Hi all,

I'm keen to get your thoughts, particularly from those of you who regularly use LinkedIn Recruiter.

Lately, I've noticed that even when I apply fairly precise search criteria, the results still include a considerable number of irrelevant profiles. One recurring issue is with experience filters: for instance, when I set a range of 2-5 years for junior-level roles, the search still surfaces candidates with e.g. 10+ years' experience. (I know that titles and seniority can be somewhat fluid. Many professionals with 3 years may already position themselves as mid-level, and those with 5 years as senior. That said, in this case the client has been quite clear about upper limit).

Has anyone else experienced similar challenges with LinkedIn Recruiter? If so, have you found any reliable ways to refine searches so that the results are genuinely aligned with the brief?

Any insights would be much appreciated.

Cheers.
