Case Study: Mercuri Urval achieves faster candidate sourcing and cost savings with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Right candidate, record time Mercuri Urval finds recruitment success with LinkedIn

Mercuri Urval, a Sweden‑founded consulting firm (1967) with more than 700 employees across 25 countries, provides recruitment, talent management and executive services. Its Recruitment & Selection practice faced a common challenge: finding the right candidates quickly and efficiently when job titles, industry terminology and candidate ambitions don’t always match search keywords.

To solve this, Mercuri Urval equipped recruiters with LinkedIn Recruiter seats, global and regional Company Pages, Ads and the CheckIn tool to capture candidate data at events. Using LinkedIn for market analysis helped recruiters identify the correct job titles and uncover qualified candidates, CheckIn removed paper admin and sped follow‑up, and the team scaled to 70–80 recruiter seats — delivering faster placements, higher-quality hires and measurable time and cost savings.
