Job Hunting with LinkedIn – How many recruiters contact you?

I want you to have a LinkedIn profile to meet the needs of recruiters, and it’s probably not what you think.


 
Recruiters have a special app – Recruiter Corporate which means that they see LinkedIn profiles in a different way to users like you and me.
Did you know a recruiter:

  • Can’t see CVs attached to LinkedIn profiles? I know how to get yours seen.
  • Can’t search for unemployed LinkedIn members so they potentially look at all profiles – I can help you show that you are actively seeking work.
  • Can’t contact unlimited potential candidates for free – with a limit to 20 per month, should they use one of these with you? I can help you make it easy to be contacted.
  • Can’t send free messages to fellow group members. I can help you get messages sent to you.

I’ve learnt how to

  •  Increase your chance of getting found in a search
  • Have a profile that generate interest and persuades a recruiter to view your profile
  • Write a profile to encourage a recruiter to contact you
  • Make it easy for a recruiter to contact you

It’s fine to be eliminated because you are not a good match, because you don’t have enough experience, lack a specific qualification or are not based in the right location. But you don’t want to be eliminated because

o   You don’t appear when the recruiter sets their search criteria

o   When you are found you don’t attract their interest to look beyond the initial snapshot

o   When they do look at your profile you don’t sell your strengths for the role you seek

o   It’s not easy to contact you
