LinkedIn is a powerful tool for career advancement, but knowing how to use it effectively is key. Here are some essential dos and don'ts to help you maximize your LinkedIn presence: Dos: - Optimize Your Profile: Use a professional photo, craft a compelling headline, and write a detailed summary that highlights your skills and experiences. - Network Actively: Connect with industry peers, engage with content, and participate in LinkedIn groups to build your network. - Share Valuable Content: Post articles, share insights, and celebrate achievements to position yourself as an industry expert. - Personalize Connection Requests: Instead of using the default message, add a note explaining why you’d like to connect. Don'ts: - Avoid Overposting: Maintain a balance; too many posts may overwhelm your network. - Neglect Engagement: Simply posting without interacting with others’ content can hinder relationship-building. - Ignore Your Profile: Keep your profile updated with recent accomplishments, skills, and endorsements. - Spam: Don’t send mass connection requests or promotional messages that can turn off potential contacts. Implementing these dos and don’ts can significantly enhance your professional image and open new career opportunities. #LinkedInTips #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalBranding #Networking #JobSearch #LinkedInStrategy Tony Seminary, Aliina Johnson, Gina Veillet (Summers), Jackie N., Liesl Coates, Paul Holland

Hey Gang! Happy Tuesday – hot new post! 3522 Financial Reporting Manager https://ow.ly/rrh150VjYnI Aliina Johnson Gina Veillet (Summers) Jackie N. Paul Holland Liesl Coates Tony Seminary

The recruitment landscape is changing rapidly with new technologies streamlining processes—from AI-driven resume screening to virtual interviews and data?driven decision making. While these innovations help many recruiting companies theoretically identify top talent faster and offer an enhanced candidate experience, they aren't used currently at IT Motives. Why? Traditional recruitment methods remain vital. Personal connections, in?depth interviews, and human intuition continue to play a crucial role in assessing cultural fit and building long-term relationships. By blending some technology ( Gen AI as a personal assistant and of course ATMs/CRMs for example) with tried?and?true practices, recruiters can achieve a balanced and effective hiring strategy. Embrace the best of both worlds for a holistic approach to talent acquisition! #RecruitmentTechnology #HRInnovation #TalentAcquisition #TraditionalRecruitment #DigitalRecruitment #FutureOfWork Tony Seminary, Gina Veillet (Summers), Aliina Johnson, Jackie N., Liesl Coates, Paul Holland

Good morning gang and Happy Friday. ? I wanted to let you know icymi that tomorrow is International Women’s Day. To celebrate tomorrow, my team @ IT Motives has a paid day off today. Most of my staff are women and we proudly honor and celebrate women, diversity, the underrepresented. DEI has been part of my entire life. My Mom was a fervent champion of women’s rights all the way back to the 1970s when it wasn’t a popular thing. She was a pioneer. ? So Thank You to all the women in my life past and present for all you do and who you are. I see you. My team sees you. Many others see you. Thanks as well for raising our kids, especially when there wasn’t always a father in the home. We appreciate and love you. #Internationalwomensday Aliina Johnson Gina Veillet (Summers) Jackie N.

Building a Strong Employer Brand: Key Strategies for Success In today’s competitive talent market, a great employer brand can make all the difference. A well-defined brand not only attracts top candidates but also retains the talent that drives your business forward (Churn costs businesses A LOT of money and time.). Here are key strategies to enhance your employer brand: - Define Your Core Values: Clearly articulate what your company stands for. Your mission, vision, and values should resonate with both current employees and prospective candidates. - Showcase Your Culture: Highlight what makes your workplace unique—be it innovative projects, career growth opportunities, or community engagement. Ping pong tables and fridges full of energy drinks aren't culture. Authentic storytelling through employee testimonials and behind?the?scenes content can foster genuine connections. - Leverage Social Media and Digital Platforms: Utilize platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and your company blog to share your success stories, initiatives, and industry insights. Consistent, high?quality content builds credibility and engagement. - Invest in Employee Experience: Happy employees are your best brand ambassadors. Read that again to make sure it lands. Regularly gather feedback, offer professional development opportunities, and cultivate a positive work environment to drive retention and advocacy. - Engage with Your Community: Participate in industry events, sponsor local initiatives, or host webinars. Building relationships both online and offline helps extend your reach and reinforces your brand identity. Invest in your employer brand today and watch how it transforms your recruitment outcomes tomorrow.
