Step Three – Reach out to your network to better position your application as an internal referral or a personal introduction to the recruiter. Making a personal connection to the company will help you stand out from the crowd of applicants.
If you have upgraded your account to include inMails, use those to reach out to a recruiter at the company and personally state your interest in the company and position. When possible, it is highly encouraged to mention someone that you have in common to gain a better response.
Step Four – Repeat different search options and continue to reach out to your network to find your perfect job!
