thank you for sharing!
1. Study recruiter’s profile
find something that you have in common
2. Draft your 300-character connection request
3. Follow-up with a question on how you can make their job easier
special note: if the recruiter doesn’t the response you, just let it go

[Ryckabhere]

This was great! The most helpful tidbit was researching the recruiter's profile and finding similarities for the initial connection.

[davidm]

Thanks for this video. In this video you say about connecting by talking about something in common, like here it was a university both studied at. If one does not have any commonality, what he/she needs to do to start of a conversation.

[rohitmaity]

Great advise on connecting with recruiters. I have used your advise and gotten a step closer to my dream job. Thank you.

[MastertheJobSearch]

Thanks so much for sharing. I'm shocked how many people don't make an effort to find something in common to connect on. Great advice!

[comicgeniousfan]

Thank you so much! I’m a university student trying to find a job and this was really informative!!

[mathieugokas]

Thank you so much, I'm currently going for my MBA and I'm trying to not be over qualified getting a job!

[archengine]

As a recruiter myself the only thing I would have to disagree with is the blacklisting comment. While we may get annoyed with the constant emails our job is not to prevent anyone from finding a position so we would never blackball anyone it’s simply contradictory to what our job is.

[redburtley]

It's simple. Just reached out to them. Recruiters are salespeople. They need numbers.

[milosvukadinovic]

I believe that would be useful to add CC (Subtitles/Closed Captions) to your videos. Your talk is quite fast and for a nonfluent English speaker, some words can be missed. There is also a great opportunity for non-English speakers to more learn and practice the English language with the CC option.

OK how am I meant to relate when I am from a completely different country?

[finestfotosllc.]

Great Suggestions, T.J; any chance you can provide those slides which I would totally give you credit???

[roy]

What if the only commonality is the firm in which they are working for? I mean, the firm in which they are working for, is the same firm I wish to work for in the future. How to go ahead with the connection request then?

[Katie-tb]

What if a company is a start up and doesn't have recruiters, would you reach out to the founders?

[ParisianStreets]

I want to know what made them not connect with me.

[mohannadbakbouk]
