<p>It seems that the hiring manager who is scared their employee will leave hates LinkedIN because it is WORKING. And working just the way it was intended to: make connections between professionals. Employees are loyal sometimes to a fault. However, companies have many times taken advantage of that (why does it require leaving a company to get a decent increase in pay in most situations?). LinkedIN may get watered down by some Spam and people who do not use it properly. With a strong…</p>
<p>It seems that the hiring manager who is scared their employee will leave hates LinkedIN because it is WORKING. And working just the way it was intended to: make connections between professionals. Employees are loyal sometimes to a fault. However, companies have many times taken advantage of that (why does it require leaving a company to get a decent increase in pay in most situations?). LinkedIN may get watered down by some Spam and people who do not use it properly. With a strong network and good research skills, recruiters and candidates looking to make a change can use it to amazing ends. </p> Leah, thanks for commenting.…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2013-10-30:502551:Comment:17642942013-10-30T20:40:09.903ZMaureen Sharibhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/MaureenSharib
<p>Leah, thanks for commenting.</p>
<p>The great thing about all this I find is people are finally coming out of the shadows unafraid to speak their minds.</p>
<p>It's kind of like the munchkins reappearing in the Land of Oz after the WickedWitch is done away with.</p>
<p>Now all we have to deal with is the Wizard and it seems he is being defrocked as well.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if being deathly afraid of your employees getting poached is either healthy or rational. We're all adults here; if a recruiter really wants to find you, they will somehow! And if someone sends you an inMail, doesn't mean you're suddenly walking out the door. </p>

<p>I've noticed all the negativity about LinkedIn lately, and I'm sure they deserve it, especially from the perspective of us 3rd party Recruiters. I've had a paid Recruiter account this year and been sorely disappointed with the ROI and the way I've been treated as a customer. Please please don't buy into it, guys!! there, I saved you some $$!!</p>
<p>Next year I'm going to try going commando for a while and see if I can get basically the same results from LinkedIn without paying a dime. I'm pretty sure I will. </p>
<p>I think people are just realizing the reality of social networking! No wonder these geniuses like Zuckerburg are so rich; they figured out how to get people to WANT to give up all their personal information for free, so that they could in turn sell it. {sigh}</p>
