It’s been a busy year on the LinkedIn talent blog. Here are our most talked-about blog posts of 2012, as measured by number of shares through December 13th:
1. Secrets of employer branding leaders: Unilever (901 shares)
Paul Maxin shares useful insights on how a leading organization approaches the branding opportunity, hand in hand with employees
Earlier this quarter, LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner presented at Talent Connect, our annual customer conference, to a crowd of more than 2,000 Talent Acquisition professionals.
His focus? How LinkedIn is thinking about the future of recruiting, and the shift the industry has experienced: from a position of “post and pray” to expanding the recruiting skill set to include branding, targeting and engagement.
In Australia, as elsewhere, talent acquisition has never been more important. Challenges resulting from labor supply in a highly competitive market, skill shortages, technological change and an aging population are creating a sharp focus on talent acquisition and retention.
New research published by LinkedIn Talent Solutions highlights six top trends that you need to keep in mind when recruiting in Australia. We include three here; view our Slideshare presentation below to get the rest.

My first LinkedIn Talent Connect conference is in the books. As I wrote in a blog post on my way to Las Vegas, there were quite a few things I was looking forward to at my first #InTalent. The turnout was strong, with almost 2,000 recruiters from around the world converging on Las Vegas for three days of networking, sharing and learning. The energy was palpable. It was great being surrounded by so many of my recruiting peers at a conference.
LinkedIn Talent Connect 2012, the recruiting event of the year for our corporate customers, is about to sell out. Register by end of day tomorrow, Friday Oct. 5th, to attend in person.
