Social
Media Recruiting Specialist Jim Durbin Demonstrates Advanced
Strategies for Using LinkedIn to Find the Perfect Job Candidate.
NOVATO,
Calif. (September 7, 2012) -- LinkedIn is the first stop
recruiters make when searching for qualified job candidates, which
makes it harder to compete for the best candidates available. Where
most recruiters do a superficial search, the best recruiters know how
to dig below the surface to find hidden skills and talents that make
their candidates really stand out. In the next Experts Connection
(http://www.experts-connection.com)
webinar entitled, “LinkedIn for Executive Recruiting: Beyond the
Basics (2012 Edition),” social media headhunter Jim Durbin will
offer step-by-step instructions into how to use advanced techniques
that make LinkedIn your most powerful tool to find job candidates.
The webinar is scheduled for Thursday, September 27, from 4:00 –
5:30 p.m. ET, (1:00 – 2:30 p.m. PT), and is sponsored by NETSHARE®
(http://www.netshare.com).
LinkedIn
continues to grow as the premier social network for business with
more than 175 million profiles, including profiles from executives at
every Fortune 500 company. LinkedIn is also one of the largest
providers of recruiting services. This webinar will offer
point-by-point instruction in how to use LinkedIn as the insiders use
it, including a live demonstration that allows participants to follow
along online.
In
this 90-minute webinar, attendees will learn:
-
The latest sourcing strategies for 2012, including techniques for
both free and paid LinkedIn accounts.
-
The fastest ways to search for candidates both using LinkedIn and
outside of the network.
-
Job posting strategies and recommendations as to how to generate
employee referrals.
-
Three ways to craft messages that generate responses from targeted
candidates.
-
Alternative contact strategies to reach passive candidates across a
variety of industries.

How to market your positions and your companies using LinkedIn.
“Recruiters
have started to take LinkedIn for granted, which means they aren't
utilizing its full potential,” said Katherine Simmons, CEO of
NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection webinars. “Once you
understand the nuances, LinkedIn can become an incredibly powerful
tool that will help you compete as a recruiter, as well as identify
the best candidates for any job. Jim has made a science of using
LinkedIn for recruiting, and this is a rare opportunity to see how a
master uses the hottest recruiting tool available. This Master’s
class will be invaluable to anyone in recruiting or HR.”
The
cost of the Experts Connection seminar is $100, and access is
provided via web and telephone. A web archive also is available for
