Curious how others network? Do you reach out on LinkedIn to recruiters just saying you’re looking for new opps? Would love to hear from recruiters perspectives too. There are places that I’d love to work at and admire, but just don’t know how to get on their radar, so I often sit and wait hoping they’ll hit my inbox first.

“Hey Person at a Company I Admire,

Can we connect over coffee sometime? I’d love to learn about xyz.”

It’s the same idea as building know / like / trust that everybody knows about to sell products and services.

You can pour all your KLT efforts into recruiters or the people who can intro you to other people within the company that will probably feel more authentic to both sides anyway…

Pay attention to what people say when it comes to hiring in general: they want warm referrals from friends, not exactly recruiters (unless a hiring manager needs to go to a search firm for specific reasons)

Duh. Idk why I haven’t been doing that 🤦‍♂️
