do you want to reach out to hiring managers or recruiters and follow up on your job application?
or even sending them a spontaneous application however you aren't sure of how to find the
right person to message within the company search no more you came to the right channel
in today's video i'm gonna share with you the complete guide for finding hiring managers and
recruiters on linkedin the best way to get it started is by having in mind a role you want to
apply so let me pick up a random example from linkedin so when i click on jobs there is this
uk ecommerce manager role at christian dior that linkedin recommended based on my profile
however if you already have a company and team you want to work for in mind you can also follow the
steps from this video so in this first scenario we'll be looking for the recruiter step number
one let's bring that job post back and you can click directly on the company name at a job post
the other way of doing this will be by searching for the company name add a search bar step number
two we click now on 7.7 k employees so we just saw that we're ideally looking for one employee
amongst 8000 and what we want to do now is to make this search as tailored as possible big companies
like christian dior have several employees all over the world and we don't want to waste our time
or their time by reaching out to the wrong people so step number three we tailor our search we know
that a job from our example is based in london so we click in all filters go to locations and
search for london show results and we still have 293 results so step number four we narrow it down
even further and we'll do this by filtering on title and finding exactly what we're looking for
as we're looking for a recruiter our best chances are titles such as recruiting manager talent
acquisition human resources or human resources generalists so let's try recruiting manager first
lucky me a result at the first try so let's click on michael's profile and give it a look
everything seems to add up he's the recruiting manager for christian dior in london so my best
shot is to connect and message him getting value so far? give this video a thumbs up and comment
down below have you used this method before what if we want to find a hiring manager or
someone from the direct team on linkedin we want to ask specific questions regarding the role the
day-to-day tasks and the skills that are demanded for performing them so let's go and find them
so we'll do the exact same steps what is gonna change is the title that we're looking for on step
four here instead of looking for the recruiter we'll be looking at titles such as e-commerce
director as you might recall our example is a manager role so here we're looking for a director
as directors generally have a bigger weight on the hiring decision making so i didn't have any
success looking for any e-commerce director so let me try some team members people in this team would
be on roles such as e-commerce manager e-commerce associate manager or even e-commerce senior
manager so let's try this out and here let's try e-commerce with and without hyphen okay
not very successful results for ecommerce this can actually mean that ecommerce is a brand new
team or that it didn't exist yet in the uk which i can actually see when i remove the filter london
from my search anyways i know that a job title also included digital so let me search for that
luckier! I have two results so let's check their profile and see if there's anything
relevant for our search okay a-sophie is an admin and digital coordinator
very relevant to our search she might be part of the team will hypothetically
integrate when we join the company and then we have maria diana let's check her profile okay
maria diana is actually doing an education program interesting but not relevant for the
purpose we'll be connecting for so a-sophie is actually our girl the one it's more relevant
for us to connect with so let's now look into the best practices for connecting on linkedin
we will send them a connection request with a note will have to be brief as linkedin gives
you very limited space for your message so in that brief message here is what you can do for success:
highlight something you have in common give them a compliment and or add value for instance a check
that michael has studied at instituto marangoni and took a masters that was related to fashion
when connecting with him i can mention we're both fashion enthusiasts and looking at a-sophie's
profile i see that we both work in digital and that our first job was in lyon in france
how fun we both started our careers on france and then we moved to the uk so here's the template
that i would use hey a-sophie i see that we're both working digital and based in london i see
that you're based in france just before coming to london just like me what a coincidence would love
to connect what if you couldn't find anything in common with these people why not giving a look
to their linkedin posts i even encourage you to comment on them let's go again into acf's profile
click on see all activity and then you click on articles or posts and what to do after this? once
they have accepted your linkedin request if you want to know more check out my video right here
