Case Study: Sterksen achieves 40% faster hires and improved candidate quality with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

How Sterksen uses LinkedIn data to enhance talent searches and empowers clients to make the right moves based on market insight

Sterksen is an IT and technology recruitment specialist that prioritises quality over quantity. Their challenge was helping clients understand the real marketplace — visualising talent availability, setting realistic hiring expectations, and avoiding long, repeated search cycles that wasted time and resources.

Sterksen adopted LinkedIn Talent Insights alongside Recruiter, Job Slots and Career Page to bring data-driven market visualisations to clients and speed up sourcing decisions. The team viewed almost 1,000 reports (now 25 consultants using the tools), cut time-to-hire by 40%, improved hard-to-fill role success by 20+ basis points, and reduced initial search cycles from as long as 30 weeks to as little as six weeks, with new searches redefined in about one week.
