She used LinkedIn to find the hiring manager (who had posted the job posting on their own profile advertising it). Meghan was looking to stay in a similar kind of role (programs and events) but shift from museums into education tech companies. If Susan hadn’t reached out to the hiring manager on LinkedIn, she would not have gotten a first round interview. Susan - who starts in the role in a few weeks with a killer compensation package - will probably never apply to a job again without using LinkedIn to stand out. She sent the automated response to the hiring manager she spoke with earlier, and they back channeled to the recruiter.īefore she knew it, she had an interview scheduled for the next week. On Friday morning she got an automated response telling her she wasn’t a match for the role - even after making major changes to her resume and writing a kick ass cover letter. They set up a call for Wednesday and she prepped as if it was an interview reviewing her most transferable projects, experiences and skills that directly tied to the role so she could effectively introduce herself on the quick networking call. I’d love to chat with you about the Sustainability Manager role you’re hiring for. Hi Jen - I’m currently leading private sector engagement for in the lead up to. She reached out on LinkedIn with this message:
When a role came open at a Fortune 500 company in sustainability, she used LinkedIn to find the hiring manager. While sustainability was the common theme of the work, she was shifting from government to private sector. Susan was looking to change her role and her sector (what we call a ‘Double Pivot’). Here are a few examples to give you ideas of when and how to effectively leverage a LinkedIn message in your job search. The last 12 months in particular, we’ve witnessed even more success stories of clients who have sent tailored, effective outreach notes through LinkedIn and gone on to interview for and get job offers.
And, you can use it to reach out to a hiring manager or recruiter to share that you applied, increasing the chance that a human reviews your application.
You can use it to understand where you might fit into the organization and the types of people that work for the company. You can use it to figure out who a hiring manager might be and effectively tailor your cover letter. For a while now, LinkedIn has been an incredibly helpful tool for your job search.
