Hello Friends
What a crazy month for me! I will share my personal update at the end of this letter so I can dive immediately into the LinkedIn feature changes. August was a big month for new features. So why wait?
LinkedIn Updates - August 2022
For Organizations:
👉 Upgrade your event strategy with advice from LinkedIn...... and learn about their new Events Framework. Learn more here
👉 For Groups: Streamline the acceptance criteria and process; set up an automatic welcome message in your group. Nice.
👉 Diversity Nudges: Companies that hire with LinkedIn Recruiter can get nudges to more easily find DE&I candidates.
👉 Meet the Hiring Team: Display the hiring manager and team profiles on job postings.
👉 LinkedIn launched the LinkedIn Collective for B2B marketers.
For Careerists and Job Seekers:
👉 Career Milestones Display: This is being tested.
👉 Demonstrate Transferrable Skills - This is a new BETA feature. Find it in your skills section. It allows you to highlight Sales, HR, Marketing, or Project Management.
Interesting for all of us:
👉 Template option for posts: This is a new content option. Here is the information, and my example in this post.
👉 Carousel posts! Mix texts, images, and videos for a powerful post. Will be available to everyone in the fall.
👉 Pin top comments to post. Love this feature idea and can't wait to get it.
👉 Clickable links for posts: I just got this and will test it for you in September.
👉 Link stickers: The jury is out on this one. I will be checking it out.
👉 Discover feed: Coming your way. This should be worth exploring. Find events, newsletters, and videos.
👉 LinkedIn Contacts Manager. First, let me say that I am highly skeptical of this one. In the past, you could upload and sync your Google contacts, and now LinkedIn has expanded the functionality. But I say....WHY do this? Instead, send a personalized note. Be sure to take control of your invitations.
