Linkedin is a great resource to make professional contacts. Most recruiters are taking advantage of this vast network of professionals. On a daily basis we are advertising our jobs, direct-connecting and requesting introductions. For an IT market the size of Louisville's this means we're essentially connecting with and advertising to the same group of people. It's an important group of people that we definitely want to get to know.
There's another, equally important group of people that the best recruiters can find. This group of people hasn't taken the time to make themselves known on linkedin or facebook or any other networking site. They're out there working and not giving much thought to connecting with others. They may not be happy with their job, but they may not be giving it much thought. They may just be too busy to think about it. Are you confident your recruiters are uncovering these people too? I hope you are.
