Share your success story with LinkedIn and get noticed
When you make a tough or interesting hire for your company, it makes you feel like a million bucks and you probably want to shout your win from every rooftop (or okay… maybe just from the top of your cube ☺).
It may interest you then that others do want to learn about LinkedIn Talent Advantage customers who’ve used the site to hire stellar employees… and sometimes those “others” can include journalists and reporters at top tier publications and websites.
Sharing your successes with LinkedIn and LinkedIn Talent Advantage has a number of benefits:
- Typically the time investment is minimal (usually an interview with a reporter only lasts 15-20 minutes).
- Your HR team gets the credit they deserve for filling multiple, unique or hard to fill positions both within your company AND in local, regional or national print or online publications.
- The resulting article can be a terrific way to vouch for the effectiveness of your team especially when it comes to making additional hires or requesting additional budget.
- Chatting with a journalist about your experience with a cutting edge tool like LinkedIn Talent Advantage also helps showcase the innovative and advanced technologies your HR team is utilizing to save your company money and make better hires.
- Perhaps even more importantly, sharing your LinkedIn and LinkedIn Talent Advantage success stories with the press also helps make your company look like the hot happening place that it is for qualified passive and active candidates (which can help make future hires for your company even easier).
