Linkedin Training
Wednesday, December 10
Executive Conference Center on West Battlefield
The Southern Missouri Chapter of the Missouri Association of Personnel and Staffing Services (www.mapss.net) is thrilled to be able to present a LinkedIn training presentation by leading Social Media Recruiter and Speaker, Jim Durbin.
Jim Durbin is a veteran recruiter specializing in Social Media. He is an experienced expert in using social media to identify, connect with and recruit passive candidates. In this 90 minute presentation, Jim demonstrates a step by step walk-through of how to use LinkedIn. If you want to see how effective Jim is at social networking and SEO, google “Jim Durbin Recruiter!”
LinkedIn is increasingly becoming a social network of choice for businesses and passive job-hunters. In an age where e-mail and voicemail can be easily avoided, LinkedIn represents a new and exciting channel that many candidates prefer to use as an initial contact with recruiters.
The Social Media Headhunter Series is a DVD training regimen based on live walkthroughs of social media tools. Training is broken into easily understood chapters.
Video playback by chapter allows for quick review of key points, giving the recruiter access to the information they most need.
Chapters for LinkedIn: The World's Database include:
- Introduction to LinkedIn
- Sourcing for Candidates
- Connecting with Prospects: Messages that work
- Checking references inside LinkedIn
- LinkedIn Tools and Packages
- The Salesman's guide to LinkedIn
- Do’s and Don'ts review
- LinkedIn Marketing
LinkedIn has the potential to be a game changer in the recruiting industry. While many recruiters have signed up on LinkedIn, very few are using the site to identify and source passive candidates. Learn from one of the few who actually also works a desk every day.
The meeting will be at the Executive Conference Center located at 910 West Battlefield here in Springfield. There is ample free parking. Networking begins at 9:30 and the program starts at 10. The program will last approximately 90 minutes, followed by a question and answer session.
The cost including the LinkedIn DVD is $89 for MAPSS members and $99 for non-members. To join MAPSS go to www.mapss.net. Please send all checks or cash to:
