Engage Your Network
When you engage on LinkedIn by connecting with others, participating in groups, sharing content, and by liking and commenting on content that your network has shared, you increase your visibility and your brand. Here are some of the best practices that you can do on a daily basis to engage with your LinkedIn network.
Connect Thoughtfully
Have a connection strategy. Always connect with the following members on LinkedIn:
- Your team
- Other leaders in your organization
- Recruiter(s) you work with
- Key vendors
- Great candidates
If you're reaching out to connect with someone you don't know, remember to introduce yourself and include a reason as to why you're connecting.
Share Great Profiles
When you see members on LinkedIn who might be a good fit for your team or a partner team, share them with the recruiter or recruiters you're working with.
Share Jobs
Jobs that are shared are viewed three times more than jobs that aren't, and have a higher apply volume. Be sure to "like" and share positions you'd like to see filled that are posted on LinkedIn.
Use Groups to Network
Participating in groups is a great way to start conversations, build relationships, expand your knowledge, and begin positioning yourself as a thought leader in your industry.
Update Your Status
Position yourself as an industry leader to your network by communicating via your status update. The three main types of content you should share on LinkedIn include:
- Company news
- Articles and influencer blogs in Pulse
- Examples of company culture
