Has anyone been successfully using LinkedIn to attract candidates? Because I would love some tips!

This is a pretty broad question. Would you be able to specify what you’re looking for?
Generally speaking, there’s prime time to post (when people are usually checking or during downtime). Post something that you think will be helpful to others or might be able to help others. There’s groups you can join too

I would love to know this as well.I am not finding any quality candidates on Linked in.

I agreew with TR1. We usually have a certain timeframe when to post. Sometimes, we focus on a specific industry with more in demand roles.

Yep, it's primarily how we recruit candidates - although more for mid level professionals as they don't really apply for stuff through us directly

Yes!!! the network is completely open. I have various different headhunting tactics we use to target and attract talent. Are you just posting and waiting or putting in the effort to headhunt ?

It's all about your messaging on your posts. When I post about a open role I get 70+ comments, 30+ qualified applicants, and 10+ shares. All organic reach.

I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
