I am John Wilson working as account manager in Cat Technologies Inc. (NJ based Software and staffing com)
I wanted to touch base with you to explore the opportunity with your organization. We would like to get associated with you in across job orders/ requirements. We being a software company ourselves it makes us the right choice in understanding the actual client need and delivering in short span of time. Pls let me know a convenient time to touch base either through phone or in person and will be happy to discuss the proposal in details. (john.wilson@catamerica.com).

I'd probably opt for "A" and be an Open Networker. Let me know if you need anything else from me at this time.

Thanks again.

Jim.

It is sort of an either/or and it come down to what your philosophy on connecting with others is.

Some recruiters stick to just who they know. Others connect to everyone they can.

It depends what your intent is and how much of the LinkedIn network you want to be able to see.

At 1:19am on July 16, 2008, Paul DeBettignies said…: 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

Thank you for your time.

P.
