10:10:18// Shailly Sharma : i change post as per the priority
10:11:54// Gretchen Mays : How do we know which of our skills are not on Linked In’s list?
10:12:00// Sheila Robinson to All panelists : I post what I’m working on but unfortunately get a lot of solicitation from 3rd party agencies (that I can’t use) or interested talent from outside the US
10:13:27// Sean Rehder : To find “missing” skills, I think if you just do a search and see if it comes up as a filter option.
10:15:51// Gretchen Mays : Does job title Recruiting vs. Talent Acquisition make a difference in terms of being found?
10:18:10// Catherine Hansen to All panelists : I’ve noticed Talent Acquisition is used heavily in the tech industry (just like People Operations vs Human Resources). Have you noticed this?
10:21:00// Sean Rehder : I see Talent Acquisition or TA used a lot, yes.
10:21:43// Catherine Hansen to All panelists : Eric, could you over again how you navigated to the screen you are in? I assume this is Linked In Recruiter?
10:22:38// Sean Rehder : its the free LinkedIn he’s in.
10:22:55// Sean Rehder : I’ll ask him to show how he got there again
10:23:32// Gretchen Mays : CONNECTIONS TAB helps you sort your connections?
10:30:21// Sean Rehder : Gretchen…I don’t think the Connections tab helps that much. It’s limiting IMHO.
10:30:36// Fal Patel : I have to drop for another call. Will a recording be sent out?
10:32:03// Sean Rehder : Yes…I’ll be recording it and posting it today at www.Recruiting.Work

10:37:21// Shailly Sharma : thank you
10:38:06// Shailly Sharma : how can we search for non visa candidates?
10:38:48// Catherine Hansen to All panelists : Could you possibly recap keyword search again – which screen is this done in?
10:40:36// Jessica Marotta to All panelists : That is amazing Eric!
10:41:09// Jessica Marotta to All panelists : Super surprising about that. What is the value of 1 day posting?
10:43:22// Gretchen Mays : best way to search for recent college grads at a certain college or students currently taking classes at a local college?
10:44:33// Saundra Ramsey : Its wanting me to enter an email address for them.
10:45:52// Sean Rehder : The email address should only be for those that require it…I think.
10:46:21// Shailly Sharma : where do we see that we have common groups?
10:48:17// Jessica Marotta to All panelists : I have never withdrew a connection request in LI – where do you find this
10:48:39// Ajay kumar : I think it is 3 weeks for sending a invite again for same person after withdrawing.
10:50:10// Jessica Marotta to All panelists : All the questions
10:50:18// Jessica Marotta to All panelists : Given followers are diff than connections
10:50:46// Jessica Marotta to All panelists : would you look at followers as well?
10:51:33// Becky Gramenz : Do they get a notification if you disconnect with them?
