Get Headhunted Using Recommendations On LinkedIn
Nov 29, 2023
Spruce up your LinkedIn game with Recommendations. It's like checking out product reviews before splurging on that online shopping spree, but for your career.
Just as good reviews nudge you towards that 'Add to Cart' button, hiring managers can't resist headhunting a profile showered with kudos.
Politely nudge your work colleagues to sprinkle your LinkedIn with compliments before you’re considering leaving (so much harder afterwards!)
It's not shameless; it's strategic. Your profile becomes the five-star resort of professional credibility and saves you so much time when you’re ready to look for a new job.
Let me make it super easy for you - Use this script to request:
Hi [Name], I hope you don’t mind me reaching out. I'm in the process of enhancing my LinkedIn profile and was wondering if you could write me a brief recommendation of our time at [insert company / project]. Your feedback would be really valuable to me.
[HINT: If it’s a close relationship and you know that someone is super busy, offer to write it for them and all the need to do is copy and paste it!].
