4. Are YOU LinkedIn?

6. Get your ducks in a row.

21. Human Resources
& LinkedIn

company when it comes to social media, not
just LinkedIn. Let me explain why . . .

22. First of all, this is not okay!
The case of John Flexman:

of-job-over-LinkedIn-CV.html
In short- you can’t be fired for being active on
LinkedIn and you can’t fire someone else for their
activity.
(unless it violates your social media policy or
jeopardizes your company’s reputation!)

23. Recruitment
Here is some super awesome news for you!
Basically, LinkedIn makes doing the
legwork a lot easier and far more accessible
than ever. You can cut down on time spent
sifting through emails, inquiries and
applications while fine tuning your search
for the perfect candidate for employment.

easier than this guy . . .

25. If you build it, they will come
• Develop your network
• Stay in touch with former valued and
trusted colleagues for potential future
employment relationships

business partner or even a family member. It’s for you to decide!

29. Ask Your Current Employees to
Reach Out on Their Networks
Once you post a job on LinkedIn or even decide
to use it in another way for recruiting, have your
valued employees and business colleagues share
it with their network.
Not only does this increase your companies
credibility, but it also allows you to reach a
greater portion of the job seekers who utilize
LinkedIn.
