How does Recruiter Lite work with Waalaxy?

15/07/2024

Recruiter Lite is one of the Premium tools offered by LinkedIn, and is an entry-level recruitment tool, unlike Recruiter, which is the most powerful recruitment tool offered by LinkedIn.

Recruiter Lite’s mission is clear and simple: to help you find the best candidates.

But how? And how do you link Recruiter Lite with Waalaxy? 🚀

What is Recruiter Lite?

Recruiter Lite is one of two LinkedIn tools dedicated to recruitment.

Lite, because it’s LinkedIn’s entry-level tool, with fewer features, so it’s “lighter”, suitable for small and medium-sized structures with low recruitment needs.

It’s a separate interface from your individual LinkedIn account. It allows you to search your networks and Open To Work (open profiles).

You benefit from a 30-day trial period when you sign up for the first time.

You can then take out Recruiter Lite as a monthly or annual subscription.

What are the different sections of Recruiter Lite?

Recruiter Lite has a huge number of sections and subsections, allowing you to do a whole host of things. Let’s take a look! 💪

Projects in Recruiter Lite

It’s possible to create projects on Recruiter Lite. These are kinds of groups where you can place candidates according to a criterion, for example “Project: Search Js Developer No Code” or “Customer Service Manager”.

Overall, this is the place where you can manage your sourcing channels, with the aim of enabling you to track candidates for each project, easily.

You can search for a project using the “Search” tab.

You can also define how you wish to classify your projects:

Last viewed by me.
Creation date: from oldest to most recent.
Creation date: from newest to oldest.

You can filter your projects by status:

Lists by location where you’re looking for candidates: Paris, Lyon, Grenoble…
Lists by candidate stage: First contact, Interview n°1, Interview n°2, Waiting for contract…

At last, you understand the principle: anything is possible! 🌞

Select the sequence to contact your candidates

You can use any sequence you like, depending on your needs and preferences. Internally, our well-known and coveted HR, Violette, uses the Mercure sequence, which sends a connection request (without a connection note), a message in which she proposes her offer and expectations, and a follow-up message.

After several tests, we’ve seen that almost everyone in their network accepts someone who sends them a connection request, unless your sector of activity is very far removed from the person you’re contacting.

Once the connection request has been accepted, you can send a message that will land in the person’s inbox, and a follow-up message if they haven’t replied.

You can choose to send a connection request sequence (with a connection note) and only a follow-up message. Or, on the contrary, choose a sequence with more than 2 messages.

➡️ Choose the best sequence!
