Adding Rich Media to your LinkedIn Profile

With your New LinkedIn profile, applications like Slideshare Presentations, WordPress Blog and Events, will no longer be supported. Fortunately, because installing them was not easy, it didn’t alway work and had its limitations. But there is a new way to showcase rich content on your profile; presentations, videos, documents, and more than 100 other media (see full list below). Now you can make your profile much more visually appealing by adding images, prezi presentations, audio and publications!

LinkedIn Talent Brand Index explained and discussed

Is this index a smart sales tool for LinkedIn Account Executives to sell more professional solutions, such as career pages and jobs, that should be ignored? Or a free and reliable way of scoring your Employer Brand against industry peers that makes other (expensive) surveys obsolete?

Connecting 100,000 Recruitment Consultants [INFOGRAPHIC]

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.

LinkedIn launches web and iPad app for your tablet

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.
