Following on from our recent TOP NINETEEN PROFESSIONAL LINKEDIN TIPS post we have put together 5 advanced tips to extend your knowledge and proficiency of LinkedIn.
Advanced People Search
Utilise LinkedIn's powerful people search to find specific users for positions. While Linkedln offers several paid upgrades that give you special tools for this, an advanced search can help you filter through a slew of postings and connections.
Save Searches
Now you have set up an advanced search and found a list of potential candidates, you can save your search for if you need to continue at a later date.
Ask for recommendations
Linkedln allows users to recommend each others work at specific companies and organisations. These recommendations add immediate credibility and depth to your experience.
Import your existing contacts to Linkedln
A simple trick for quickly adding multiple connections (clients - candidates) to your Linkedln account is to import in bulk, directly from your contacts. This method can save you a lot of time as you avioud having to add them individually.
Advanced Groups
Each group has a page with an open forum and job board, (perfect for advertising a specific job role for fast results). Also, group memberships appear on your public profile by default, which will help connections see what you do beyond your listed experience.
