Editor's Notes
- #4 Here’s where we’re headed today.We’ll start with a brief introduction to LinkedIn. From there, we’ll dive right in to tips and tricks. First, building a recruiting profile on LinkedIn (this is really all about building your personal brand as a recruiter: so we’ll focus on your profile) And second, researching before you search: everything from understanding what’s going on in your industry and talent market, to what’s important to your candidates, to who might have the skills you need to hire for. So we’ll talk about a slew of free LinkedIn products: the Follow Company feature, Signal, LinkedIn Today, Groups, Skills, and your connections.And then, we’ll shift to talking about using LinkedIn to find and engage candidates. At that point in the webcast, I’m going to do a live LinkedIn Recruiter demo. And to keep things authentic, I’d like to use one of your real-life open reqs. So think about the toughest req your team is working on right now, and go ahead and submit that in the chat box. Give as much detail as you possibly can, so—location, necessary skills and background, really anything essential—and later on in the webcast I’ll chose one of your reqs for a live search.So let’s get started with an intro to LinkedIn!
- #6 LinkedIn is the only place on the web where you can recruit both passive and active candidatesTraditional job boards provide access to only the 20% of professionals who are actively lookingLinkedIn provides access to both these, and the over 80% of passive candidates who are not actively searching on job boardsMany of these members are the people you’re interested in hiring. In fact, last year your company hired ### LinkedIn membersWe know this because we can track every time a member changes his or her profile to your company[NOTE: We should not overlook active candidates as a legitimate source of hire. Instead, focus on how LinkedIn helps you access BOTH these candidates and the tens of millions of passive candidates that can’t be reached anywhere else]
- #10 How can you boost your employer brand on LinkedIn?Meet Erica. She’s a passive candidate who is perfect for a role you are looking to hire. Engage her across LinkedIn with your employer brand. When you engage her, you are warming her up to the career opportunities you have at your company. You can engage her as she views the relevant jobs at your company, as she networks with your employees, when she is researching your company, and ultimately when she follows your company.
- #11Â *Not search
- #12Â *Not search
- #17 Your profile is your opportunity to build your personal brand and represent your company Here, you’ll see parts of the profile of Brendan Browne, LinkedIn’s Director of Global Talent Acquisition. A couple things to note: First, he has a picture! Make sure you have a picture—I can’t emphasize this enough. It makes a world of difference in making your profile more human, and you more accessible. Second, note Brendan’s headline: “Connecting Talent With Opportunity At Massive Scale.” That’s part of LinkedIn’s mission, and it’s also exactly what Brendan does every day. Be creative with your headline. It doesn’t have to be “Recruiter at Company XYZ.” Also, your headline shows up with your name in search results, so it’s an opportunity to make someone want to click on your profile. Third, you’ll see excerpts from a couple of Brendan’s recommendations. Ask for recommendations from your team, from hiring managers you’ve worked with, AND from people you’ve hired. You want to make sure you’re putting your best foot forward. Little changes, big difference.
- #18 How many of you are on LinkedIn Today? (show of hands) We launched this platform last year and it’s fast becoming the go-to source for news in your industry. If you go to LinkedIn.com/today, you can set up your industry preferences to follow the recruiting industry, as well as any industries in which you recruit. You can also see what individuals in your network are sharing, and which articles are getting the most viral attention. All in all, it’s a great way to stay up on the trends that are impacting your candidates and your company.
- #19Â Create a Company Page for your Organization, the best part is that it is FREE. The number 2 activity on LinkedIn is researching companies, so make sure when professionals research your company there is something to be found. The company overview page allows your organization to include a picture, a summary of your company, general information and a live website link directing them to your corporate website. You can connect your blog, so updates automatically feed to LinkedIn and people that are following your company receive updated status. Ensure all of your employees are linked to the company page!
- #20 Follow companies in your industry to get the inside track on trends in your labor market. You’ll get updates on those companies’ new hires, new job opportunities, promotions or job changes within the company, and departures from the company—and you’ll be able to see who’s hiring actively, who’s losing talent, and where their talent is coming from or going to. You should also actively monitor who’s following YOUR company—these people are obviously interested in knowing what’s going on there, and this is a prime group of candidates for your own talent pipeline.
- #21 Use your personal LinkedIn status update as you would a targeted, business edition of Twitter. You can even selectively synchronize the two from LinkedIn.com or from Twitter.com. Your status updates are a fantastic opportunity to share information virally. You can:- Advertise open jobs at your company and ask your network to pass on leads- Share tips on job seeking to position yourself as an expertPost exciting updates about your company and highlight what it’s like to work there(as you’ll see on the slide, here’s Brendan again, sharing news and updates about LinkedIn)We also recently rolled out the ability for COMPANIES to use status updates. These are a great way for you to directly engage the people who are following your company on LinkedIn. You can use the status update to share info on career opportunities, products, company milestones and successes… whatever you wish. All in all, a great way to build the relationship with those who have opted in to learn more about your company.
- #22 Finally, some additional resources:First, the InMap builder that I mentioned earlier in the webcast—create your own map of connectionsIf you’re interested in more information about LinkedIn Recruiting Solutions products, talent.linkedin.com is the place for youThe LinkedIn Learning Center has plenty of tips about all of LinkedIn’s productsAnd the Recruiting with LinkedIn blog and our Twitter account will keep you up to speed on everything that’s going on at LinkedIn
- #23Â Thank you so much for attending, and have a wonderful day!
