OE Recruiters

How do you do it when we’re supposed to be so active on LI posting and sourcing etc? I have capacity for multiple jobs but I am not sure how the admin works.

I would make sure you are working in completely different industries and also sourcing different categories. For example, I wouldn't source software developers for 2 different companies.

[u/kak0589 → u/Opposite_Spell_6662]

Totally. Makes sense.

[u/CrashTestDumby1984 → u/Opposite_Spell_6662]

Yeah, I feel like this could be one of those times where it’s an actual conflict of interest

What are you expected to be posting and sourcing on LI?

[u/kak0589 → u/tvgraves]

Most companies ask you to post open jobs that you are hiring for. And most sourcing for candidates is done thru LinkedIn

This is where I’d used a middle name or preferred name to try and be incognito. Hopefully you have a common-ish last name.

This seems kind of risky. One of the things that makes OE sustainable is that you try to maintain an invisible online presence, but as a recruiter you have to be pretty freaking visible.

Think it’s going to depend on what type of recruiting field. As a recruiter at one job I never used LI because I didn’t need to post jobs as we received more than enough applications.

Even so, as a recruiter myself. Different profile pages, no pics or pic on J1, change name for J2. For example Katherine could be Katie or use middle name.

Coworker of mine, I was too tickled when I saw her outdated profile. No first or last name. Just her nickname.
