Case Study: eBay cuts cost per hire by 50% with LinkedIn Talent Solutions (LinkedIn Recruiter)

How eBay Used LinkedIn Recruiter to Cut Cost Per Hire by Half

John Curran, Global Staffing Programs Manager at eBay, needed a better way to reach senior and passive talent who don’t post resumes or use traditional job boards. eBay’s challenge was sourcing high-quality candidates outside the usual channels while improving recruiter efficiency.

eBay equipped its senior recruiters with LinkedIn Recruiter, using targeted searches and InMails to engage passive candidates. The approach delivered about a 50% response rate on InMails and cut cost per hire by half compared with traditional job boards.
