[Joywtseo421]

LinkedIn's latest updates made in late 2016 created both excitement (for casual users) and worry (for those using it as a recruitment tool). How would these look and functionality changes affect recruiting? Will this help or hinder our recruiting efforts?

When the new website was finally rolled out, recruiters were relieved. The changes have made recruiting and job hunting easier than ever. The new look pulls inspiration from Facebook, which is a smart move considering their demographic.

A recent study reported that 34% of people 18–29 used LinkedIn, which is projected to trend upward in the coming years. LinkedIn is social media for professionals, so users expect it to perform in a similar way.

The entire site is cleaner, faster and easier to navigate. However, there are some luxembourg phone number resource changes that will specifically help recruiting. Take a look:

Change #1- Profiles, Innovated
The new LinkedIn profile is going to be an immense help to recruiters. Now, when you go in to edit your profile, LinkedIn suggests things to add. The suggestions include skills, activities and groups, work samples, volunteer experience and more.

Helping potential talent to showcase their skills and experience is going to make finding the right candidate easier than ever. Once someone has taken the time to fill out the suggestions, all the information a recruiter needs is right there.

Change #2 — Updated Search
One of the biggest changes LinkedIn made is the search function. There is now one universal search bar to find people, jobs, companies, groups and schools. At first, the new search may seem difficult, but LinkedIn is still catering to recruiters with the change. Searching by job functions in the universal search bar is still an option, it is only after the initial search that recruiters can narrow the results based on location and company.
