Using examples live on LinkedIn, the Using LinkedIn for Recruiters workshop is designed to ensure that you are best placed to use the power and opportunities of LinkedIn for you and your business, giving you the know-how to market yourself and your roles, identify and approach candidates and also develop new business through it.


Over 135m business people worldwide and nearly 7m in the UK alone consider LinkedIn to be the pre-eminent business networking platform online. A place where professionals have the ability to connect & network, develop their sales and market themselves, their skills, services and products.

We’ll be covering:

• Developing your network and integrating your current one
• Targeting & approaching candidates & prospects using Advanced Search & other tools
• Tools on LinkedIn to push you and your business
• LinkedIn applications making your life easier
… and many more key areas.

Workshop Overview


This is a half day workshop where we concentrate on both the resourcing and business development sides of the business, looking at the tools available to you and giving examples of how they could be used.

We start by looking at your personal profile, the foundations of your activity on LinkedIn and examine how to use it to both appeal to individual visitors as well as help you to attract the right people via LinkedIn’s Search. We then move on to how you can actively use LinkedIn to find the right connections for you and your business. This part of the session will concentrate on 8 key areas through which to approach candidates and clients. We then look at the core business building functionality via proactive targeting of contacts and prospects, increasing your own visibility and branding across the site and ensuring that you can use the tools available to achieve business success.

We have a maximum of 10 people per session to ensure that you have the opportunity to ask questions and clarify your understanding of the tools and their potential on the site.
