In the recruitment process, it is important to choose the correct tools as it can make your hiring process more efficient. In this blog, we will dive deep into the features of two hiring solutions that is popular in the talent acquisition space:

LinkedIn Recruiter Lite Vs Talent Connects ATS

LinkedIn Recruiter Lite can be considered as the light weight version of the LinkedIn Recruiter that allows recruiters to leverage LinkedIn to find and reach out to the potential candidates. Recruiter Lite is designed for companies that have high budget but do not require advanced features or have limited hiring requirements.

On the brighter side, Talent Connects’ ATS is LinkedIn-integrated and AI-powered platform that helps companies to streamline their hiring process. It provides premium features of both ATS and LinkedIn in a single platform at a very reasonable cost.

This blog mainly elaborates on how Talent Connects’ ATS takes the lead over Recruiter Lite:

Comparing the costs, Talent Connects ATS has the upper hand as it offers more value for money. The price of the starter plan of Talent Connects ATS that allows recruiters to publish jobs in the job board and LinkedIn is quoted at $39/month. There is no restriction in the number of users that can navigate the dashboard. Recruiters will have access to all the advanced features such as AI insights, LinkedIn integration, candidate management and more without any limitations. In such an affordable price, Talent Connects provides recruiters with a complete hiring system.

2. LinkedIn Integration with ATS:

Talent Connects ATS not only integrates itself with LinkedIn to post jobs and source candidates from it, it also allows recruiters to track candidate details, their application history and manage communications. The entire recruitment process, from job posting to communication and hiring can be managed through a single platform. It helps recruiters achieve quality hires while also reducing time-to-hire.

In contrast, Recruiter Lite provides the option to post jobs on LinkedIn but do not offer ATS features that help recruiters to manage candidates. They will need to maintain a separate spreadsheet or files and switch between them to keep track of each candidate.

3. AI-Powered Features:

The AI-powered features can be considered as one of the key advantages of Talent Connects’ ATS. It leverages AI to create well-crafted job descriptions, provide scores and keyword matches by comparing the job description and CVs of the candidates. It also provides actionable recommendations about the next step the recruiter can take for the candidate. This feature helps recruiter save a lot of time as it reduces manual work but also provides accurate information to make best hiring decisions.

Recruiter Lite provides basic AI features, limiting the ability of the recruiters to take data-driven decisions.

4. Customization Options:

The hiring process may vary from one organization to another. Understanding this, Talent Connects’ ATS is built in such a way that recruiters can customize the system as per the need and requirement of their company. Recruiters can customize many aspects of the hiring process such as hiring pipelines and personalized templates for email communication, making the recruitment process more flexible.

Recruiter Lite does not have any customization options, limiting its flexibility.

5. Team Collaboration & Communication:

The hiring process sometimes involves multiple recruiters, hiring managers or even multiple departments. Talent Connects’ ATS recognizes the need of collaboration among team members. Hence, the dashboard can be accessed by multiple users. This allows team members to stay updated, reducing any communication gaps and make informed decisions as a team. Each user can schedule interviews with candidates, provide feedback regarding the candidates and ensure every member of the team is on the same page about the candidates’ progress.

In comparison, Recruiter Lite is not built for team usage but for individual use as it lacks the features required for team collaboration.

6. Integration with Other Platforms:

Apart from LinkedIn, Talent Connects’ ATS can be integrated with a wide range of platforms such as Slack, Outlook, G-Suite (Google Workspace) and multiple job boards. This type of integration helps recruiters to make their hiring process easier and more efficient.

Recruiter Lite does not offer any type of integrations, providing recruiters with limited features of LinkedIn. This increases the manual work to be done, decreasing the efficiency in tasks.

7. Reports:

Talent Connects’ ATS provides a powerful reporting feature, helping recruiters to make more informed and data-driven decisions. Reports on the candidate sources, their education, experience and hiring stages can be easily generated providing recruiters with a clear view for a particular job role.

Recruiter Lite provides InMail report and Job Analytics report. The absence of advanced reporting system requires recruiters to perform more manual tasks related to candidate tracking to evaluate their hiring performance.
