Do LinkedIn influencers get hired more than the rest of us? The article seems to make that assumption. But if recruiters and hiring managers don’t like this influencer content either, maybe none of this matters and we can all just relax and ignore the LinkedIn newsfeed.
- naravara 5y agoYeah. LinkedIn tries to encourage this sort of behavior for engagement but I haven’t found my lack of engagement with it to staunch the recruiter outreach. If anything, when on the recruiting side as I review applications I use engagement with that pabulum as an indicator that this person is a BS-artist and probably wouldn’t be a good culture fit for my team. These really attention-seeking personality types tend to stir up a lot of inter-team drama in my experience. Maybe bigger companies have enough slack in the system and outlets for people to blow off steam to absorb it, but in small teams they can wreak havoc with morale.

- nexuist 5y agoRecruiters and hiring managers are the influencers. LinkedIn is a social network for HR first and everyone else second.
