If you’re in the market for a new job, a new offer to wave in front of the boss’ nose, or genuinely wanting to test the waters – it’s worth knowing a few things about the job market, and what you can do to get noticed by the right people.
​
Firstly, about 80% of available jobs are never advertised – most roles are filled from referrals, recruiter database scans, and digital talent hunts using Linkedin. US stats show that around 93% of companies use LinkedIn for recruiting
 
Someone at the Auckland based company Consult Recruitment did their Masters thesis on LinkedIn’s role in recruitment and selection procedures (it says ‘default admin’ but I’m sure it’s a real person). They found that in New Zealand, around 70% of recruiters and hiring managers use LinkedIn to source top talent. For many, it’s their first (and increasingly only) port of call, after their own database.
They also point out that this is 70% of hiring managers and recruiters across ALL sectors - from unskilled labour right through to executive level.
 
They also drive home a very good point … if recruiters can’t find you, then you have just missed out on a new opportunity.
“IF YOU’RE NOT ON LINKEDIN, YOU’RE SIMPLY NOT IN THE RUNNING FOR MANY OF THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES”
​– Consult Recruitment

Yes, being on LinkedIn is one thing. A very important thing. Being on there with a strong profile that reflects the role you’re looking to get, is just as important!
 
Here’s the detailed overview from LinkedIn on how to do it.

But it’s way nicer to watch the vid from Millenial LinkedIn expert Michaela Alexis:

ACTION STATIONS

Your turn, switch the 'knowing' into 'doing' ... 
  1. Get yo'self on LinkedIn
  2. Update your profile to suit their algorithm in 2020 (see the two links above on 
  3. Updated it as you gain new skills or want to move into new areas
  4. Be active on there – genuinely so though, like, follow and comment on things connected with your career goals
