Case Study: Bristol Myers Squibb expands sourcing strategy and saves time with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Bristol Myers Squibb uses talent pool data to build expanded sourcing strategy

Bristol Myers Squibb, a global biopharmaceutical company, needed to expand hiring pools when the shift to remote work made traditional sourcing approaches insufficient. Their HR Analytics team set out to find where qualified candidates existed beyond the company’s usual geographies but initially lacked the data to target those locations effectively.

By using LinkedIn Talent Insights for real‑time talent pool data, BMS identified pockets of talent in previously untapped areas, gained visibility into talent flows and competitor employers, and developed an expanded sourcing strategy with executive partners. The consolidated data and visualizations saved the team about 3–4 days per month in manual research and made stakeholder conversations more actionable, accelerating hiring efforts.
