LinkedIn finally got all the functionality of a Job Board, and more

Recruiters and Hiring Managers have a few options for advertising jobs on the LinkedIn network:

  1. Using status updates. Your direct connections will see this update on their homepage.
  2. Post jobs in LinkedIn groups you are member of.
  3. Promote jobs via the LinkedIn profile i.e. write in your profile headline or summary that you are looking for specific skills (interesting option for ongoing recruitment of specific skills). Also the applications Google Docs, Slideshare and WordPress are very suitable for this.
  4. Send an InMail message to your direct connections (maximum 200).
  5. Paid Job Postings, 195 US$, to get listed in the Jobs module where every member can search for jobs.
