They found her; she didn't even know about the job because it hadn't been posted. Employers really do use the tool. They use Facebook too, but not for the same reason ... I think you'll be delving into that next.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031751345462244954.post-60381117428714247392011-02-03T23:14:27.151-08:002011-02-03T23:14:27.151-08:00LOL At the pee analogy...good writing.

I know for a fact that in the high tech industry, many job recruiters (both from within companies or 3rd parties) use LinkedIn as their number one source for finding candidates. I also know of some recruiters and hiring managers who refuse to consider candidates because their LinkedIn resource is not "robust" enough. It definitely has become a key resource for job searches.naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18043534054850791960noreply@blogger.com
