Training LinkedIn Recruitment (Sourcing & Search)

Organisations pay for LinkedIn Recruiter seats without blinking. Training for the people behind them rarely makes the budget.

Your team runs the same searches, sends the same InMails and meets the same silence.

It isn’t LinkedIn, and it isn’t the account. It’s an approach nobody ever explained to them.

In this one-day LinkedIn recruitment training, your recruiters learn to search, approach and follow up so candidates reply. Plan a 30-minute call and we’ll shape the day around your vacancies.

What does this LinkedIn recruitment training give your team?

1. Your recruiters find the candidates other teams overlook.
2. More candidates reply to their InMails and messages.
3. The team works with a follow-up sequence instead of loose messages.
4. You get more out of the accounts you already pay for, and you know when an upgrade makes sense.
5. Everyone knows what is safe to automate and what puts an account at risk.
6. Hiring managers and clients receive a shortlist that fits, sooner.

In short: less searching, more conversations.

LinkedIn recruitment training programme

Four blocks in a logical order. We tune each block to your team’s level and vacancies.

1. Your profile as a business card

Before candidates reply, they look at the recruiter. The profile works for or against you.

• Sharpening the profile from the candidate’s point of view
• A pitch that fits the people you look for
• Building a network that makes the work easier
• Using LinkedIn for labour market analysis

2. Finding people with Boolean search and filters

Most recruiters gain the most in this block. They also discover their biggest mistakes here.

• Boolean search with our success formula
• Which filters to use and which to leave alone
• Creative searches for scarce profiles
• Finding anyone, also with a free account
• How LinkedIn works and how to get around its restrictions
• Personal feedback on the team’s own searches

3. Approaching and following up

One message is not an approach. An approach is a sequence that fits the candidate.

• How to build a first message that gets a reply
• A follow-up sequence that never turns pushy
• Subject lines and messages that work, with examples
• Finding contact details and reaching candidates outside LinkedIn, also for free
• Personal feedback on the team’s own InMails

4. Getting more from your LinkedIn accounts

LinkedIn earns billions from recruiters who pay too much. Your team stops being one of them.

• What LinkedIn doesn’t tell you
• The differences between paid accounts, and when an upgrade pays off
• Tips for LinkedIn Recruiter (Lite) and Sales Navigator
• Settings and tools that save time every day
• What is safe to automate

Frequently asked questions

My recruiters have used LinkedIn for years. Is this LinkedIn recruitment training for them?
Yes, as long as they are open to learning. Experienced recruiters usually name five to ten techniques they didn’t know before.

Some of my team are new to LinkedIn. Does that work in one group?
Yes. We start with the basics. By the end of the day, everyone has the knowledge to work at an advanced level.

Do you cover specific LinkedIn Recruiter features, such as projects?
The biggest gain lies in how your team uses the tool: better searches, more replies to InMails, smarter follow-up. That is where we spend most of the time. Specific features come up where they matter for the approach, not as a goal in themselves.

Does everyone need a paid LinkedIn account?
No. All techniques also work with a free account. Your team learns when an upgrade makes sense and when it doesn’t.

Can you tailor this LinkedIn recruitment training to our vacancies?
Yes, in English or Dutch. For recruitment agencies and corporate teams, we adapt the programme to your own vacancies and approach.
