I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: LinkedIn is a great tool for recruiters!

The company has a bunch of products that can help any recruiting professional make the most of the world’s biggest professional network.

Fortunately a lot of LinkedIn’s material is free and you can find out more in the following 3 links. If you check out their Corporate Recruiting Solutions Resources page, for example, you’ll find dozens of whitepapers, webcasts, brochures, and datasheets about recruiting in general and LinkedIn in particular. The Webcast page has a list of upcoming webcasts (nine in June alone). The blog is also quite good.

Why do I think LinkedIn is so important in the recruiting world? This Q&A with Allen Blue, LinkedIn’s VP of Product management, basically answers that question – along with LinkedIn’s actual performance as an ever-improving recruiting tool over the past two years. In short, LinkedIn has, thus far, gone from strength to strength, and they show no sign of altering course.

Do you use LinkedIn in your recruiting efforts? If so, what’s been your experience? Share a comment below and I’ll be sure to follow up on it in a later post.

In the meantime, stay up-to-date with LinkedIn. It’s a company that will probably continue to serve recruiters – and lots of other HR professionals – very well.
