Make sure it’s easy to download or share so that people in your network can easily pass it along to someone they think could be a great fit.Īssuming you have a direct hand in hiring, be sure to include your contact information in the description of your featured work if you’re not the point of contact, include your colleague’s contact information. If you’re hiring for a single position or you have a high-priority job opening, such as an executive or leadership role, go ahead and feature the document that contains the job description as its own featured work.

Similarly, the LinkedIn #Hiring feature allows any LinkedIn member to add a purple profile picture frame, letting their networks know that their companies are seeking candidates for an open position (or positions). This frame indicates to recruiters and hiring managers that they’re open to new positions. If you read my article on job searching, you already know that LinkedIn’s #OpenToWork feature allows job searchers to add a green frame to their profile pictures. Here are my top three recommendations to help you put on your “recruiter hat” and build your team through LinkedIn. There are plenty of free ways to promote your job openings and find qualified candidates on LinkedIn. If you’re not ready to pull the trigger on paid LinkedIn recruiter tools, but you want to use LinkedIn to attract the best candidates and find the best possible new hires, today’s tips are for you. For example, some are the CEOs who are only involved in executive hiring or they are part of the marketing team responsible for hiring summer interns.

Many of my clients have a recruiting element to their roles, but wouldn’t necessarily consider themselves recruiters. LinkedIn even has a recruiting-specific subscription, Recruiter Lite, and a number of other paid tools for hiring. Are you trying to grow your team with the right people? It’s no secret that LinkedIn is a fantastic place to recruit job applicants.
