Many recruiters are using LinkedIn for both
graduate jobs and for, for second jobs.
If you're a graduate applying for a graduate
role with one of the large companies really assume
that all those graduate recruiters are looking at
your LinkedIn profile and we're going to be Googling you.
If you're a second jobber, a lot of recruiters now are using
that as a headhunting tool to really try and find the best fit,
the best candidate who has got the best skills and knowledge in order
to help them fill that, that role that they're looking to recruit for.
Many graduate recruiters now are actually using LinkedIn
as part of their ATS system, at Enterprise Rent-a-car.
Candidates can actually click on so their LinkedIn profile
can be used along side their online application form.
As a recruiter if I'm looking for an experienced hire,
there's a few things that really make that candidate stand out.
I'd like to see a nice photograph, current and updated.
A good personal statement of some of the skills
that you've developed in any of your previous roles.
I also, I think it's good to
have endorsements and recommendations from previous employers.
It shows a lot about you and your personal brand.
If you previous employer is happy to recommend you for future employment.
