3 words - go for it!

I personally avoid giving generic advice as if you do message someone they are more likely to react to a unique message. Also recruiters tend to accept most requests as they want maximum visibility when they post roles so do check their recent Linkedin activity as well

What advice I can offer - be yourself, try and stand out and ask for what you need (which is a view of current and future roles)

Best of luck

Hi there,

You would be better off if you would:

• Connect with consultants and not HR. HR cannot provide referrals
• Use emails instead of LinkedIn

You can find more on a referral strategy at the following link:

Hi there,

this is indeed a very good way to improve your chances and to gain traction - compared to other applicants.

However, I would not keep it generic like "are there any opportunities?"... Be spedific in order to get attention and feedback. I'm sure you have an idea for which level you're applying ;-) and probably as well which area of interest (i.e. which industry or cc). So if you reach out to HR you might get feedback with "insider information" as certain job ads might not yet be online or that HR is quickly checking with respective managers.

But anyways, be reminded to ask a sharp question in order to get feedback and if you get any ask how to further apply (email, website, apps other tools etc.). Because now you already have a "face" when it comes to further screening of applications, but first of all you need to be in the central HR tool / system ;-)

Hope it helps. All the best - Jasper

Dear A,

I would recommend you to contact HR through the business e-mail and apply through the web-portal, not Linkedin.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out in PM

Best,
André

Hi, I recommend reaching them through email, HR are more responsive there. With consultants instead I would try via LinkedIN
