Case Study: MediaNews Group achieves faster, higher-quality hiring with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

MediaNews Group Transforms Talent Acquisition with Hiring Assistant

MediaNews Group, a book and periodical publishing company, faced the challenge of hiring high-quality candidates in a competitive market while keeping time-to-fill under 60 days. Limited compensation flexibility made it especially difficult to attract specialized and high-demand talent, and the team needed a way to stay efficient without sacrificing candidate experience. LinkedIn Talent Solutions helped MediaNews Group address these pressures with Hiring Assistant.

By implementing LinkedIn Talent Solutions’ Hiring Assistant, MediaNews Group automated sourcing, uncovered passive talent, improved candidate matching, and streamlined outreach. The result was about a 10% reduction in sourcing time, higher InMail acceptance and candidate response rates, and stronger pipelines for hard-to-fill roles, including one stagnant sales requisition that went from 0 to 15 applicants and 4 interviews.
