Case Study: Nestlé achieves dramatically faster hiring and a 111% increase in diversity with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Nestlé - Customer Case Study

Nestlé, the world’s largest food company (founded 1866, ~339,000 employees, 2,000+ brands across 197 countries), is growing about 4.2% annually and faces roughly 30,000 job openings a year. Finding the right, diverse talent quickly for highly specific local roles became increasingly difficult, pushing the company to rethink recruitment from reactive hiring to a more strategic model.

Nestlé implemented proactive recruitment—aligning sourcing with forecasted business needs through data analysis, closer engagement with hiring managers, internal collaboration, and early-stage pipelines that prioritize cultural fit. In Nestlé Purina USA this approach cut time-to-fill dramatically (over nine times more zero-days-to-fill; 68% of TM roles at zero-days-to-fill), increased diversity (111% uplift; female hires +30%), and enabled filling 38% more roles while strengthening the employer brand.
