Today, our main topic is how LinkedIn marketing and hiring have changed and how business owners should be taking advantage of it.
As LinkedIn continues to change and evolve, many business owners aren't aware of the changes, let alone have a Linkedin strategy. Colleen and her team help businesses create a strong presence and build a system, so they're practical and efficient on LinkedIn. Why is LinkedIn important? Colleen says, “At least 90% of employers/employees vet someone when they hear their name. Even if they type the name into google, usually, their linked-in profile is the top result. It is an opportunity for you to showcase who you are and who the company is and create credibility quickly. It is an effective way to create a strategic network for business.”
Some quick tips from the expert?
Think of it as a marketing and recruiting tool, not an online resume. However, if you're in transition, then the profile can steer more towards an online resume.
Look at your and your team's profiles to see how you and the company come off as potential employers.
