Case Study: ConnectedGroup achieves rapid access to high-calibre global talent and 75% InMail response rate with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

ConnectedGroup - Customer Case Study

ConnectedGroup is a boutique executive search firm founded in Hong Kong in 1997 with offices in Shanghai and Singapore and a 65‑person team serving China and Southeast Asia. In a highly saturated market they struggled to quickly access and engage high‑calibre, often senior or international, candidates and lacked the background information and brand reach needed to compete for top talent.

By adopting LinkedIn Talent Solutions — including Recruiter, Jobs and a Career Page — ConnectedGroup gained faster, more targeted access to a trusted talent pool plus analytics and ongoing support. Results included a 75% InMail response rate, a 1,788% increase in Career Page followers (over 17,000 followers within months), 15–25% time saved on candidate screening, an immediate ROI and a significant rise in their Talent Brand Index, enabling faster placements and wins on high‑level searches.
