Everyone in the recruiting game knows that LinkedIn Recruiter is the go-to tool for finding top talent. But let's be honest - it comes with a hefty price tag. So, how can you dip your toes in the water before committing to the investment? We've got you covered. Let's dive into the world of LinkedIn Recruiter and its free trial!

## Is LinkedIn Recruiter Really Free?

No, sorry folks! LinkedIn Recruiter is a premium offering, and you'll need a paid subscription to access its powerful features. Starting at about [$900 per user per month](https://noon.ai/blog/linkedin-recruiter-pricing-2023), the price varies based on factors like your location and the number of InMails you require. 

## Wait, So There's a LinkedIn Recruiter Free Trial?

Not exactly. LinkedIn Recruiter itself doesn't offer a free trial, but its little sibling, LinkedIn Recruiter Lite, does! But hold your horses - you must be eligible to snag this free trial. Keep in mind, LinkedIn Recruiter Lite comes with some limitations compared to the full version.

## How Long Can I Enjoy the LinkedIn Recruiter Lite Free Trial?

You'll have a glorious 30 days to test drive LinkedIn Recruiter Lite from the moment you activate your free trial. Afterward, your account will automatically convert to a paid subscription. So, mark your calendar to avoid surprise charges!

## How Do I Get My Hands on the LinkedIn Recruiter Lite Free Trial?

To embark on your free trial adventure, you'll need two things: Eligibility for the free trial and  credit card

### Eligibility Requirements:

You haven't used the free trial before (at least not with the same LinkedIn account)
Your account isn't already on a premium subscription.

### A Credit Card:

Though you won't be charged during the 30-day trial, you'll need to provide your credit card details to start. Don't forget to cancel on time to avoid being charged after the trial period!

## Are There Any Free Alternatives to LinkedIn Recruiter?

Absolutely! With LinkedIn profiles usually being public, several "talent search engines" can locate LinkedIn profiles across the platform, even those "out of network" for LinkedIn Recruiter Lite users. Check out this [alternative LinkedIn search engine ](https://noon.ai) for example.

So, there you have it - the ins and outs of the LinkedIn Recruiter Lite free trial and some alternative options. Now, go forth and conquer the recruiting world!
