Your profile is your first opportunity to build your personal brand as a
recruiting leader:
• Your picture is a must; it makes your profile more human, and you
more accessible.
• Get creative with your headline: tell people what you stand for. Your
headline will show up in search results, so make people want to click
on it.
• Feature recommendations: ask for recommendations from your team,
hiring managers, and people you’ve hired.
• Bring it to life: add rich media content, upload your presentations on
Slideshare and add a link to your company’s website, LinkedIn
Company/Career page, company blog.
• Give your pitch: Your summary should show what it’s like to work at
your company. Think BRAND, not CV.
LinkedIn is a powerful platform for recruiters to build connections with
top talent around the world. Follow these eight key tips to optimise your
presence on LinkedIn and make the most of the world’s largest
