Episode notes
LinkedIn Is Recruiters' Primary Stage
- LinkedIn is a primary marketing and discovery tool because ~80% of recruiters use premium LinkedIn tools.
- Treat your profile like a casting call to present your best professional image.
Keep LinkedIn Different From Your Resume
- Do not paste your resume into your LinkedIn profile; keep them distinct.
- Use your resume as a concise marketing story and LinkedIn as a broader professional narrative.
Presence Beats Just Having Tools
- Not every industry or role is active on LinkedIn; many developers and line workers are less present.
- Recruiter success depends on being active and building relationships, not just having access to search tools.
