Case Study: Newell Brands achieves faster, smarter hiring with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Elevating hiring strategies through data-driven recruiting

Newell Brands needed a better way to assess the talent market and improve recruiting for hard-to-fill, niche roles — specifically for a position at their Norwalk, Connecticut branch. The talent team suspected the role would be difficult to fill but lacked the localized market data to set expectations and recommend the best approach.

Using LinkedIn Talent Insights, recruiters confirmed a limited local talent pool and projected long time-to-hire and relocation costs, so they built a case for internal mobility. The hiring manager trained and promoted an internal candidate within days, saving time and hiring resources, improving talent-pool targeting, and strengthening recruiters’ credibility and partnership with hiring managers while reducing reliance on external agencies.
