Tips On Writing An Effective InMail Message LinkedIn’s InMail messaging system is one of the easiest to use and least misunderstood tools for recruiters from practically every industry and every country in the world. InMail messages are essentially private messages that enable LinkedIn users to contact other LinkedIn users without the need for an introduction or contact information. Recruiters can sent InMails directly from the search results in Recruiter. Now that we understand what InMails are, let’s take a look at some ways that we can improve our InMail skills and write more effective LinkedIn InMails. Tips On Writing An Effective InMail Message Make a Good Introduction- one thing that many recruiters often forget in their InMails is to introduce themselves. Think of an InMail as a social interaction and, just as you would in person, introduce yourself and tell them why you are messaging them. Get the reader’s attention- in the subject line, you have an opportunity to grab the receiver’s attention and entice them to open the message. Use keywords that will get results. Remember the goal of your InMail- your goal is to strike up a conversation with a potential and that’s it. Try to keep your InMails focused and direct, that way your message will be clearly understood and effective. Be personable- let your personality show through in your InMail. Show them that you are approachable and that they are speaking to a human, not a bot. Don’t try to be overly funny in your LinkedIn InMails as this could come off as sounding like you aren’t serious about your job or about offering them a job. Personalise Your InMail Message- your InMail should be as personal as possible so your potential candidate doesn’t feel as if the message is cold and generic. One tip to make this possible is to include something unique about the candidate in the message that you found on their profile page. Close Strong- instead of ending your InMail with “Let me know if you are interested”, close with something much stronger and more presumptive. Your goal is to get a response and you want to avoid leaving the conversation open at the end. Close with something like “Are you available to take a call today at (insert time here)” and you will find that you will get much better results and more responses from potential candidates. To learn more about becoming a more effective recruiter, contact IDPP, the UK’s leading IT and Telecoms recruitment recruiting agency today.

5 Ways To Prepare For YOUR next Job Interview One of the most stressful parts of any job search is the interview. No matter how qualified you are, or how much experience you have, if you mess up the interview, you won’t get the job. If you have an upcoming interview for your dream job and you want to be prepared, keep reading and let our recruiting experts show you the best ways to prepare yourself for a job interview. Here are 5 ways to prepare yourself for an interview: Dress for the position. Find out what the dress code is at the company you are applying to and emulate that when you arrive for your interview. This way, the hiring manager can imagine you in the position since you are already dressed the part. Do not, however, underdress for your interview. If the position you are applying for is more labour intensive, wear business casual attire to the interview. Know where you are going. Knowing what floor and in what room the interview is being held is important, especially if you are running late and arriving with very little time to spare. Research both the company and the position. A couple of days before your interview, do some research on the company you are applying to. Also research the position you are applying for. This can be a big help during the interview as you will already know a little about the company including things like: what they do, what they sell, who the president or CEO is and what your specific job position requires. With this information, you can tailor your responses to the interviewer’s questions. Don’t forget to bring your resume. Do not forget to bring an updated copy of your resume to your job interview. In fact, bring a couple of copies of your resume to be safe. Practice some basic interview questions. Find a friend, your spouse, or your roommate and do a practice interview. Have them ask you some basic questions about your resume and the company or position you are applying for. Be prepared for your next job interview and remember to be as calm and relaxed as possible. This will help you say the right things, answer the questions properly and you might even land your dream job!

Settling in with GDPR The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) caused the world to tremor at the end of May this year, with dozens of emails hitting inboxes letting everyone know the new policy while requesting, nay begging, users to give their permission for data to be used. At IDPP we saw the quake close to its epicentre. With clients in IT, IT Security and Telecoms stretching across Europe and the world, and a slew of data specialists called in to make sure regulations were adhered to and policies updated, we were at the forefront of GDPR-related activity. A month or two in, and the GDPR dust has settled, leaving behind a more refined internet, where users feel just that little bit more looked after. It’s a good thing and one we are fully behind. For us, it led to one more major update - a brand new website. Recruitment websites are hardly big news, but as the first port of call for both our clients and our candidates, we’re keen to make sure we’re always keeping up-to-date with the technology and updating our content to match. Our database of jobs seamlessly integrates with the new front end to bring you the very best in IT related jobs worldwide, and whether you are a prospective candidate looking for an exhilarating new contract or a partner client, we have dedicated space for you. As 2018 solidifies itself as the year that made data secure, we’re looking forward to a second half of the year as successful as the first - for us, our clients and the first-class professional candidates we serve.

