CHAPTER 11

Premium vs Sales Navigator

Everything in this book so far has been written for the FREE version of LinkedIn®. However, several paid options to choose from on LinkedIn®.

It helps to understand the breadth of the LinkedIn® offering, and each is targeted at users in different situations:

Recruiters:

The LinkedIn® Recruiter Lite and Recruiter Corporate are essential tools for recruiters.

Job Seekers:

The Job Seeker licence allows you to be seen as a featured applicant, compare yourself to other candidates, and send messages directly to recruiters.

Professionals:

The three levels for general use are (1) Free, (2) Premium, and (3) Sales Navigator.

The major difference here is how deeply and with how much detail you can see your extended network, your ability to reach a wider network, and the search functions that give greater granularity than the free version.
