Case Study: Nestlé achieves faster hiring and proactive talent pipelines with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Proactive recruitment drives Nestlé’s business forward

Nestlé, a global consumer goods company led in resourcing by Ben Clark, faced mounting difficulty hiring the right-skilled and culturally aligned candidates in tight local markets—particularly at Nestlé Purina USA and in Malaysia & Singapore—where changing customer preferences and market volatility made sourcing top talent harder than ever.

To address this, Nestlé shifted to proactive recruiting using LinkedIn Recruiter to build talent pipelines, support targeted research and outreach, and drive director-level referrals, backed by organization-wide LinkedIn training. The initiative streamlined sourcing and engagement and delivered measurable impact: a 136% decrease in days-to-fill, 38% growth in roles filled, and 0% first-year turnover.
