How to find people that can help you on LinkedIn
Not everyone is here to help. Find out how to spot the clowns amongst the kings on LinkedIn as you search for the perfect job.
For job seekers
Who can help you when you are looking for a job? Who should you follow?
Before we begin, please heed my overarching message:
Follow recruiters in your niche.
They:
- ✅ Give advice most relevant to you.
- ✅ Give advice that is not just speculation, it’ll be what they have experienced, day to day, as recruiters!
- ✅ Have seen it all. They use ATS, screen CVs, write interview questions and have been privy to every – step of the recruitment process.
- ✅ May post about jobs you may be suitable for.
Who not to follow?
- ❌ Career coaches with no recruitment experience.
- ❌ Anyone who spouts bullshit about the ATS auto rejecting CVs.
- ❌ Anyone who clearly plays on jobseekers insecurities.
- ❌ Hiring managers – unless they work for the business you want to work for in a role where they would be your manager.
So, who should I follow?
Here are some of my favs.
Amy Miller
Recruiters at Amazon. Hilariously brutal and a joy to follow. US based and has her own YouTube channel
Head of Talent in Tech, 2nd best beard in Australian recruitment, witty, dry and a treat to follow. Try his podcast also – ‘Mitch Please’
