Making Your LinkedIn Work For You

94% of recruiters use LinkedIn to source and vet candidates, but only 36% of LinkedIn users are actively updating their profiles and using the site! Those statistics are encouraging for any users who want to make themselves stand out in the sea of candidates! A lot of people don't know where to start when it comes to updating their LinkedIn to attract recruiters and organizations; thankfully it doesn't have to be hard. 

1) Your personal tagline should be relevant to your current or desired profession.

2) Think of the summary box as your elevator pitch, and use as many keywords as possible! You should be creative but also remember to keep it short and sweet. This makes it easier for recruiters to find your profile and to see what you're all about!

3) Always avoid grammatical and typo errors, just as you would on your resume! This is an instant turn-off and an easy way to weed people out (in the eyes of a recruiter).

4) Collect recommendations and testimonials from colleagues, supervisors, and industry professionals so they can speak to your experience and abilities! Think references 2.0.

5) Update your privacy settings to allow for people to contact you in the ways you would like.

Best of luck!

#MeetTheTeam Part 4!

Giving all of you the opportunity to learn about our team is important to us, and we hope it's giving you some more insight into what we do at Clinical Resources. We call ourselves a team, not a group, or anything else, because each one of us does something that contributes to the growth of our organization. We all have our strengths and our weaknesses and that's what makes us human. We don't pretend to be perfect, but we strive to provide a tailored experience to every person we come in contact with because that is our top priority. We truly hope you have been enjoying learning more about our us, so here's our next installment of #MeetTheTeam!

Meet Susan Wernsman, our Recruitment Assistant Wonderwoman! 

Susan wears many hats in our organization, she's good at many things, and she walks so quickly that it's possible for her to get all of these things done. Most days, Susan is working hard at candidate sourcing, managing our recruitment database, and assisting Jennifer or anyone else in just getting the job done, whatever it may be. She treats each candidate within our database as her own, and pays attention to every last detail in all that she does. She assists in keeping everyone's tech (gadgets, systems) updated, and always goes the extra mile.
