Case Study: Toyota Material Handling achieves 30x faster candidate sourcing and improved candidate engagement with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Toyota Material Handling Europe's Success with LinkedIn's AI Features

Toyota Material Handling Europe, a transportation company of 10,000+ employees, faced a tough recruiting landscape: being based in northern Europe limited local candidate supply, the team needed to deliver a consistent pan‑European candidate experience to protect Toyota’s employer brand, and there were notable engineering skill gaps and gender‑diversity shortfalls that Victoria Söderlind’s talent acquisition team had to address.

By adopting LinkedIn’s AI features—AI‑Assisted Search and AI‑Assisted Messages—the team cut search time from about 10–15 minutes to roughly 30 seconds, generated large targeted candidate lists quickly, and increased InMail response rates through personalized outreach. Automating routine tasks freed recruiters to spend more time connecting with candidates and hiring managers, improving hiring efficiency, expanding the talent pipeline, and reinforcing Toyota’s position as a top employer.
