They do this because it&#8217;s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Free to post.<\/li><li>More direct than going through their HR group so they can vet candidates to their precise needs (over and above the job description)<\/li><li>Easier to control and manage &#8212; with others able to share, tag and copy for further referrals.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Tailor Your LinkedIn Feed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.linkedin.com\/2021\/february\/guide-features-to-help-you-control-your-feed-and-conversations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn blog<\/a> asked: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Did you know that your social activity on LinkedIn impacts the type of content seen in your feed?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how they suggest tailoring your feed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Signal what you like and dislike:<\/strong> You can tell us what you want to see more and less of by clicking the three dots (\u2026) on a post. This will open a toolbox of options available, including saving the post to review later, reporting the post, or even hiding the specific post from your feed by clicking \u201cI don\u2019t want to see this.\u201d These are all quick ways to help your feed become more relevant to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add your voice: <\/strong>When you like, comment or share posts, you\u2019re letting us know that these types of posts are something you care about. We\u2019ll make sure you see more of these posts, whether from that person or company, or that format of post. And when people like or reply to your insights, we will make sure they see more of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use hashtags:<\/strong> From broad business topics like #creativity and #content to other topics like #blacklivesmatter or #digitalmarketing, hashtags are another way to shape the conversations and insights in your feed. Simply click on any hashtag you like in the feed and then click follow under the hashtag\u2019s title. Here are a few more tips for using hashtags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LinkedIn Tips About Messaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another article on the LinkedIn blog described how to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.linkedin.com\/2021\/may\/20\/ways-to-get-the-conversation-started-with-linkedin-messaging\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">start a private conversation with messaging<\/a> \u2013 both with connections you already have and when starting a new conversation with someone not in your network: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone can message 1st degree connections for both 1:1 and group conversations. Once you start a group chat, you can add people you&#8217;re directly connected to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To reach out beyond 1st degree connections:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ask for an introduction to someone you\u2019re not yet connected with<\/strong> &#8212; ask one of your connections to kick off a group conversation between you and the person in their network with whom you\u2019re interested in chatting. Because they hold a mutual connection, they can start a group message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Message a Premium member who has enabled Open Profile<\/strong> &#8212; if you can see a Premium Profile Badge on someone\u2019s profile, they may also have Open Profile turned on. If you are a Premium member and you want to be able to get messages from non-first degree connections, you can ensure this setting is on here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Subscribe to a premium or business solution<\/strong> &#8212; with <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/how-to-find-and-connect-with-the-right-recruiters-on-linkedin\/\">LinkedIn Premium, LinkedIn Recruiter<\/a>, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or LinkedIn Campaign Manager, you receive credits to directly message another LinkedIn member to whom you\u2019re not yet connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To send a message request<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With message requests, you can reach out to any members who are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Members of the same Group<\/li><li>Members attending the same Event<\/li><li>Co-workers at your current company<\/li><li>Members who have enabled <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/should-you-display-opentowork-on-your-linkedin-profile\/\">#OpenToWork<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you send a message request, the recipient will be notified, see the shared context, and can decide to either accept or privately decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t Forget LinkedIn Voice Messaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LinkedIn Voice Messaging has been around for a few years, but I don&#8217;t see a lot of members using it. People say they get much better response than with LinkedIn written messaging because their personality comes across better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LinkedIn blog says you should <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.linkedin.com\/2018\/july\/26\/voice-messaging-on-linkedin-giving-you-more-ways-to-have-conversations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">use voice messaging<\/a> to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Easily message on-the-go: <\/strong>People speak about four times faster than they type, making voice messaging great for explaining longer or more complex ideas without the time and involvement of typing and editing a message. It\u2019s also helpful for when you\u2019re on the move and don\u2019t have time to stop and type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get to it when you can:<\/strong> Leaving a voice message can often better for a recipient than calling them since they can listen and respond when they have a free moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Better express yourself:<\/strong> Speaking in your own voice allows you to build a more personal connection and effectively communicate. It\u2019s easier for your tone and personality to come through, which can sometimes get lost in translation in written communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to use the mobile app to record voice messages.
