Do recruiters actually care about whether or not you post on Linkedin?

No. They care whether or not you've worked at Wieden+Kennedy.

Not a recruiter but an part of the hiring panels for my clients — *not* regularly posting on LinkedIn is a better sign.

I assume you are actually doing work versus PR’ing yourself.

I stopped interviewing at an agency after I researched the CD I’d be working for and discovered he was was posting to LinkedIn 3-4 times a day.

If you have time to do that, you’re probably not all that busy with real work. Also the posts were just dumb, childish “hot takes” on other people’s work and the industry at large.

His posts told me that he was inexperienced, immature and the agency was irresponsible by putting someone like that in charge. It wasn’t just a bad look for him, it was a bad look for the agency as a whole.

This is what recruiters should be worried about.

If you’re *any type* of professional (talking white collar) and can help a specific audience through your content - why would you not want to share tips, guidance, lessons, etc with them?

The idea of “if you’re posting on LinkedIn you’re not working” is a totally false and limiting belief. Makes zero sense.

This is coming from someone who’s been on the hiring and want-to-get-hired side.

Posting on LinkedIn to display your expertise is not only a net-positive for the company you work for, but as a long-term investment in your career, too.

My final round with Deloitte for UK Tech Consulting Manager position soon. Strangely it’s not a PMD round as it usually is for other Big4/tech consulting firms.

What is a typical salary to expect? I was asked in screening but kept it vague (e.g can discuss later bla bla). I was hoping 75-80 (ridiculous?)
