Case Study: RS Components achieves £300K+ annual recruitment savings and faster, more efficient hiring with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Faster, more efficient recruitment at RS Components

RS Components is a global industrial distributor operating in 32 countries with more than 500,000 products and over one million customers, so speed and efficiency in hiring are critical. Faced with long lead times and high agency fees—one recruitment for a country manager was quoted at 12 weeks and £20,000—the European recruitment team trialed LinkedIn Recruiter and was able to shortlist and hire a candidate in two weeks.

RS Components rolled out LinkedIn Recruiter, Targeted Job Slots and an integration with Taleo, while training employees to act as LinkedIn brand ambassadors. Within months the approach was adopted across regions; LinkedIn now drives about half of external hires, delivers faster, more transparent candidate engagement, strengthens the employer brand, and saves the company more than £300K a year.
