I really enjoy creative guerrilla marketing techniques in Recruitment. The next case comes from Jung von Matt who were looking for Art Directors. To find them they used Trojan horses: 15 well-known photographers. They show their work regularly to the best creative agencies. So they integrated small job ads in their portfolios. For example as an inscription on a bus, a graffiti on a wall or a stitchery on a pullover. In this way the photographers carried the job marketing massage precisely to our target group.
Congratulations of being part of a 100.000 members LinkedIn group! On January 26, 2008, the Recruitment Consultants and Staffing Professionals Group was created to provide a platform for Recruiters with quality contacts, jobs and discussions. It was not the first Recruitment/Recruiter group but soon after a few industry leaders, like Shally Steckerl, joined this group it grew to the second-largest Recruiter group on LinkedIn. Today it’s still one of the largest groups on LinkedIn, in top 60 of a total 1,300,000 groups.

Every recruiter/sourcer has it’s own preference when it comes to approaching potential candidates for a career opportunity. Some prefer to call, most choose to send an (in)mail directly to the person, and others prefer to… A/B Testing in Sourcing to radical change results
According to a recent Google survey of smartphone users 93% use their smartphones while traveling and more and more users today are accessing the internet from a mobile device than from a computer. Linkedin mobile page views are growing at 400% p.a. and mobile already accounts for 22% of page views and visits. However we had to wait for a better user experience on tablets until today as LinkedIn announced the release of the LinkedIn for iPad app!
It’s an updated version of their iPhone app so there’s no need to download a special app, just update (or download) the LinkedIn app and install it on your iPad. You’ll notice that you’ll get almost the same experience as the iPhone app. But they did add an extra feature; calendar. The LinkedIn iPad app can sync with your device calendar to incorporate Linkedin profile data about each attendee to help you understand “who” you are meeting with. In my opinion the best feature is the LinkedIn News section where you can read about relevant topics from your network and the most popular topics in your field (similar to the very popular Flipboard news app). A lot of people will like also that the list of people who’ve looked at your profile is the first thing you’ll see in the profile section.
In addition to the iPad app, they also launched a new mobile web experience for the Safari browser on iPad. It has exactly the same features and look as the iPad app. Try it here: tablet.linkedin.com.
