Want to know how to send a PERSONALIZED connect request to RECRUITERS on LinkedIn?
Like this….
1. Start with “Dear (Name),”
Or
“Hi (Name).”
2. Briefly introduce yourself:
Who you are + What you do.
If you know the person, explain how
you know them or who gave you their
name.
3. Explain briefly why you are seeking to
connect. People are more likely to
accept requests that are focused,
rather than random “grow my network”
ones.
4. Thank the person for their time and end
on a pleasant/kind note.
“I hope you enjoy the rest of your day”
etc etc.
This applies to all connect requests, and it also applies to ALL types of direct message on LinkedIn, including those to recruiters.
Do NOT send “Hi” “ How are you?” messages without substance.
This is LinkedIn, not WhatsApp, and definitely not Tinder!
Follow 1-4 for all messages if you want to get an answer!
In Life if you want to connect, you need to PERSONALIZE it!
