Last week we had the pleasure of learning about a new product release from the team at LinkedIn and we want to share that conversation with the community…

Hi You All,

I'm tuning into "Recruiter Central" here to say that I would appreciate it if some of you would take a minute to read a new AvidCareerist.com post. I wrote it in response to a reader's question and would love it if you would add your own insights in the comments section.

I'm pretty excited about social media's potential to open a constructive dialog between recruiters and the recruited!

LinkedIn "People Also Viewed"

Most of us use LinkedIn to network professionally, but a colleague recently told me people were using it to check women out.  Try looking at my LinkedIn profile, www.linkedin.com/in/bertshima.  Look on the right side under “People Also Viewed” and you’ll see a diverse…

When organizations talk about implementing social media into their recruitment marketing strategies, most often times they are not really sure to start.  In many cases, they begin to talk to their existing recruitment technology providers to see how to start.  The thing with this is that in many cases recruitment technology does not provide any more value to the free social media tools that marketing…

For me, LinkedIn Endorsements have been overly used…

Earlier this week I posted a few profile-enhancing tips on a LinkedIn discussion group frequented by active job seekers. One of the things I constantly notice when helping newcomers get up to speed on the essential functionality of LinkedIn is how poor they tend to be at populating their profiles with meaty, search-friendly information.

This is especially noticeable in the job seeker community. Rather than placing career relevant and recruiter magnet content, they fill their headline,…

Recently, LinkedIn dazzled us with a new tool that they are hoping will create a positive buzz and generate a new stream of revenue to their brand.  This new tool is “profile viewed”.  If you did not receive an email regarding your ranking, then you are probably not a (Recruiter) serial LinkedIn user.
