20% Increase in Revenue
Within just a few months, Insite achieved a 20% increase in revenue directly attributed to placements made through Hiring Assistant. Notably, half of these placements were with candidates previously unknown to the team, demonstrating the platform’s ability to uncover hidden talent.
Efficiency Gains
Recruiters were able to reach out to 6x more candidates and saw a 2.15x increase in InMail response rates. The average time to fill roles dropped by approximately 7%, accelerating client delivery and boosting satisfaction.
Competitive Advantage
By adopting Hiring Assistant ahead of the market, Insite secured a first-mover advantage, offering clients access to a broader, more diverse talent pool. The move reinforced their reputation as a forward-thinking partner with a competitive edge. Surfacing untapped candidates and moving faster than competitors allowed them to deliver tangible value.

Reaching Passive Talent Before the Competition
Operating in both the UK and US markets, Insite specializes in the accountancy and CPA sectors—industries where top talent is in high demand and often not actively seeking new roles. Even with advanced tools like LinkedIn Recruiter Professional Services, recruiters found themselves competing for the same candidates, many inundated with outreach from multiple agencies. The challenge was to reach passive, high-quality candidates before competitors while preserving the personalized, relationship-driven approach that defines their brand. Amidst the market noise, maintaining a strong, recognizable brand has become essential to ensure Insite remains top of mind when these in-demand candidates are ready to move.
How LinkedIn helped
Implementing Hiring Assistant for Sourcing Speed
Recognizing AI’s potential to transform recruitment, Insite adopted Hiring Assistant early to surface untapped candidates in their network and identify high-quality talent faster. The added sourcing speed and higher InMail acceptance rates let their recruiters move faster and reduce time-to-hire. With more bandwidth, they were able to manage more roles simultaneously and reinvest time into other high-impact activities—all the while boosting revenue without sacrificing candidate quality.
Key features of Hiring Assistant that drove success included:
- AI-Powered Candidate Matching: Hiring Assistant’s search capabilities surfaced high-demand candidates often missed due to recruiter error, incomplete profiles, or manual filtering limitations. By evaluating thousands of signals across LinkedIn’s network—like member behavior and profile activity—it surfaced qualified talent before competitors, expanding the talent pool and accelerating engagement.
- Scalable Personalized Outreach: AI-generated messaging enabled recruiters to engage more candidates with tailored communications, more than doubling response rates. This scalability also gave recruiters back time to focus on communication, relationship-building, and delivering more value to clients.
- Seamless Integration: Hiring Assistant fit effortlessly into their existing tech stack, allowing recruiters to layer AI-driven insights onto live searches, job posts, and projects without disrupting workflows. Its flexibility allowed it to adapt to existing processes, easing company-wide adoption.
- Unmatched Talent Access: Hiring Assistant uniquely leverages LinkedIn’s vast and trusted professional network, giving recruiters access to both active and passive candidates that no other platform can match. This reach and depth are key differentiators for Insite, enabling discovery of talent unavailable elsewhere.
