection messages to applicants who don’t meet your must-have qualifications is an efficient way to improve your response or review time without having to manually respond more. Just add screening questions to your job posts on LinkedIn, and auto-rejections will be enabled by default.
