LinkedIn 2013 Global Recruiting Trends 12
Our favorite tips: Using LinkedIn to source and attract
high-quality candidates
1 It all starts with your profile.
Your profile is your first opportunity to build your personal brand as a recruiting
professional. Add a picture, get creative with your headline, and feature
recommendations. Your profile summary should articulate why you’re a trusted
partner. Think BRAND, not resume.
2 Engage your followers.
Make sure your firm has a Company Page on LinkedIn, where members can follow
your organization. Use Targeted Status Updates to share brand messaging,
company news and open positions with your follower base – you can target by
industry, function, geography and more.
3 Get involved in LinkedIn Groups.
There are more than 2M Groups on LinkedIn. Join recruiting groups or those
relevant to your key talent pools to keep your finger on the pulse. Participate in a
few to brand yourself as an expert. And consider creating a group about your firm
or industry to drive your company brand, build pipeline, and even source.

LinkedIn 2013 Global Recruiting Trends 17
Our favorite tips: Engaging passive candidates
1 Immerse yourself in the candidate’s world.
Get smarter on the industry, using sources like LinkedIn Today to keep up with
hot relevant topics. Research your prospect’s current role and leverage mutual
connections when possible.
2 Build relationships, avoid being transactional.
Send fewer, more targeted InMails. Compliment profiles sincerely, and ‘dangle
a carrot’ to lure them in rather than blasting out lengthy job descriptions. Ask to
connect and continue the dialogue.
3 Listen and adapt.
Invite candidates to talk about themselves, uncover their needs/motivations,
and keep detailed notes on their profiles or within LinkedIn Recruiter at every
touchpoint. Reflect on their input as you explain why your client’s opportunity is
right for them.

Our favorite tips: Content marketing for recruitment firms
1 Plan.
Your objective: educate and convert a target audience (for example, your
customers or candidates) through high-quality content.
2 Target.
Identify a specific target market for your content. Ask yourself: What does that
person care about? What does he or she want to learn?
4 Distribute.
Share your content through channels including social media and your company’s
website and blog. On LinkedIn, distribute your content via company status
updates, your team’s personal status updates, targeted advertising, and LinkedIn
Groups.
For more content marketing tips and best practices, visit: http://lnkd.in/ContentWebcast.
3 Create.
The best content starts with a strong title that piques interest (e.g., “7 Common
Mistakes Made in the Hiring Process”) and delivers tangible tips or takeaways.

  • 12. LinkedIn 2013 Global Recruiting Trends 12 Our favorite tips: Using LinkedIn to source and attract high-quality candidates 1 It all starts with your profile. Your profile is your first opportunity to build your personal brand as a recruiting professional. Add a picture, get creative with your headline, and feature recommendations. Your profile summary should articulate why you’re a trusted partner. Think BRAND, not resume. 2 Engage your followers. Make sure your firm has a Company Page on LinkedIn, where members can follow your organization. Use Targeted Status Updates to share brand messaging, company news and open positions with your follower base – you can target by industry, function, geography and more. 3 Get involved in LinkedIn Groups. There are more than 2M Groups on LinkedIn. Join recruiting groups or those relevant to your key talent pools to keep your finger on the pulse. Participate in a few to brand yourself as an expert. And consider creating a group about your firm or industry to drive your company brand, build pipeline, and even source. For more tips and best practices, visit: talent.linkedin.com.

  • 17. LinkedIn 2013 Global Recruiting Trends 17 Our favorite tips: Engaging passive candidates 1 Immerse yourself in the candidate’s world. Get smarter on the industry, using sources like LinkedIn Today to keep up with hot relevant topics. Research your prospect’s current role and leverage mutual connections when possible. 2 Build relationships, avoid being transactional. Send fewer, more targeted InMails. Compliment profiles sincerely, and ‘dangle a carrot’ to lure them in rather than blasting out lengthy job descriptions. Ask to connect and continue the dialogue. 3 Listen and adapt. Invite candidates to talk about themselves, uncover their needs/motivations, and keep detailed notes on their profiles or within LinkedIn Recruiter at every touchpoint. Reflect on their input as you explain why your client’s opportunity is right for them. For more passive talent tips and best practices, visit: talent.linkedin.com/passivetalent.
