![]() It’s actually very streamlined and intuitive. If you’re marked as a good fit it moves your application to a new section of the dashboard where the employer can contact you through their Recruiter Inbox, track their contact with you and any messages exchanged, and document how you’re progressing through the interview and selection process. On the candidate dashboard the employer can mark a candidate as a good fit, not a fit, message them, click to review their resume, or share the profile with someone else for their review and feedback (by selecting the three dots visible in the screenshot). From the candidate dashboard the employer can view the same snapshot information of all the candidates but with some added information. ![]() It looks like this: The employer can click a link in the email to view your full application or go to their dashboard to review all the applicants. The Highlight section informs employers if the candidate is connected to anyone who currently works for the company, anyone who is connected to them, or if they’ve hired anyone previously from your alma mater. Possibly my favorite part of the candidate snapshot email is the section called Highlight. The most recent positions are listed first and then go in reverse chronological order. For others, they may have had 8 lines of content in the current experience section but LinkedIn only included the first 4 lines. I couldn’t tell a rhyme or reason to how many positions or lines of text they decided to include in each section.įor instance, some applicants had 8+ past positions listed but LinkedIn chose to only include the first 5. I recommend including a value-added statement / ROI statement to each position title in your LinkedIn profile.Įach of the application emails I received contained a maximum of 14 lines of information on the applicant’s current experience, past experience, highlights and education. This is an excellent and strategic way to make the most use of the information employers will read in the snapshot before they make a fit/no fit decision. Can you come up with a brief way to highlight the value you can offer employers and incorporate that into your position titles on LinkedIn? Let’s apply that to your target audience – employers. I love what my colleague Marie Zimenoff does on her LinkedIn profile in her current position title:ĭoesn’t it give you a great picture of the value she offers her ideal clients? My advice is to maximize that space and give the employer a quick glimpse into your brand and ROI. (Job Title) at (Company Name), Start Date – End DateĮxecutive Resume Writer at Great Resumes Fast – 2008 to 2018 How can you get the employer to decide you’re a fit or take time the time to review your resume, full application or LinkedIn profile if they only receive your job title?Īccording to Andy Foote in his article on there is a 100-character maximum in the position title field. Underneath the top section LinkedIn includes your current experience, past experience and employment dates. Endorsed skills on your profile are important if you’re going to be applying for jobs on LinkedIn. As part of the job description LinkedIn asks employers to list the top skills for the position then LinkedIn alerts the employer as to how many the candidate has that are a match. The skills refer to endorsed skills on your profile that match the specific skills the employer included in the position posting. The “2 relevant skills” highlight in blue or purple is clickable and links to the candidate’s application. What is included in the profile snapshot the employer receives?Īt the very top of the email here’s what the employer sees: In that email the employer receives a snapshot of your profile information. When you apply you’re added to the recruiter’s candidate database along with everyone else who has applied and an email is sent to the employer alerting them that a candidate has applied to their position. I hope that this will help you to change how you apply, update your profile and make the most of your job search strategy! I thought I’d share with you what I received as an employer so when you’re applying to positions on LinkedIn you know exactly what information LinkedIn is providing to the employer. I recently posted a position for a new client services manager on LinkedIn. Do you ever wonder what happens after you apply to the position you saw posted on LinkedIn?
