Case Study: Hilti achieves a consistent talent pipeline and 30% faster time-to-fill with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Building a Consistent Pipeline of Talent for Future Expansion with Linkedin

Hilti, a Liechtenstein-based provider of advanced construction tools with regional headquarters in Hong Kong and 3,500 staff across 14 Asian countries, was growing rapidly but struggled to source niche candidates who combined engineering backgrounds with strong sales skills. Rapid expansion in Asia, high demand for middle-to-senior roles, and limited cross-border talent visibility made it difficult and costly to build the internal pipeline and meet mobility needs.

Hilti adopted LinkedIn Recruiter, InMail and an enhanced Company Page to proactively identify and engage candidates, strengthen employer branding, and enable employee-driven sourcing. The platform helped build a strong regional talent pool, increased Company Page followers more than 22x, shortened time-to-fill by 30%, closed nearly 20% of openings via LinkedIn in one year, and improved hiring ROI.
