With LinkedIn publishing guidelines to help members avoid career suicide, a new online business TV show from business TV network yourBusinessChannel reveals the right LinkedIn profile can be very important in scoring a dream role.
LinkedIn's decision to publish guidelines to help members avoid career disaster from mixing business with pleasure online is a smart move, if recent interviews with recruiters for a new online business TV series are anything to go by.
Business experts from global recruitment agency MRINetwork recently told online business TV producer yourBusinessChannel that they often trawl social networks looking for suitable candidates, particularly for high end or confidential placements.
In fact MRINetwork's Stephen Kennedy told the business TV channel that LinkedIn is "one of our first ports of call when we"re looking to identify top talent for the search assignments that we work on".
The extent to which social networks can help employees and employers connect in today's job market is a key theme in yourBusinessChannel's new Talent series of online business TV shows offering practical expert business advice on hiring and being hired.
One of the important pieces of expert business advice is the need to have the right professional profile. Given this, it's a worrying trend that 47 percent of UK web users are mixing their social and professional lives by accepting networking invitations from "frolleagues", or colleagues who send friendship requests.
As the experts advise, the big challenge for anyone whose active in social networks is how to manage the many aspects of your life. So what does a recruiter looking to headhunt someone for a dream role look for? Check out what the business experts say in the Talent series.
