"Good article, Howard. Facebook has undoubtedly more users than LinkedIn currently, but I always like to have both accounts active. LinkedIn, after all, is aimed towards professionals, so still valuable in recruitment and networking."

Bill Schultz commented on Howard Ichiro Lim's blog post 'More candidates access Facebook than Linkedin. Go find em` on Facebook Mrs. or Mr. Recruiter!'"The difference between LinkedIn and Facebook IRT Careers is that is not Facebook's only purpose.

Jerry Albright commented on Howard Ichiro Lim's blog post 'More candidates access Facebook than Linkedin. Go find em` on Facebook Mrs. or Mr. Recruiter!'"Thanks for the toppic Howard. I love talking about this kind of stuff.

Chris Connolly commented on Howard Ichiro Lim's blog post 'More candidates access Facebook than Linkedin. Go find em` on Facebook Mrs. or Mr. Recruiter!'"Interesting comments Howard but I've found the exact opposite.

Howard Ichiro Lim commented on sheila Greco's blog post 'Using the right recruiting email to recruit'"@Chuck
Yes, I would have to agree with you. If you`re an Executive on the go and getting hundreds of emails in your account daily, would you really take the time to read a long winded email, no matter how superbly it was crafted and thought…"
Howard Ichiro Lim commented on sheila Greco's blog post 'Using the right recruiting email to recruit'"I prefer to get right to the point, in a direct but polite way.
