Hvwnt found much success on LinkedIn, honestly been having better luck with indeed

like

I have seen more activity on Indeed. I haven’t had a lot of luck on LinkedIn

I have had premium membership on and off for several years, with no hits on my optimized “private sector” -styled profile (I paid to have one created). On Indeed, I have my “government-style” resume, which is much longer, in chronological order, and definitely not the word salad we’re told to create for the public sector ATS industry. Yet all my recruiting requests have come from Indeed. Go figure.

I get tons through LinkedIn and I don’t have premium! It’s about optimising your profile.

Success on LinkedIn is all about your profile, my clients regularly receive calls from recruiters at all levels based on them appearing in the right searches

Why is it taboo for your current company to know you’re open to new opportunities. Doesn’t necessarily mean you are actively looking, just if the right position comes along then you’re out. Employers will treat us better if they know that we are always looking

like

Agreed. I do side-hustles and I'm always open to off-hours contract work. Saying your open doesn't necessarily mean you're looking to leave. Besides, saying you're not open to a better opportunity would be a lie, right?

Ziprecruiter and monster have landed me so many interviews and offers. I was naming my own price at some point

like

Interesting!

Nope. I have the premium membership- and I do not have the badge for open to work, because my current employer is a connection on LI. But I have opted to be seen by recruiters for jobs. I have not had a single recruiter reach out to me for a job. And I’ve had 3 recruiters reach out to me via Indeed.
I also downloaded Hirect and tried to apply there. G now, I think it could be a hoax , because no one even replies to you! I’ve had some Interviews through the Mom Project as well.
BUT NOTHING THROUGH LINKED IN.

Recruiters at your company can still see you.

I find my applications are getting viewed immediately. But—in the one whopping week I’ve been actively job seeking, I’ve been turned down every time. It’s only been a week but still. What gives?

like

That’s how I see it! I’ve gotten a couple of nibbles this week from recruiters, so we’ll see! I’ve envisioned a 3-6 month timeline to find what I’m looking for 🔥

I’ve had a bit of luck by reaching out to them. Apply to the job, search in the company or check to see if the recruiter is listed and reach out.

like

I’ll add to this, no interviews yet—but cold calling and emailing/reaching out to strangers has been a game changer! Talks are being had, wheelhouse is turning!

like

I had it turned on for a few months while I was looking. All recruiters who contacted me said they found me via LinkedIn. It’s hard to tell if it were that or the “Open to” status change.

like

Just wondering about this, excellent question!! Thanks for asking

like

Agreed, me too

I think it depends on the field and career level. I've never used an external recruiter (email, LI or otherwise) and have relied on LinkedIn to directly apply to companies. Conservatively, I've had about a 65-70% response rate, with maybe 5% converting to first-round interviews.

like

A little bit, but just recruiters from consultancy company.

Same here

Yes, I receive them weekly. I’ve noticed much more with premium than with non.

like

I have activated it last autumn and had literally 3 reach and all of the connections for the CV hunt, I'm afraid.

Nothing with LinkedIn. I do not have premium. But more successful with Indeed

I just started using Zip Recruiter and am getting tons of opportunities with them. There are so many not found on LinkedIn or Indeed. If they send you jobs that don't apply to your career and then ask if they're sending the right ones, you can say no. Once I did that I guess someone actually looked at my resume and now almost all the job opportunities they email me are on point.

Not really.

This is how I landed my new job, applied on LinkedIn and reached out to the recruiter right after. She booked my interview that day!

Consider using tal&dev (talanddev.com).. is so much more private.

None sees your resume if you don’t want to.

Your profile can get matched (effortlessly) to new career opportunities but you are in full control as far as who you decide to share your private data with.

So, with tal&dev, no risk of showing open to work badges and no hassle with recruiters accessing your mailbox.
