Checkout my video below on Three Ways Staffing Professionals Can Use Linkedin Today, and consider registering for my free seminar on Building Profitable Web 2.0 Activities into Your Daily Work Lives with the New Jersey Staffing Association at the Edison Sheraton Hotel on June 22, 2010 from 8a-10a.  Through June, I’ve been working with recruiters and salespeople from three different New Jersey-based staffing companies to improve their use of Linkedin, Twitter, and Facebook.  At the seminar we’re going to share with you what we did, what worked, what didn’t, and what our plans are going forward.  You’ll see that social media is an important part of many staffing firm’s strategies to build longterm profitability and relationships.

Just to recap, three things you as a staffing industry professional should do today on Linkedin are:

• Get your Linkedin profile 100% complete by:

  • Uploading a photo.
  • Adding a keyword rich professional summary with specialties listed.
  • Updating your professional experience with descriptions.
  • Requesting recommendations.

• Import your contacts from Outlook, Gmail, or whatever you keep your professional contacts in.
• Search for people, follow companies, and join targeted groups to connect with candidates, prospects, and clients.

Join me, the three staffing professionals I’m currently working with, and many more of your peers in the staffing industry at the Edison Sheraton Hotel at 8am on June 22, 2010 for NJSA’s Building Profitable Web 2.0 Activities into Your Daily Work Lives.  We’ll be sharing many more profitable and actionable ways you and your staffing company can be using Linkedin, Twitter, and Facebook today!
