LinkedIn #hashtags to help your content be seen. When someone you’re connected to on LinkedIn uses a hashtag you follow, you’re more likely to see their content. So, when you make posts on LinkedIn, it makes sense to add some hashtags. But not just any hashtags, you...

We are rebranding and changing the company name from Sourcing Hat to Cup & Sourcer! Here's why. In 2012 I registered Sourcing Hat as a limited company. I’d been debating a name, and nothing felt right until this idea dawned on me. I had talked about putting my...
As a recruiter, your time is valuable. You have a lot of responsibilities, from sourcing and screening candidates to coordinating interviews and negotiating offers. It can be tough to keep up with all of the demands on your time, and anything that can help you work...
As a writer the announcement of ChatGPT back in November 2022 made my heart sink. The creativity and imagination we writers love to use, could surely not be recreated by AI tech? But having used OpenAI’s DALL.E 2 image tool, I knew there was a possibility that the AI...
Have you heard about LinkedIn's new "About this profile" feature?LinkedIn doesn't tend to shout about new features, so it's very possible that this is the first you are hearing of it. I have to say, it is something from an employer or recruiter’s point of view, that I...
When trying to find email addresses on LinkedIn I find the simplest solution is to use a Chrome Extension. Here are the 8 I have tested so far.

X-ray search should be a key part of any recruiter's talent sourcing tool kit. But what does it mean? X-ray search is one of the things I'm asked to explain most often. Many experienced recruiters don't know what it means, or why you might use it. That's OK, I'm here...
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.
This can be useful when you’re out and about – it’s so much easier to record a quick soundbite than spend ages typing a long message.
It’s also a great way to get someone’s attention with something unexpected! Half the battle for us as recruiters is standing out from the crowd.
You will need to be using the LinkedIn mobile app to send a voice message.
Simply open up the app and tap on the Messenger icon at the bottom of the screen.
Find a connection that you want to contact and hold down the microphone icon.
Hold down the microphone icon and talk normally, let go when you’re done.
That’s it! You’ve sent a voice message.
It works the same way as on Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger so this should feel pretty familiar to most smart-phone users.
Here’s some more detail about voice messages directly from the folks at LinkedIn.
Why don’t you try sending a voice message now? Perhaps there’s a candidate who’s gone quiet on you, or a hiring manager you’d love a quick update from.
Let me know how you get on in the comments.
