📚 Reading

Here are a few things that I've been reading this week:

💬 Messaging best practices for real world LinkedIn outreach

Mike “Batman” Cohen, Founder, Wayne Technologies and messaging guru, shares his tips, tricks, and best practices for how to message groups of prospects and still make the messages sound custom.

💯 Sourcing on Twitter: A short guide to get you started

Twitter is a great place to find professionals who’re interacting with the community as part of their daily work — Product Marketing, Product Managers, Sales Engineers, Community Leaders, etc. Learn techniques to source candidates from Twitter.

✨ How many hashtags should you put in your LinkedIn posts?

This is based on an analysis of 4.988 million LinkedIn posts in more than 100 countries. The probability of getting 100 likes or comments on a LinkedIn post is 3.307% when you have a network of fewer than 25,000 followers. To increase this probability, you have to keep in mind these 3 rules:

  1. Absolutely more than 0 hashtags!

  2. Ideally 3

  3. Beyond 3 hashtags, the impact is negative, but the difference is not very significant on the number of likes and comments

🔥 How to increase offer-join ratio with Reverse interviews

Want to increase your joining ratio? Think beyond a carrot and stick approach and use things like "reverse interviews" to increase your joining ratio naturally. Read more about it in this post!

📝 How to evaluate senior tech candidates without a coding test?

🧵 Hiring managers: there’s no reason to force people with 10+ years experience to take coding tests. You can’t last 10 years if you can’t ship code. Here are some better approaches.

Nicholas lists strategies to give experienced devs the chance to show you what makes them great rather than putting them through a coding challenge that is best suited for folks without much experience. What are your thoughts on this?


🚀 Recruitment tool/plugin of the week

Every week I recommend one plugin, tool, or product that can help recruiters become better at work:

Checkout SalesQL — A FREE extension that helps find contact information from LinkedIn users. It's my favorite and gives a good chunk of free contacts(100 contacts) per month.

Start Now, It's FREE →
