Case Study: OppenheimerFunds achieves 49% of hires (99 hires in 12 months) with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

How one asset management firm impacted 99 hires in 12 months with LinkedIn

OppenheimerFunds, a global asset manager founded in 1959 that manages over $219 billion, needed to scale hiring rapidly as it expanded into new functions and geographies — expecting annual hires to rise from about 200 to 300+ — while its talent acquisition team remained flat at eight recruiters. The team faced tight labor markets in hubs like NYC and Denver and had to fill a wide range of roles with limited resources.

The firm leveraged LinkedIn Talent Solutions — posting 100% of jobs on LinkedIn, using Sponsored Updates, Recruitment Ads, Lead Capture and a quarterly PACE events strategy — to build its employer brand and engage passive candidates. The approach drove 99 hires in 12 months (49% of total hires), with 54% of job views coming from passive talent, 26% of new hires already following the company, and nearly 50,000 followers on its Career Page, demonstrating strong recruitment ROI from LinkedIn.
