I was helping out a buddy of mine recently who is entering the job market. After looking at his LinkedIn profile, I realized he was making some of the same mistakes that many smart executives make. They put up a profile and some basic job description and work history and leave it at that. By not using LinkedIn to its’ fullest potential, you are making it harder to find and hire you. In a job search, you want every available method of meeting people working IN your favor…not against you. An unmanaged LinkedIn profile is just that…working against you.
Special thanks to Steve Gilbert, Managing Director of Passivecast and long-time executive recruiter for some of this info. He’s been coaching me on the ins and outs of how recruiters find new candidates. Here’s what I shared with him. I hope it brings you some value as well.
