Updating LinkedIn
Creating a great LinkedIn Headline
Your LinkedIn headline is one of the most important things on you profile. When you are sending out messages to both sales prospects and candidates this is the first people will see.
It should include the industry or industries you're targeting.
Example: if you are going to be targeting sales Manufacturing it should read something like "Manufacturing Talent Recruiter, specializing in engineering, supply chain, quality and accounting."
When pointing your employer make sure you connect LinkedIn with HireResources, all one word, you will see our blue logo.
Feel free to use any copy from the Executives LinkedIn profiles, Corporate LinkedIn profile or our Corporate public website.
Notify your LinkedIn community
Once you have updated your LinkedIn profile now it's time to notify all your first degree connections of your new role at HireResources. This will give you additional exposure without much work!
Reach-out
make it a point to search your network and send out LinkedIn messages to everyone in your network that may be a potential client for HireResources. CEO's, CFO's, Owners, Partners, VP's, Directors, etc... Anyone in a desision making role should receive a letter from you about possibly using HireResources.
Bio & Professional Photo
You bio is an important part of our website. Creating a good bio is easy. First review others on our web site and use them for inspiration. A good bio is a short paragraph about your professional experience and why someone would want to work with you.
Let's take Liz for an example:
I emboldened some areas that you could use as a guideline:
Elizabeth Kaufman has joined HireResources as a Managing Partner. Most recently, Liz has been working as a Career Management and Recruiting Consultant but she began her career as a Human Resources professional where she successfully built and ran HR departments, designed and implemented key recruitment programs, and staffed entire departments for several start-up companies in CT and NY.
Her background also includes account management, business operations, partnership growth, and cultivating long-lasting relationships in support of bottom-line success. With more than 15 years of experience in corporate, agency, contract recruiting, and HR management, Liz has gained in-depth knowledge of the current job markets and trends as well as a deep understanding of what employers are really looking for in today’s candidates.
Liz holds a BS in English from the University of Connecticut and an MS in Human Resource Development from the University of Bridgeport. She currently resides in Bridgewater CT with her husband, Sean and yellow lab, Molly.
Profile & Website Photo:
This is a tricky one and very important subject. people make decisions based on your appearance and photo. I know we do not want think it is so but in real life it makes a difference. Keep you photo clear and professional, this is the image you are making to candidates and new business prospects. Below is a sample of a good professional photo, a nice smile, professional clothing, clean background, and very simple.
Internal Networking
One of the first goals of a new Member should be to contact as many people in the group and make yourself known. This is the first step in building strong relationships with others on the team. Network with others in and outside of your team. We have included some topics that you may want to discuss with other Members.

Workplace
Workplace is a private internal social site that acts as a billboard for us to collaborate, inform, chat, and share information with each other. You will find it a valuable and time saving way to interact with your team and other Members.
Your Team Leader will add your email address to this account and you will be notified via email to create a password and log into your account.
As in a social networking sites please us caution when posting comments and adding new posts. We want it to be a open discussion and you to feel free to add content but use good business judgment. Remember when you post to the Corporate groups that post and all the comments will be sent to the entire company.
Please do not post things like "I will be away from my desk for the afternoon" to the Company groups. That is okay for team groups or direct emails. Again, use common sense.

Selecting a niche
Selecting a niche is very important to starting a successful new desk. If you have an industry focus already that is great, if not than some things to consider while you select a good focus are:
-
Is the niche growing?

Is there a need for recruitment services and a shortage of good candidates in this industry?
-
Am I networked into that niche already?
-
How may companies are in this industry?
-
How can I join networking and associations within this industry to get BD leads and/or candidates?
-
Do I have knowledge of this industry that I can use or do I need to learn it from scratch?
