Case Study: Cengage Learning achieves 30% faster time-to-hire and 50% lower cost-per-hire with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Cengage increases hiring efficiency, saves time and reduces cost-per-hire using LinkedIn

Cengage, a global education and technology company, faced fragmented recruiting systems and teams working in silos, with recruiters lacking real-time market data to challenge hiring criteria. This disconnection slowed hiring and limited visibility into talent pools and competition across markets.

By adopting LinkedIn Talent Solutions — including unlimited Recruiter licenses and Jobs, a LinkedIn Career Page, Pipeline Builder and Talent Insights — Cengage standardized its global process, enabled proactive candidate outreach and gave recruiters market-driven data to inform hiring decisions. In under nine months time-to-hire fell 30%, cost-per-hire dropped 50%, and hiring manager satisfaction remained at 98%.
