LinkedIn’s database includes almost half a billion professionals, and companies are beginning to capitalize on this massive database to find great employees. However, LinkedIn is not very user-friendly when using it for this purpose.
LinkedIn’s simple solution is to purchase their Recruiter product—but Recruiter licenses come at an annual cost of $6,000 to $8,000 per user.
Well, as a past CFO myself, I never really thought much of one-size-fits-all solutions, especially when they come with a hefty price tag.
So, as your trusted LinkedIn advisor, I have some simple ideas to help you use LinkedIn to recruit great employees for your company. And my solutions have the perfect price tag—FREE!
