Written by Megan McBurnie | Fri, May 15, 2015

Employers are increasingly recognising that LinkedIn can be great for business and are encouraging employees to use and create accounts.

In the recruitment industry, it seems everyone who’s anyone has a profile. For those who don't have an account, get one now! LinkedIn is a great sourcing tool for candidates and clients and is an opportunity not to be missed.

Perhaps your workplace has a policy in place for using LinkedIn and what they expect from your profile; if so do you refer to this regularly when you’re making changes? Whether your employer has a solid, written policy or not; we’ve compiled a helpful guide to keep you on the straight and narrow when it comes to LinkedIn.

Download our free guide below for some top tips on:

  • Personalising your LinkedIn to make it more friendly to both clients and candidates
  • Making yourself more contactable
  • Finding relevant contacts and increasing the success of connecting
  • Publishing posts on LinkedIn Pulse
  • Making the most of LinkedIn Groups

As a recruiter, you may also want to refer your candidates to this whitepaper when they seek advice on their own profiles. LinkedIn is of course a great place for professionals like them to start building their 'brand' as an employee.
