People who don\u2019t need a job can bide their time until something perfect comes along \u2014 and that\u2019s not a job or a position, but an opportunity. When you reach out to candidates on LinkedIn, talking about opportunities clearly and compellingly will get them to sit up and take notice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/blog\/2016\/06\/social-sourcing\/?LS=Website&amp;LSD=Blog_AU&amp;LA=Blog_AU_20_11_13&amp;LAD=Blog_AU_20_11_13&amp;utm_source=blog_au&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=blog_au_20_11_13\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sending a LinkedIn recruitment\u00a0message<\/a> about an open position isn\u2019t enough \u2014 instead, offer specific details about the opportunities the position can deliver. Those opportunities could include stretch goals on an accelerated timeline, increased impact on an organisation, greater recognition, or advancement opportunities.
