LinkedIn has changed - so what?
We ran a #RecruitClever webinar to review the changes to LinkedIn, reveal what we think you need to do to adapt to the “new world”, and to ensure that seasoned recruiters didn't disappear to a sanatorium because of the disruption to their recruitment process.
The web (and every meeting I am in with recruiters) is full of "how very dare LinkedIn make these changes?" “What a disaster… I want to boycott LinkedIn!”
Don’t burn your LinkedIn bridges, recruiters!

Some may say we can see less in some sections but this is a great opportunity to review your profile and refine it.
You need to make the right impression and persuade someone to connect or read on. Think about your headline – the first thing someone sees. “Elevator pitch” Think the first 220 characters of your summary.
Sticky??? Add media to your profile.
Fine tune your skills and endorsements to the top three you want to be known for.
Are you utilising your brand images and text to be recognised and trusted.
Much better visibility of your activity and recommendations. Personally think it’s much easier to see.

What have you done with your profile to attract, rather than simply complete the fields?
