How to See Full Names of 3rd Degree Connections on LinkedIn
For a while, there was an interesting little method for revealing the full name of 3rd degree and group connections on LinkedIn. However, LinkedIn has changed the “get introduced” functionality and UI for most people and effectively eliminated that method (albeit unintentionally, IMO). Oh well – it was easy and fun while it lasted. Fortunately, [...]
LinkedIn’s Talent Connect, Talent Pipeline, and Certification
Talent Connect 2011 in Las Vegas was just as good as, if not better than, Talent Connect 2010 in San Francisco. Nearly 2,000 people showed up, which is around 3 times as many attendees as last year’s conference, and they represented over 700 companies from 17 countries. One thing’s for sure – LinkedIn knows how to put [...]
LinkedIn User Demographics and Visitor Statistics 2011
Would you like to know more about LinkedIn’s user demographics, as well as LinkedIn’s visitor statistics broken down by country, city, and state? If so, you’ve come to the right place! After patiently waiting for a whole year since my last post on LinkedIn statistics, I’m excited to bring you LinkedIn’s latest user demographics and [...]
How to Find and Identify Active Job Seekers on LinkedIn
I’ve received a few inquiries over the past month regarding how to find active job seekers on LinkedIn. This isn’t something I do, nor have I ever tried to do it, so I didn’t have any read-made search suggestions for these folks. I don’t recruit people because they are looking to make a move – [...]
LinkedIn’s Undocumented Search Operator
Earlier this year, I wrote an article on how to use LinkedIn’s advanced search operators as search agents in which I briefly mentioned and demonstrated an undocumented LinkedIn search operator at the very end of the post. Did you catch it? If not, you’re in luck. Although it’s not an Earth-shattering discovery by any means, [...]
Update Your LinkedIn X-Ray Searches for Location Names
A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across something on LinkedIn that I am surprised I never noticed before – I’m not even certain if/when LinkedIn made the change. Finally sitting down to write about it, I highly doubted that I could be the only person to have discovered this interesting little find, so I [...]
LinkedIn Search: Controlling Years of Experience & Compensation
When searching any source for potential candidates, the ability to search by years of experience can be especially helpful in that years of experience can be correlated to current/desired compensation. If you are recruiting for a position that pays a maximum of $85,000 annually, being able to first source people who are highly likely to [...]
LinkedIn Sourcing Challenge – Can You Find Everyone?
So far, I’ve launched 2 LinkedIn sourcing challenges – Ruby and X-Ray Location False Positives. The former had very strong participation as it was a little on the easier side (for some!). The latter had fewer participants, perhaps because it was more technical – but those who did participate did so heavily. For my 3rd [...]
How to Find The Total Number of LinkedIn Members
On March 22nd, LinkedIn announced that they had officially crossed the 100 Million member mark. However, they might have actually crossed the 100 Million member milestone back in January. How would I know? I started seriously exploring LinkedIn Ads ever since they announced that they emerged from beta on 1/26/2011, and I noticed that once [...]
LinkedIn’s Dark Matter – Undiscovered Profiles
Sourcing has a fundamental problem: All searches return results. Yes, that is actually a problem. Why? Because everyone’s a winner. Type in a few keywords and BAM! – you get some good looking results. Hey, this sourcing stuff isn’t so hard! If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times – sourcing is [...]
