With millions of companies and decision-makers on LinkedIn’s business and professional network, around 35.5 million candidates have been hired by a person they connected with on the site, according to a study. Whether you’ve applied for a new position or completed the first round of interviews, there is still another opportunity to increase your chances of not only receiving visibility, but an offer.
Do you know that 77% of recruiters use LinkedIn to scan profiles and resumes when hiring new talent? Studies show that the process of scanning resumes lasts about 7.4 seconds on average. If you are qualified for the position, experts highly recommend making a first impression by reaching out to the company’s headhunter or recruiter.
According to LinkedIn, eight people are hired every minute for jobs, 480 people are hired per hour, and 11,520 people are hired per day. Former Disney recruiter Simon Taylor told CNBC Make It that candidates are doing recruiters a “favor by contacting them on LinkedIn and putting your name right in front of them.”
