Get the most out of your InMail. Learn more about the LinkedIn InMail 7-day Response Guarantee You probably already know that your unused LinkedIn InMail credits rollover from month-to-month like cellphone minutes (though they do max-out at 3x your monthly allotment). But did you also know that they only count if the candidate responds? It’s called the InMail 7-day Response Guarantee and it works like this: Let’s say you use the Advanced Search in LinkedIn Recruiter and find 20 potential candidates who have the skills, qualifications, and experience to fill your open position.

So you create an InMail campaign, using one of your templates, to send them each a message. Then over the next 7 days, watch for the responses to arrive on your Dashboard. And to top it off, you could still receive replies from any of the 10 people who did not respond within the 7-day guarantee window. It’s almost as good as having your cake and eating it, too! How to Build a Resume From LinkedIn & Get Feedback. What Is a LinkedIn InMail? Who Does Your LinkedIn Profile Belong To. Who does your LinkedIn profile belong to? Wait, I know we’ve asked the question of who do your LI contacts belong to… but I’m asking… who does your LinkedIn profile and all that lovely real estate within your profile belong to?

I’ve always, always, ALWAYS thought of my LinkedIn profile as a destination. It’s somewhere a job seeker should arrive and through the words on that page, my hope is they become excited about the company I work for, and excited about potentially meeting with me. They should learn about my own background and the kind of recruiter I am. So you’re a recruiter and I’m a recruiter at the core… but here’s what I think – our LinkedIn profiles are ours, except for they aren’t. But here’s what else is important – on-brand has got to mean consistent too. I sparked some interesting conversation recently around some work I’m doing to try to harmonize how all of our HR team members present themselves online. So what do you think?

I’m On LinkedIn – Now What??? LinkedIn To Launch Its Own Ad Network. At a time when most social networks are still trying to figure out how to make money from advertising, one social network is bucking the trend. LinkedIn, the social network for business professionals, has so much demand from advertisers that it will be launching its own ad network on Monday.

In conjunction with ad network Collective Media (which targets high-end media sites), LinkedIn will let other select sites target its users when they visit those partner sites. Most social networks have a hard time selling ads at more than $1 CPMs (cost per thousand impressions), but LinkedIn’s rate card shows display ads starting at $30 CPMs and going up to $76.50. Text ads range from $12 to $20 CPMs. Even with the regular discounting from the rate card that many advertisers might recieve, LinkedIn is still doing much better than most social networks. That is because it has a more desirable audience that advertisers want to reach. LinkedIn claims 27 million registered users. Content Search. Why Your LinkedIn Prospects Are Laughing At You… The following InMail (Linkedin’s email-within-it users) was sent to several targeted departments at my company recently: Dear {recipient’s name} Good Afternoon My name is {recruiter’s name} and I am a senior technical recruiter here at {company’s name}…while searching LinkedIn I came across your profile…I would love to speak with you.

We are looking for passionate engineers who are interested in joining a team of equally passionate high performers here at {company’s name}. I was hoping that you might be interested or you would know a few people that would be. Please call my recruiting partner, {recruiting colleague’s name & phone number) at your earliest convenience, we would love to find out a little more about you. If you’d rather send your resume directly to {recruiting colleague’s name & email address), that would be great too. We will review your resume with the appropriate hiring manager to see if you would be a possible fit for any of the positions we currently have open. Cloud Computing | Skills. More jobs for Indians.
