Case Study: Dropbox expands its talent pool and makes a hire it otherwise wouldn’t have found with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

How Dropbox goes beyond traditional talent sourcing

Dropbox, a 1,000–5,000 employee SaaS company that simplifies the way people work together, needed to expand its inbound candidate funnel beyond active job-seekers to fill an open sales role in Q4. Traditional sourcing wasn’t producing enough volume, and the team wanted to reach high-performing, happily employed candidates who might be open to the right opportunity.

By using LinkedIn’s new features (Apply Starters and Open Candidates) Dropbox was able to surface and engage passive “open” talent, leading to the hire of Veronica Velasco—who likely wouldn’t have completed the formal application without outreach. The hire onboarded smoothly and is performing well, while recruiters report a wider, more efficient funnel and a stronger candidate experience that helps protect and grow Dropbox’s collaborative culture.
