Are recruiters using Google searches to find candidates? Please explain. Here is how I responded: <br /><br />Recruiters search all different ways to find top candidates for the positions that they seek to fill including Google searches and heavy use of LinkedIn searching for people by job title, key words and location. <br /><br />Because LinkedIn only allows people to view people within their network (1st, 2nd and 3rd degree connections) or groups, millions of LinkedIn results are not seen (because they are not part of your network or any of your LinkedIn groups). By making your profile more public, recruiters can see your entire profile on LinkedIn if they search for you by name or if they search for people like you on the site using searches like "civil engineer, San Francisco". <br /><br />If you don't have your profile set fully on public, they may only see a portion of your profile and may not be able to see all of your background that could make you particularly qualified for the positions they seek to fill.<br /><br />It's important to have your profile fully public on Google and other search engines so that if you have applied for jobs, recruiters can check you out by name and find full information about you on your profile that can impress them enough to contact you. <br /><br />Make sense? Does anyone else have questions about this topic? -- KathyWiserUTipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253959941494090954noreply@blogger.com
