Case Study: Powell Industries achieves in-house recruiting success and reduced hiring costs with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

In-house recruiting produces results at Powell

Powell, a global engineering manufacturer operating across diverse sectors, faced a costly recruitment process: its small in-house team relied heavily on external staffing agencies to find highly specialized talent worldwide. Data also showed candidates sourced directly by the team stayed longer, so Powell needed a more cost-effective way to attract and retain the right people.

By moving recruiting fully in house and using LinkedIn Sponsored Content and a centralized LinkedIn Career Page, Powell built its employer brand, reached a broader pool of qualified candidates, and reduced duplication of effort across locations. The change drove a 233% increase in job-post click-through rates, more traffic and higher-quality applicants to the Career Page, and helped lower hiring costs and new-hire churn.
