Case Study: Currency Capital achieves 26 quality hires in 12 months with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

One Tiny Recruitment Team Hired 26 Salespeople in 12 Months

Currency Capital is a rapidly growing West Coast equipment financing company that needed to scale its sales organization quickly without sacrificing quality. With just two recruiters and an administrative intern, the tiny talent team was charged with doubling the sales force (from 45 toward 90) within a year while building a pipeline of high-caliber candidates.

They turned to LinkedIn Recruiter and LinkedIn Jobs to source and engage targeted talent using the “ideal candidate” and “open candidate” filters, sponsored job posts, and personalized InMails (aiming for 30 high-quality messages per day). The approach delivered 26 quality hires in 12 months, placed the team in the top 10% of financial services companies on LinkedIn for efficiency, and increased InMail response rates by 35%, with LinkedIn applicants proving higher quality than other job boards.
