What 52 Arbolus experts think of LinkedIn Recruiter

NPS scores are overwhelmingly positive, with multiple scores of 8–10 and only sporadic detractors, highlighting strong promoter sentiment among talent acquisition leaders. The majority of experts indicate high stickiness, having implemented the tool for over a year, and cite its criticality in active sourcing workflows. Renewal intent is strong but not universal, as rising costs and alternative AI sourcing solutions are under watch. Key feedback themes include unmatched candidate reach, advanced filtering, and high platform cost, with emerging signals of price sensitivity and moderately declining ROI.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
