Recruiters and sourcers are panicked about the changes on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn v. Indeed. The ultimate showdown between the two most prolific resume and candidate search platforms on the web today.

Be Kind. That’s it, that’s all. What’s kindness in recruiting? Be responsive. With candidates, with the unknown. Since I’ve changed jobs, I’ve acquired a few pen-pals.

What is definitely not is the virtual high fives and congrats I’m getting on LinkedIn. Definitely a slew from people I don’t know. I’m big on connecting and growing my …
LinkedIn is a constant in recruiting conversations. Are you on it? Do you really network? Use the groups? Post jobs? Do you source on it? Still? Is it gone yet? What about Microsoft?
