ERA Webinar with Vanessa Raath

Searching outside of LinkedIn

Too many Researchers begin and end their searches in LinkedIn! This is a great time waster and puts you on the ‘back foot’ from the start of any research project.

I want to show you how you can save time, and money, by using LinkedIn as PART of your research project but not as the only social media platform that you gather information from. We will be looking at how we should be starting our searches on Google or Bing, as this will yield so many more results. We can then filter these results by adding more search parameters to our Boolean search string. Once we have identified the best talent, we also do not want to stop there by sending the candidate an in mail - and hoping they see it and respond to us.

To complete the research process, we need to leave LinkedIn again to find the email address and/or mobile number of these candidates. It is a proven fact that people are twice as likely to respond to an email and reply in up to 85% less time, compared to an in mail!

Let me teach you to be a better Researcher by identifying the best talent, more effectively and efficiently than your competitors.
