<p>Very interesting observation Irina that 100 % of your recruits last 12 months came via Linkedin - thanks for sharing .</p>
<p>To add to what Randall asked and your reply Irina, could you also provide some insight on :</p>
<p>a) Did you check later as to how many of these candidates also had their profile on any Job Board ?</p>
<p>b) If you did, any observations on what extra LinkedIn did / did not provide ?</p>

<p>a) Did you check later as to how many of these candidates also had their profile on any Job Board ?</p>
<p>b) If you did, any observations on what extra LinkedIn did / did not provide ?</p>
<p>c) If you found any Candidates on Job Board what difference you think in the process/ success rate would have been there had you simply taken their CV off the board and then called them , rather than via LinkedIn ?</p>
<p>Would love to hear further from you/ any else here on this.</p>
<p>I am a TPR out of India . Do not have a paid LinkedIn account but sometimes do get into these comparatives. Have found that most CVs can be sourced via the Job Boards as well, provide much more information much faster - such as Contact Info, Present Salary etc. and candidates can be approached much faster.</p>
<p>However, this is just my experience and one is always open to learning !</p>
<p>In fact I am running a Survey on Effectiveness of Job Ads on "Social Media " like LinkedIn, FaceBook, Twitter etc.. Find it at :</p>

<p>and have spread it on various LinkedIn Groups of which the total embers would be around 200,000</p> Randall,

<p>Great questions; I will be explaining in my lecture. :) I don't make a secret of most but the answers can be lengthy. I will give you an example of research and may post more later. If you enter some keywords or a title instead of a full-blown people search, you can get a list of target companies.</p>
<p>You can re-use this idea in different ways.</p>

<p>Linkedin has been pushing their RPS System for $5000 a year - although I heard they are launching a version which can be purchased on a monthly basis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Curious to hear from anyone using that system.</p>

<p>Thanks for the information. I do feel linkedin gives great data, etc.</p>
<p>Concerning your statement:</p>
<p>"For my own recruiting business LinkedIn accounts for 100% placed candidates in the last twelve months and a large chunk of sourcing information that I submit to others when sourcing."</p>
<p><br/>I'm curious:</p>
<p><br/>Of these placements, what is the typical:</p>

<p>Those are great observations - can you advise as to how you overcome those challenges? Specifically:</p>
<p>LinkedIn can be searched in <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>multiple creative ways</strong></span> and provide useful Business Intelligence data</p>
