With the UK recruitment sector showing signs of recovery there’s never been a better time to mingle. Sharing thoughts with peers is both invigorating and educational, all the while adding important values to your personal brand.
Many recruiters view LinkedIn as an enormous job board or talent pool, which, arguably, it is. However, to me this belies the premise on which the social media platform was designed in the first place – to help and encourage professionals to make tangible, valuable, contacts; building important business networks along the way.
In our evolving industry we should each be looking at ways to extend not just what but who we know – an age-old adage that should particularly resonate.
For recruiters LinkedIn should be viewed as more than a talent-attraction channel. It’s a chance to accentuate both the personal and company brand. In each of these groups you have the opportunity to do just that.
