#LINKEDIN PREMIUM WORTH IT FREE#

So there's no way in hell that they would ever compromise the LinkedIn Recruiter search listings (which recruiters pay about $10K/year/seat for!) to put Premium job-seekers (who are paying $30/month) above the ideal candidates.ģ) I'm using LinkedIn Free like you told me to, Jeremy - but I keep running into Commercial Use Limits. However, here's LinkedIn's second big secret: They make 6X more money from recruiters than they do from job-seekers. I totally get where this idea comes from - after all, it seems like every search engine from Google to Amazon to Indeed allows advertisers to put their listings above everyone else's. On the other hand, every single alum checks their work email 5-10 times a day (just like we all do!), so whether you find that work email via your alumni directory or free tools like Email Hunter, you actually have a better chance of getting through by not paying for InMails.Ģ) Doesn't LinkedIn Premium increase my visibility when recruiters search? Which means that even if you buy Premium, there's a pretty good chance your intended contact will never see your InMail anyway. It turns out that reaching out via InMail is actually a highly inefficient channel since LinkedIn has a little secret: It may have 1B users but only a tiny fraction of those are engaged on the platform. So let me give you the definitive answer once and for all by speaking to the three supposed 'value props' I hear the most: 1) How am I supposed to reach out to alumni without InMails? After having done over 500 LinkedIn trainings around the world, this is, by far, the #1 question I get.
