How to respond to recruiters on LinkedIn | Bryan Creely posted on the topic | LinkedIn (2024)

I was recruited on LinkedIn for my last two jobs, which is why I believe wholeheartedly that this is excellent advice. So much so that I’ve shared this suggestion with many friends and family members in recent years.When Recruiters utilize tools like LinkedIn to find candidates (like a Product Manager for example) we can get thousands of results. Most of us don’t have time to weed through that many profiles. Which is why nearly every Recruiter I’ve worked with narrows their search down to candidates who are “more likely to respond”. We all know job hunting is hard enough. It’s worth it to make sure you show up for Recruiters who are searching for your skill set.

As someone mentioned already, it seems like another step to still get ghosted.What we need is a system that pins value to a jobseekers time and resume.I created a link page for job candidates to accept recruiter invites and adds incentive to complete applications. It’s really simple. There’s no charge to post jobs. Companies can put their job advertising budget toward sending invites that return completed applications.

Do you find unsolicited approaches from pushy recruiters on linkedin as annoying as I do?If I want to find a nice useful recruiter, I know how to find one. By myself, if and when I need to. (Not all are PUSHY recruiters.)No PUSHY recruiter who approaches me is ever going to get a cent from me or waste a moment of my time. Especially the ones who send me linkedin invitations despite the first line of my linkedin profile saying clearly in CAPS that I don’t accept linkedin invitations from recruiters. Because they didn’t have the manners to bother to find out who I am or what I do. And yet, they magically somehow know about how wonderful I am and really like me and are impressed.Can you imagine what it must be like to be a PUSHY recruiter and have to pretend all day to really like people who find you really annoying? Or the ones who - when you click that button that replies to their unsolicited approach message politely that you ‘aren’t interested’ - then pushily persist and ask you why you are not interested?Pushy recruiters, this is why: You can’t read, and you don’t respect what busy useful people tell you, and you put your need to earn money over respect for others and their time.Of course no PUSHY recruiter is actually going to read the above, they never bother to actually read anything, it’s for the enjoyment of any of the rest of you. You might think it’s a strange thing to write if I want to attract clients, but I like clients who have a sense of humour, who can relate to the annoyance of pushy recruiter approaches, clients who are interested in getting useful things done with other useful people, and thus, like me, don’t like having their time wasted.Unlike annoying time wasting pushy recruiters on linkedin firing blanks all day.

This is written to recruiters; however, for all the candidates who want recruiters to connect with them, take an inside look at this. How can you position yourself on LinkedIn so that you can be found for your next job opportunity? Is your LinkedIn profile complete and ready to receive invites?

I recently ran a LinkedIn poll asking fellow recruiters what % of their vacancies were won via cold calling… 👉🏼58% of recruiters said they won 0-25% of their roles from cold calling. Admittedly I messed up with this and should’ve given the option for Zero %. 🤦🏻♂️I’d guess that about half would’ve been zero and half 1-25%… 👉🏼16% of recruiters won 26-50% of their roles through cold calling! 👉🏼A further 16% won 51-75% of their roles from cold calls. 👉🏼Finally, 11% of recruiters won 76-100% of their roles via cold calling 👏🏼(187 votes) So, the point of this post - cold calling ain’t dead folks! Especially in this market, get on the blower and make sh*t happen! #recruitment #coldcalling

How to post all your jobs to LinkedIn for free (and handle the influx of applicants):I see founders and hiring managers announce they’re hiring in LinkedIn posts… but the roles themselves aren’t even posted on LinkedIn.When tons of amazing candidates are on the market, why don’t they post the role?- It not free. Tapping into your network directly is- They don’t have a good way to handle an influx of applicantsWhat if:- It was free to post a role on LinkedIn- It was frictionless to review and schedule top applicantsIt is now. Dover partners with LinkedIn to provide free job postings through our ATS. For any number of jobs. And the same tech that powers Dover’s sourcing engine helps prioritize applicants based on criteria match. One-click scheduling solves for the next steps piece.It’s totally free and there’s no catch. It takes a few minutes to setup so you can start hiring right away: dover[.]com/ats
