Book Description

November 11, 2008
Over 50 recruitment industry leaders and expert LinkedIn users generously share their secrets of LinkedIn success. The book will show recruiters, sourcers and others in the recruitment industry how they can make more effective use of the various tools and resources within LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a much-used resource by those "in the know". Recruiters already using this resource will be stimulated to make even more use of it and those who have so far not explored LinkedIn extensively will realize the opportunities it offers. This book is a must-read for anyone wanting the inside story on how to use LinkedIn to grow their business through collaborative deals or 'splits'. Drawing on the actual experience of expert recruiters, the book also covers: · Finding candidates · Finding jobs for third parties · Discovering business opportunities · Gaining market intelligence which is simply not available, or so accessibly, elsewhere

1.0 out of 5 stars What A Waste!, September 29, 2006
This review is from: Happy About LinkedIn for Recruiting (2nd Edition): The Roadmap for Recruiters using LinkedIn (Paperback)
This book was a complete waste of time. I only paid $22 for it used but it doesn't make the mistake any better. I am insulted and disappointed that a disclaimer wasn't put on this book to let people know it is an ENDORSEMENT for Linked In and NOT an actual useful tool for Recruiters. I love Linked In, hate the book. Real Recruiters will find it a waste. New Recruiters might get suckered into buying this thing at full price. I'll be donating this to the local library book sale.

1.0 out of 5 stars misrepresented, October 3, 2007
I thought this book was a waste of $40 dollars! It is touted as having secrets from 50 recruiters but all it is is a makreting tool encouraging people to purchase premium accounts. It has a bunch of quotes from recruiters who can barely put a sentence together telling of their networking experiences but I would hardly characterize as secrets or tricks or even helpful hints. The linkedin site is easy to use and does not require an instruction manual.
