Tender description

The University of Edinburgh requires access to a recruitment platform capable of reaching a broad, international audience across all job families, including research, teaching and professional services roles. Lot 1: The University of Edinburgh requires access to a recruitment platform capable of reaching a broad, international audience across all job families, including research, teaching and professional services roles. LinkedIn is uniquely positioned to provide this service. With over 1 billion members globally, it is the only platform that combines large-scale job board advertising with direct access to an extensive professional network, enabling the University to engage with both active job seekers and passive candidates in specific sectors, disciplines and areas of expertise. No equivalent supplier offers the same breadth of reach, professional data, sector-specific targeting and direct candidate engagement through a single platform. LinkedIn is therefore the only supplier able to meet the University’s requirement for targeted, international recruitment advertising and automated job posting at the required scale
