LINKEDIN: BASIC TRAINING FOR RECRUITING
Guest Speaker:
James Durbin, Headhunter specializing in Social Media
and Social Business Strategies.
Class Description: Social Media has gone mainstream
in the recruiting world. Some companies are filling 25% of their
reqs (and at least one is filling 60% of their reqs) using LinkedIn
as a platform. Since LinkedIn is the top business social network
in the world, hosting more than 110million profiles (including
executives from every Fortune 500 company), it is not surprising
that this trend is expected to continue. If you are not taking
advantage of the world’s largest business network, it
is time to jump into the deep-end.
Jim Durbin, the Social Media Headhunter, has put together a
LinkedIn class intended for the novice and the intermediate
user with practical step-by-step instruction, drawn from his
experience training Human Resource departments within the Fortune
500. The hands-on instruction will include best strategies for
quickly getting results from LinkedIn to fill your needs.
Learn what your profile must contain, what to look for and how
recruiters are improving their time-to-fill. Jim will demonstrate
a point by point walk through, applicable to corporate and third
party recruiters.
As a bonus…Experts Connection will provide a
one-of-a- kind LinkedIn Training Quiz to test your skill
level before you attend the webinar. The quiz will be sent to
you a few days prior to the presentation and will be reviewed
during the presentation. The quiz will not only prepare
you for the training, it will also be useful after the presentation
as a hiring and screening tool.
In this 90 minute teleseminar you will learn:
- How to build your network that improves your time to fill.
- Connection strategies for novice recruiters.
- How to write a profile that gets the right candidates to
ask YOU for a connection.
- Three ways to craft messages that generate response.
- Searching skills both inside and outside the LinkedIn platform.
- How to find candidates outside your visible network connections.
