LinkedIn, the best professional networking site, has almost
evolved into a recruiting tool that recruiters can’t avoid anymore. To make the
most out of LinkedIn, try the following:
- Accept all invites – Generally people would argue that quality is important than quantity but as a recruiter the more the size of your network the better it is.
- Invite everyone to connect – family, friends, colleagues, clients, hiring managers, candidates, etc.
- Expanding your network involves your time and commitment. Ensure that you add 10 people on a daily basis.
- Always personalize your invitation. Don’t use the default one liner.
- Join relevant geographical groups if you are working on an out of town role. Start connecting with contacts that live in that target city.
- Add your LinkedIn profile URL to your email signature line and in social media sites.
