PROFILER GRADER
“According to some studies, over 92% of recruiters use LinkedIn to find new
talent. LinkedIn has over 280 Million users. The companies you want to work
for are just waiting for you to have the right message. If you’ve heard all the
hype about LinkedIn but are thinking, “How come I’m not seeing these results
with my own career?” Chances are your profile simply doesn’t have the right
message.”
