I dislike social media, and LinkedIn is no different to me. I haven’t really been updating mine, and so asking recruiters here if a well-crafted resume is sufficient, or if LinkedIn is a requirement? #hr

  • I get recruiters reach out to me from LinkedIn even though my profile sucks. It’s mostly amazon and smaller companies reaching out cause of the microsoft brand

    As a hiring manager I definitely stalk people on LinkedIn. I find it kind of strange when a prospect doesn’t have one or it is not updated. We also use in-house and external recruitment partners so I think it is also important when there are external recruiters involved because they do t passively wait for people to apply.

    Based on the search algorithm you are losing out on recruiters seeing you if you don't keep it up to date.

  • Linkedin is a dangerous place but really helps when u are looking out. Dangerous because you see ur average guy holding a VP engineering at some startup and spreading Gyan and here you are a sr manager at a big company

    As a recruiter I always look for talent on LinkedIn, don’t have to be actively posting on it but keeping it updated is useful. Never know when a good opportunity might come to you.
