Contact by recruiter on LinkedIn
How do recruiter finds you on LinkedIn? I have never got an interview call from LinkedIn (message). No one ever approached me. On other had I have friends who usually gets call from LinkedIn. ( some recruiters from FB Google Amazon etc messages them on LinkedIn) Is there anything wrong with my LinkedIn settings? How recruiter lookup candidates? Thanks. TC: -ve (new grad and paying tuition fees)
1. Improve your Grammar. 2. Keep profile updated, by which I mean add brief description for your profile and things you have achieved in projects/ jobs. 3. Send invites to recruiters from different companies
Do you or your friends have the "looking for job" setting on?
Yes both has
Only way to get an interview at LinkedIn is a referral afaik
They go purely off default picture attractiveness. Guess you ugly
Dont worry this is pretty common. Unless you graduate from a super elite school LinkedIn recruiters usually try to poach people who are already working very similar jobs in similar tech industries. How do I know? Got 0 recruiters reaching out to me when I was job hunting a fresh grad and few months into my first job i started getting LinkedIn pings. If your friends are getting pings on LinkedIn then I would check their LinkedIn profile. Usually its keywords they look for In Title/ Proven Skills.i.e Github etc.
This tip is concrete
Thanks
Don’t worry, with time they will reach out. Use the “open to new opportunities” setting, update your profile to list your responsibilities and accomplishments, and connect with recruiters. Profiles with many “buzz words” pop up in the searches.
Are your friends also at intel?
We all are new grads
