[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][youtube][quote=Anonymous]As an executive recruiter, we LOVE LinkedIn. It’s the primary research tool. If you are not on LinkedIn, we’re not finding you. If you are and it’s a bad profile, you will get dinged if you’re in a high level executive role because frankly it looks like you’re not with the times. Only boomers avoid LinkedIn.[/quote]

Because you are lazy. You recruit by having an easy website to search on, instead of networking, having professional contacts, going to conferences and recruiting in person. You just want to search LI and send out boilerplate messages. Problem is if you can do it, soon enough an AI bot can do it too. [/quote]

And you’re a… well you know what I’m gonna say. Actually we do not recruit ON LinkedIn, we only send InMail if we absolutely cannot find contact info otherwise. We use it as a starting point to identify the people at the right level on the organizations that we want to target. Then we do more research and find phone and email information. Then we reach out usually via email to present the opportunity. We also have a database of thousands but I’m filling roles for my client so I do not spend alot of time developing a relationship unless they are a fit for my position or something we’d generally recruit for.

Oh and yes we get tons of referrals from our outreach. But sure you can call us lazy, just know we clearly won’t be calling you.  [/quote]
