The LinkedIn Problem
LinkedIn Recruiter is built for white-collar executive search — not for hiring 50 welders or 200 construction workers for your Gulf project. You're paying enterprise pricing for a tool that doesn't even have the candidates you need.
- Recruiter Lite: $170/month. Recruiter Corporate: $8,999/year
- Blue-collar workers rarely have LinkedIn profiles
- InMail messages have <25% response rates
- No trade-test verification or skills assessment
- Designed for white-collar hiring, not construction or oil & gas
