Will you try this method? Have you tried this method before? I'd love to hear how it goes for you.

Hi Kamara. I requested a service from you site. But no respond yet

[@thatswhatshesaid]

@@EVANA11RAHMAN1 please send me an email directly at [e-mail].

[@erikaruv22]

thanks. I'm going to try this, I've been searching for a job for over a year now and after hundreds of applications I've had no luck.

[@thatswhatshesaid]

Hundreds of applications sounds like A LOT and like we might have a career clarity issue at hand - what is your target job?

[@erikaruv22]

@@thatswhatshesaid I'm switching careers. I work in healthcare in direct patient care and want to switch to remote work with a healthcare company either as a medical records specialist or data entry.

[@drista_drist]

This is great advice. I've been doing this lately as I search for a new career. But even if the recruiter likes you, it's the hiring manager that makes the final decision.

[@thatswhatshesaid]

Thanks! That’s true, but recruiters have a great deal of influence in the hiring manager’s decision as the hiring manager sees them as an advisor/partner.

KAMARA this is amazing!!! I know those people... LOLOLOL!! Love it! EXCELLENT TIPS!

[@thatswhatshesaid]

Lol thank you Amy! And also thank you for allowing me to highlight your profile for a deeper look!

Very informative video! I couldn’t have said it/demonstrated it better myself. 😊 Thanks Kamara!

[@thatswhatshesaid]

Thank you Ricklyn!! That means so much. I’m loving your posts on LinkedIn - keep them coming!

[@JalissiaB]

[@TiPiPiRiT]

What if you know who the hiring manager migtt HT be , but unable to pinpoint the recruiter? Is it ok to reach out to the hiring manager?

[@thatswhatshesaid]

Great question! In this case, yes go right to the hiring manager since you only know who they are. But when they send you/introduce you to recruitment/talent acquisition, continue to go through recruitment/talent acquisition as your central point of contact.

[@TheBankersAssociation2021]

Good info

[@thatswhatshesaid]

Thanks!

[@ysethi92]

Hello Kamara, thank you so much for the informative video. If a company has no person from a talent or recruiting background on LinkedIn, who should I contact? Can I message a technical member of the same team I applied to? Anything specific I should say to that person? Please help.

[@thatswhatshesaid]

Great question! Yes I would reach out to whomever seems like the most likely hiring manager/future supervisor. If they have any HR at all, then I would look for and reach out to their HR Generalist or HR Coordinator as well.

[@palworld_gaming]

Thank you 🙏

[@thatswhatshesaid]

My pleasure!

[@hotwasabi1085]

Is it okay to reach out to multiple people with basically the same message? I am having a really hard time narrowing down who the right person to contact is.

[@thatswhatshesaid]

Yes. Though I'd aim to customize it a bit (ie. include a sentence that mentions why you are reaching out to that specific person and make sure you tailor it for each person you reach out to). That way you can prevent looking "spammy".

[@hotwasabi1085]

@@thatswhatshesaid thank you!

[@sudiptasom2997]

Can we filter recruiter in the same way in linkedin app ? I didn’t see the same option in app

[@thatswhatshesaid]

No but the main search will still render decent results. Try [company name] recruiter or [company name] talent acquisition.

[@benyamin4634]

hey thanks for the video. so i tried to implement this approach and i think the search behavior now is different, i couldn't search more than one work in the search box. so in this case do you have and ideas of how i should find the required recruiter??

[@thatswhatshesaid]

Can you clarify what you mean “couldn’t search more than one work”?

[@benyamin4634]

@@thatswhatshesaid sorry for the typo. i wanted to say that the linked-in search behavior has changed. if you go to the people tab in a company you can see that you can't search more than one "word" in the search input. any ideas on how to find out the recruiter with just one word???

[@thatswhatshesaid]

​@@benyamin4634 understood. I think I see what you mean. Depending on what your target role is, I would try "recruiter," then "sourcer," then "talent acquisition," "technical recruiter" if you're targeting a technical role. If you're a new/recent grad try "campus recruiter." There are many potential and it comes down to getting to know what different specialties name their recruiters.

[@lauradembinski186]

Kamara, Thank you for this information but when I follow your instructions and search for a recruiter LinkedIn has it blocked where I can't access the individual or even see there name. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

[@thatswhatshesaid]

Tell me the company you’re searching and I’ll try on my end.

[@lolag0227]

Do you need a Premium account for this? It doesn’t allow me to see any of the recruiters once I search.

[@thatswhatshesaid]

No you don’t. Which company are you searching? I’ll take a look.

[@lain2k3]

Is this worth my time if I am trying to change careers and am not totally qualified? How would the approach change?

[@thatswhatshesaid]

Need more info. What are you doing now and what do you want to transition to?

[@lain2k3]

@@thatswhatshesaid I've been teaching for six years, but now I'm open to switching into a project coordinator, customer success specialist, or business analyst position. I have different resumes for each position, but my LinkedIn obviously has to stay in the middle. Thanks!

[@Gunluver]

If only the video you didnt spend half the video talking about the recruiter instead of what we came here to see. This is the problem with youtube account now a days. Why cant you just start the video explaining how to do the task you titled your video???

[@thatswhatshesaid]

How about you learn to understand your audience FIRST and you might have a better job search? You're welcome.
