Recruiters are addicted to LinkedIn like Crack

Finally, I turn to LinkedIn, pop in a few keywords and find several choice candidates. In a few days, Id interviewed and hired my team.In the past I had been critical of recruiters simply doing keyword queries in LinkedIn, and not bothering to build a strong community. Yet there I was doing the exact lazy thing I judged recruiters for doing.And it dawned on me, LinkedIn really DOES make finding the best candidates easy. No wonder recruiters cant get enough of the network. (maybe its also why LinkedIns stock is doing so much better than Facebook)So first, let me  apologize  to any recruiter I  misjudged. Your job is hard enough. Use what ever tools you can to make it easier.Second, let this be a lesson to job seekers, there is a reason why you are using LinkedIn, and thats to make a recruiters job easier. Now, with 200 million profiles, having a profile isnt good enough, it has to be amazing!So yes, Erin is right, LinkedIn is crack for recruiters. And who can blame them!So what is one thing you can do to your profile right now to make it easier for those busy, over worked, LinkedIn addicted recruiters to find you?Comments, tweets and Likes welcome.
