I am the “Admin” for the Recruiters On LinkedIn group. You have recently joined and this is a "welcome" to the group and "here is how it works".
Over the past year I have been experimenting how best to facilitate members being able to connect with each other. Some want to connect with everyone and some are looking for a few meaningful connections.
1-2 times per week I send a group introduction message with 10-15 new members and reintroducing others.
What this means for you is simple, do you wish to be introduced to the group?
You have 4 options from which to choose:
(A) “Open Networker” with name, email address, and LinkedIn URL as you want to connect with anyone and everyone.
(B) “General Introduction” with name and LinkedIn URL as you are specific about who you want to connect with.
(C) “Lurker” no announcement will be made as you want to be on the sidelines connecting with people as you wish.
(D) “Super Open Networker” which is (A) plus having your contact information on the group page.
A caution on the “Open Networker”, you may be inundated with invitations to connect. For some this is exactly what they are hoping for and others this could be a pain.
I do ask, if you receive invitations from members you do not want to connect with that you “Archive” the message versus “I don’t know” so the sender is not penalized by LinkedIn although how you handle this is up to you.
Again your options are (A), (B), (C), (D).
Please include your LinkedIn URL and email address you prefer to receive invitations and send to paul@mnheadhunter.com
Good to find you here. I added you as a friend and it's waiting for your acceptance. Check out George Vasu's page. I've already messaged him and will get back to you when I get his reply.
Don't forget to send me the New York Times article on you-know-what!
Hi, my name is Kevin and I am the operations manager for a healthcare recruiting firm in Los Angeles, CA. I’m reaching out to you because you indicated on your profile that you were in healthcare staffing and possibly open to doing some splits. We have a lot of open job orders and offer a 50/50 fee split. Would you be open to discussing ways we could collaborate from time to time?
Hello, I would like to ask a question when/if you have time to reply.
I am new to blogging.
I notice a lot of people taking other peoples' work/blogs and posting a link to them at LinkedIn, next to their name and picture.
Being new to this, I at first think they have a blog they want us to read and then discover they have simply posted a link to someone else's blog and then are soliciting feedback at the LI site where they posted the link.
Is this considered kosher? It seems as though they are trying to build traffic to their name by using other peoples' published work.
Also, do they even contact the person who wrote the blog to get permission or are people doing this without asking permission to publish a link to the person's blog next to their own name?
It seems really strange at how many people are doing this; it seems as though they are, in effect, trying to get some form of recognition for themselves by creating a link to someone's blog.
Thanks, whenever you have time. I would really appreciate your explaining this to me.
