LinkedIn For Success

Linked In is considered by many to be a B2B utility of the twenty first century; utilised by people to help develop sales leads as well as identifying new employees and suppliers, (where relevant) through recommendations and digital networking.

However, the value of Linked In is understated being that YOU can look at MY network once we are connected. If I am connected to industry leaders, senior executives in targeted organisations then this single connection could prove invaluable to your people in finding their next role.

Our team of outplacement experts share this opinion and as part of any outplacement support, will connect via Linked In with your people – giving them instant access to Connor’s network of 300 + companies and more importantly, the key decision makers.

This supports our “reverse headhunt” approach in that it gives your people the inside track on an organisation when finding their next role; a “friendly face” in a targeted organisation can help to identify the key points of what an organisation needs.

Through our recent partnership with MyWorkSearch, we are also able to help get that all important “inside track”, when researching an organisation. Let’s just say we are targeting Hewlett Packard as a potential employer; MyWorkSearch’s research tool will give your people the latest news, analyst comments, up to date financial information and contact details in addition to seeing who they might know in HP thanks to their Linked In network. It goes without saying that being able to stand out from the crowd and avoid the beauty parade when finding a new role is critical in today’s tough job market. This is something that our system has clearly shown by winning the Linked In European Business Awards 2010 for Most Innovative New Product.

Linked In is used by many as a passive tool i.e. to keep in touch with people or “keep track” of their network, when used properly – it can be the difference between finding a new role at the right price versus having to blend into the beauty parade.
