Recruitment Anyone?

Linked In is the best thing since sliced bread. This powerful social networking site for professionals has made recruitment easy and free.

The best way to use this tool is make sure you are constantly adding your contacts. From this simple activity you can expand your network considerably. For example, I have 500 contacts, and my network 3 degrees away is over 2, 600,000 contacts.

Why do you want this? Well, imagine, being able to go on-line and type in Manager of HR, within your postal code range. Immediately all HR Managers within your geographic area pops up with their on-line resumes ready for viewing.

Not only can you use Linked In this way, but you can send a summary of the job you are looking for to all of your contacts, and they send you referrals at the drop of a hat.

I personally use Linked In to ask my contacts all sorts of work related questions. Like I need an OD strategy framework, or how to rank and rate Hi Potentials etc. Using Linked In has made my job way easier, and it will make yours easier too.
