Over the last few years Linkedin has become a household name for recruiters. It’s become a crutch for some and the first and last place for most in my experience. With that said, I am a big proponent of groups. I create them,

I manage them, I grow them and yes, I place people from them; routinely.

More on how to Create, Grow, Engage and Place from your groups in another post, but today I wanted to share some great details on owning a group and distributing job feeds through to your memberships. It’s simple to do and very effective.

Pros:

  1. Members who get daily / weekly updates will see your job feed. Clearly an advantage for corporate pages / groups
  2. You can edit the job feed on the fly for customization and critical openings
  3. You can create broad feeds or very distinct feeds based on clients, location, industry etc.

Among other positives, used properly this feature will be a huge driver of traffic to your career site, postings and/or event pages.

Here is the video version on how to set up and display the job feed: (Screen shots below)

If you are the owner of a LinkedIn group or a clients LinkedIn group you have the ability to control what your members see and were you wish to drive traffic / activity.

Step 1: Click Get Started

Step 2:Enter RSS criteria including Keywords, location, company etc.

Step 3: Results can be refined by Job seekers
