This case study is special for us. It is the first time we interviewed someone from the recruiting industry about how Linked Helper fits into a sourcing and hiring workflow. We spoke with Freddy Mayhall, Principal Talent Acquisition Strategist with more than twenty years of experience, who has relied on Linked Helper for almost a decade. His agency operates more than a dozen LinkedIn profiles at any given time and uses automation to contact highly targeted candidates at scale.
For Freddy, LinkedIn is not used for sales. It is the main channel for attracting and converting talent. Linked Helper sits at the center of that workflow, powering the initial outreach, the follow-up sequence, the data extraction, and the volume required to deliver consistent hires for more than one hundred clients globally.
“We use Linked Helper hands down, no question,” Freddy said. “It is a core part of our system.”
The Challenge
Recruiting lives or dies by reach. Before using automation, Freddy’s team struggled to contact enough qualified candidates quickly while still keeping workflows cost efficient.
Manual outreach meant:
• Very limited daily actions
• Slow speed to hire
• High reliance on expensive recruiting tools
• Difficulty reaching the right audience at scale
“With manual work, we simply could not get enough qualified people,” Freddy said. “Speed to hire depended entirely on how fast we could speak to candidates, and we were hitting a ceiling.”
The agency needed a system that would let them reach thousands of targeted candidates each week while staying within LinkedIn limits and keeping costs under control.
The Solution
Linked Helper became the backbone of the agency’s sourcing and outreach system. The team now runs five active Linked Helper seats across multiple machines, each with its own targeted workflows and campaign structures.
The goal was clear: use Linked Helper to reach more of the right people, faster, using the most cost-effective setup possible.
Freddy explained it simply:
“The reason we use Linked Helper is the cost. It is exceptionally affordable for the features it provides and the results we get.”
How They Use Linked Helper
1. Teaser Invite Outreach
This is the core of their recruiting engine.
Instead of paying for expensive InMails, the agency uses Linked Helper’s Invite to connect features with a 300-character teaser message.
The teaser includes:
• The most attractive parts of a job
• A clear call to action asking if the person wants the full detail
• A narrative tone taken from a customized job description
The question they ask in every teaser is simple: “Would you like to receive the full details?”
This single step generates the highest number of conversions and hires.
Freddy put it directly:
“Your software produces the largest number of hires in our workflow.”
2. High-Volume New Candidate Reach (Second and Third Degree Connections)
The agency uses Linked Helper to reach second and third degree connections at scale. Each campaign aims to reach one thousand targeted people as quickly as possible.
Their logic is mathematical and extremely effective:
If they reach one thousand qualified candidates, even a two percent conversion rate produces ten to fifteen qualified applicants.
One or two hires come almost every time.
3. Email Extraction for Follow-up Sequences
Freddy’s team uses Linked Helper’s email finder to extract emails from accepted connections. The accuracy rate they see is consistently around fifty percent.
“About half of the emails we extract work. That alone gives us one or two extra candidates per search. It is more than enough,” he said.
Because of this feature, they never pay for Snovio or other third-party enrichment tools.
4. First Degree Connection Searches
After outreach, the team uses Linked Helper to search through first degree connections and identify previously engaged or qualified candidates.
This keeps long-term pipelines warm and prevents missing strong prospects who connected in earlier hiring cycles.
5. Removing Pending Invitations
To avoid algorithm friction, the agency regularly uses Linked Helper’s removal tools to keep outstanding invitations below three thousand.
This keeps the overall system clean and reduces the chance of LinkedIn flagging account activity.
6. Endorsement and Engagement Features
To stay visible with existing clients and candidates, Freddy uses Linked Helper to endorse skills and engage with posts.
This is a subtle but effective branding method that reinforces trust and keeps the agency top of mind.
7. Affordable Scaling Across Profiles
Freddy runs multiple profiles across several machines. Many have ten thousand connections.
His own account has more than twenty six thousand.
Because Linked Helper lets the team run several instances without paying per-user fees, they can scale their recruiting presence for a fraction of the cost of typical recruiting tools.
Freddy explained the financial logic clearly:
“I look for tools that are effective and affordable. Linked Helper beats everything on cost and still delivers better results.”
Real Results
The agency’s adoption of Linked Helper transformed its recruiting process.
Reach increased 4 to 5 times
Once automation began, the number of candidates contacted per week multiplied immediately.
Faster speed to hire
More candidate reach means faster responses, faster screening, and faster conversions.
Immediate improvement in profitability
By reducing reliance on expensive tools and increasing candidate volume, the agency saw a direct improvement to margins.
Consistent pipeline for 120 clients
With Linked Helper powering outreach, they can deliver predictable candidate flow globally.
Cost efficiency
They run five Linked Helper seats at once and avoid tools that cost hundreds of dollars per month.
Sustainable high-volume sourcing
Large-scale outreach no longer requires more staff or more paid tools.
“We were able to contact four or five times more people while reducing our tool costs,” Freddy said. “It changed our speed to hire and our profitability.”
