LinkedIn, Sourcing Spell Book | 0 comments

Alternative messaging techniques came up earlier this month when I was running a session with Alex Moyle for The Recruiting Gym. I realised that not everyone knew sending a voice message was an option on LinkedIn.

Let me know how you get on in the comments.
