As a follow up to yesterdays post - here are more recruiting tips that actually lead to progress and offers.
These primarily focus on LinkedIn - since 2018 they have become the undisputed leader in job search because of one thing: Passive Discovery.
You dont want to apply to 10 good roles with a resume, you want 10,000 recruiters potentially looking for you.
Here are the top 5 tips that significantly increase how your LinkedIn performs and while people that follow me or work with me often say their resume was much better, its almost unanimous when they say what they learned about LinkedIn was game changing:
A. A Good Linkedin with a bad resume is 10x better than the reverse. With Resumes you are only applying to roles you are pysically applying to, with a good Linkedin you could be considered for tens of thousands of roles based on your profile
B. Your profile performance is based on 5 elements: Your banner photo, your photo, headline (MOST IMPORTANT), About Me and Experience
C. The most important part of passive discovery is your network, the more people you are connected to that would help your job search, the better your profile does in passive search
D. Linkedin has a series of reward mechanics where it will prioritize profiles of active job seekers, ensure you spend a lot of time on your job search in Linkedin to get those rewards
E. CURATE YOUR NEWSFEED! Linkedin serves you content that you have engaged with before, even if you dont like it. If you constantly respond to "Dear Recruiters" ragebait, Linkedin will just give you more - which will not help your job search, instead find open roles and engage (like, comment, share) and Linkedin will do that instead
