A feature I believe would be valuable on LinkedIn Recruiter is the ability to see when a candidate ORIGINALLY turned on their "Open to Work". Sometimes people just forget to turn this off, or don't even realize it's still on after YEARS! It would help recruiters understand if you really are actively looking NOW. #linkedinrecruiter #opentowork

I’ve seen many examples recently of the impression you leave on LinkedIn matters. It really does. Why? In a previous role I interviewed 2 candidates, they were both really strong technically. One explained their approach to work very well and the other really didn’t. Guess which one I hired? Soft skills matter. I’ve taken this message on board over the years, it was something I struggled with. My stress levels are much lower now as I get better responses from others. #opentowork #contracting

I could use some help on my LinkedIn profile. What I am specifically asking for are recommendations. I am really saddened by the fact that I only have 3 there. I know I have brought more value than just the 3 recommendations I have there. Please, if you know me and my work ethic and the value I bring, help me out with this section of my LinkedIn profile. I thank you all in advance for doing this for me. #recommendations #jobseeker #jobhunting #linkedinprofile #opentowork #recruiters #hireme #letsconnect #remote #hybrid #jobquesters

#opentowork   You decide to put your profile open to work, what happens next?   Every rec2rec and business from here to the moon comes out of the woodwork, like   “heyyyyy 👋 I’ve got a perfect role for you!”   Yep, I’m part of that group. But where does putting your open to work status go wrong?   ❌ Putting #opentowork means that a business no longer has to be competitive because they know you are looking?   ❌ Do you book in 15 interviews and speak to every company or rec2rec that reaches out?   The biggest mistake I see with #opentowork is booking interviews with every business, as soon as they reach out.   Here’s my advice:   👉 Take a step back and note down every business who has messaged   👉 Research who the businesses are   👉 Have a list of non-negotiables, is the location ok long term, is the seniority of the job right, hybrid/flexi working?   👉 Have a look at reviews of the business, are they a known brand or are they a start-up (both are great choices but does it align with what you want from your next role) 👉 Is there an underlying theme on the reviews   Arrange an interview with a handful to begin with, after a few conversations you will have a gut feeling of what sort of business you’d like to work with.   ❌ Don’t burn yourself out with 15 interviews! If you can’t remember the location or the details of each job, you have booked in too many interviews. ❗ p.s. putting yourself as open to work doesn’t make you look desperate, that’s just an excuse by poor recruiters and managers you wouldn’t want to work with anyway. #r2r #rec2rec #opentowork

LinkedIn Tip #4: #OpenToWork LinkedIn now offers an increased ability to be more public about your job search. This new feature is called #OpenToWork. It’s a very effective way to let your contacts know you are searching for a job. Enabling the #OpenToWork feature lets recruiters know at a glance that you are available for hire, and results in them contacting you for opportunities when they come across your profile.

Adding “open to work” on your LinkedIn profile doesn’t make you look desperate. Period. In fact, when recruiters source candidates for open roles using LinkedIn Recruiter, we often target the ones that have this feature turned on first. “Open to work” = more jobs in your inbox. NOT desperation. #opentowork #linkedintips #linkedinadvice #linkedinoptimization #jobseekers #jobsearchtips
