a. According to LinkedIn , when it comes to writing our LinkedIn profile headline, too many of us take a “just-the-facts” approach, listing only our job title and our company in the 120 character slot – an approach they believe stops many of us from realising the true potential of the most prominent text on our LinkedIn profile after our name. .

There are only a few organizations that truly need to hire based on skill alone. The New York Yankees, for example. Major movie studios, definitely. Modeling agencies would be another one. It’s tough to win a World Series, an Oscar or land a major ad campaign with someone who doesn’t have the necessary set of skills to get there. But for nearly every other type of business, a candidate’s skills are important, but they’re not the be all, end all.

As we can see, talent acquisition professionals need to track metrics from the top of the funnel (traffic to jobs) to the bottom (hires).
