The document summarizes free and paid tools on LinkedIn for hiring. It discusses using the free tools of creating a Company Page, posting Status Updates, starting a LinkedIn Group, posting on Pulse, and creating SlideShare presentations to build an employer brand. It then describes several paid tools for advertising jobs (Work With Us Ads), job posting (Job Slots), and sourcing candidates (Recruiter). Building an active employer brand with a mix of free and paid tools can help attract more qualified candidates and hire faster.
