I’m based in Pune, India.

I’ve been using LinkedIn Talent Solutions since 2011.

I’m excited to enhance my knowledge and contribute to the Talent Solutions Community!

Hi all, pleased to meet you.

   I’m Joseph, an enthusiastic Management Analyst for the FDA working from Fort Lauderdale, FL.

    I often link particular LinkedIn Learning courses for my learning cohorts and appreciate blending different modalities that are often absent from teleworking (making the process interactive instead of hoops new employees have to jump through).

    I hope the Talent Solutions Community can help me sift through the best resources (as there’s so many course- offerings out there) and contribute onboarding & upskilling to any & all in plain language.

    Looking forward to it! 

Hey everyone, my name is David, I’ve been recruiting for Public Accounting Tax Professionals since January of 2019 after I got burnt out in my own experience in public accounting. I never thought I’d be here, my original plan after high school was to major in kinesiology and be a personal trainer for professional sports athletes. 

I’m in Austin, TX and one thing I love about this city is how community oriented it is. I’ve joined a bouldering gym, a walking community, go to a monthly “internet marketing party”, and have a slew of other groups and friendships circle’s I’ve been able to form. 

I’ve been using LinkedIn Recruiter since July 2019. 

I love learning from people who are a bit further in their career journey then me, but I also love to turn around and pass that knowledge down to people who are a few steps earlier in their career journey than I am. I’m hoping to connect with a few other people in the recruiting industry who we can collaborate and learn from each other!

Hi Everyone!

My name is Chandler, and I’ve been in energy recruitment for almost 8 years. First 6 years of which were for recruitment agencies as a Top Billing Manager- starting up new renewables brands for the agency from scratch, defining and creating all marketing materials/ campaigns, identifying target clients, designing & pitching proposals, training a team of rookie recruiters- you name it, I did it! After getting somewhat burnt out, I was fortunate enough to be hired by one of the best renewable companies out there as an internal recruiter- Which I’ve been doing almost 2 years now. 

I work remotely in Austin, TX!

Currently, LinkedIn recruiter is the main tool I’m using, which I’ve used since 2017. I’ve used insights previously as well but not currently 

I’m here because I’m always looking for the latest tips & tricks in recruitment! Also- love networking with my fellow recruiters :)

LinkedIn Profile- Let’s connect!

Now in this role I can see there is so much more to the art of recruiting than I ever thought possible.
