How Recruiters Can Boost Their Engagement on LinkedIn

1. Write personalised connection requests

One of the biggest bugbears that potential candidates and clients experience on LinkedIn is receiving connection requests with either no message or a generic copy and paste message which isn’t personalised to the individual.
