Happy About LinkedIn For Recruiting

"Having created the first job board on the Internet and watching/supporting the industry as President of Monster and now as Executive Director of Direct Employers Association, I have a broad view of the overall recruiting marketplace. If you are a recruiter today, you should be using LinkedIn as one of the tools in your arsenal. If you are using LinkedIn as a recruiter, you need to read this book to pick up some of the hidden nuggets that often take months, if not years to unravel."
Bill Warren, Founder and Executive Director of Direct Employers Association

"If the primary goal of recruiting and search professionals is to cash fee checks from happy clients - and it is - then 'Happy About Linked In for Recruiting' is a tremendous leap forward in making that happen. This book and the use of LinkedIn is truly an innovation in recruiting!"
Paul Hawkinson, Publisher - The Fordyce Letter (www.fordyceletter.com)

"LinkedIn is a phenomenal tool for business networkers, job seekers, and recruiters alike. Everyone has different objectives behind the networking they do. Bill Vick's book is a fantastic resource for any recruiter who wants to understand how to get the most out of LinkedIn. The book's value isn't limited to recruiters however. The book is also a great resource for job seekers desiring to maximize their exposure to opportunity by understanding how recruiters utilize LinkedIn to identify great candidates, in addition to having obvious applicability to business networkers in general."
- Ron Bates, Managing Principal, Executive Advantage Group, Inc. and #1 most connected person on LinkedIn.

"You can be sure that in my role as President of the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS) I will be recommending our members to get LinkedIn and to read and listen to this book."
Conrad G. Taylor, CPC/CTS, President, Past Chairman, NAPS

"Bill Vick and Desmond Walsh have written a very good book, one that every recruiter using LinkedIn should have. (I also think non-Recruiters may also benefit from insights in 'Happy About LinkedIn for Recruiting'.)

From its inception, I knew that if Bill Vick were to get involved, 'Happy About LinkedIn for Recruiting' would be a successful book project. Bill pulled out all the stops to interview top recruiters and sourcing professionals in the staffing industry to get their take on best practices for Recruiters who are looking to maximize the value of LinkedIn in their daily business lives.

I haven't really added up the numbers for the 7 bonuses that come with the book but, it appears that if an astute Recruiter purchased the book and used all 7 bonuses, they could make at least 10 times the cost of the book from the bonuses, alone. Of course, they could make MANY times that were they to put the book into practice.

Because there are many Recruiters on MLPF and a number of others who might benefit from a close reading of 'Happy About LinkedIn for Recruiting', I'm happy about recommending it to you, your staff, and all members of My LinkedIn Power Forum.

Kudos to Bill and Des for a job well done!"
Vincent Wright, Moderator, My LinkedIn Power Forum