Settling in with GDPR The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) caused the world to tremor at the end of May this year, with dozens of emails hitting inboxes letting everyone know the new policy while requesting, nay begging, users to give their permission for data to be used.

The National Infrastructure Commission has published a final report into 5G and telecommunication technology. This document states that the UK has the potential to become a world leader in the 5G deployment and take early advantage of the potential applications of 5G services. Mobile connectivity is already part of our lives. At work, in social life, on travel. The world is connected. The technology market has historically provided this rapid growth, but now more than ever, the UK government wants to take that step forward by investing in 5G. In the report, the UK Government affirms: “Government must ensure the UK is 5G ready: Key Rail Routes: The railway network must rapidly improve connectivity. This is best delivered by a trackside network. Government should provide a plan by 2017, and the infrastructure should be in place on key routes by 2025. Major Roads: Our motorways must have mobile networks fit for the future. The infrastructure should be in place by 2025. Towns and Cities: Local Authorities and LEPs should work with network providers to develop approaches that enable the deployment of the tens of thousands of small cells we expect to need in our urban centres.” Chair of the National Infrastructure, Commission Lord Adonis said: “5G is the future – ultra-fast, and ultra-reliable it has the potential to change our lives and our economy in ways we cannot even imagine today. But the UK is currently languishing in the digital slow lane” Britain is 54th in the world for 4G coverage, and the typical user can only access 4G barely half the time. Our 4G network is worse than Romania and Albania, Panama and Peru. Our roads and railways can feel like digital deserts and even our city centres are plagued by not spots where connectivity is impossible. That isn’t just frustrating, it is increasingly holding British business back as more and more of our economy requires a connected workforce.” 5G offers us a chance to start again and get ahead. If government acts now we can ensure our major transport networks and urban centres are 5G ready in time to give British industry every chance to lead the world in exploiting its applications.” But none of this will matter unless we bring our mobile network up to speed. The existing system does not provide the level of coverage we will need in our connected future. We need a new universal service obligation which ensures that the mobile essentials – like text, talk and data – are available to us wherever we need them.” From connected vehicles to the internet of things, 5G will support a whole new way of communicating and doing business. The UK must not be left behind.” What we do know is: the greater the connectivity, the greater the growth and development of our society. By being at the front of this initiative, the UK is not only investing in future technological growth, but in the wider development of a connected society, looking to outpace all other countries in the area of digital technology and mobility.

On May 25th, 2018 the GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, went into effect and changed the way many companies and organisations in the UK and throughout the EU do business. While many businesses were prepared for GDPR, others, including some recruiting agencies, weren’t quite as prepared and had a difficult time understanding the new regulation and how it affected them. Those who were prepared for the GDPR and that were well informed, saw the positive changes it could make. There were still some who didn’t understand the purpose of the GDPR so we will start there and explain just what the GDPR is all about. The Purpose of GDPR Many people know the GDPR as a data protection regulation, but it is really about protecting the rights of the people. Since data privacy is a human rights issue, the purpose of the GDPR is to enforce those privacy rights and give people more control over their personal data. The GDPR provides information on some very specific rights, especially those which recruitment agencies should be aware of. These include the Right to Transparency and the Right to Access. What Responsibilities do Recruitment Agencies Have? While much of the regulation is standardised for companies and organisations in all industries, there are some responsibilities that recruitment agencies should focus on and comply with. These include: Keeping all data up-to-date and deleting it when no longer needed. Must show a legal basis for processing any customer or client data. Monitor for data breaches and report any that occur within 72 hours. Take technical measures to protect data including security precautions to prevent any possible breaches of data. Take organisational measures to protect data. This can include creating organisational policies and ensuring that training programs are in place which can guarantee that proper data protocol is being followed. The GDPR also requires some tangible tasks be completed to comply with the regulation and recruitment agencies should do the following. These are taken directly from the GDPR website to ensure accuracy and clarity. “Audit: Assess the risks that you create for others in processing their data: candidates, clients, and employees” “Action: Mitigate the risks that you create for others in processing their data: safeguarding, training, and data cleansing.” “Document: Be able to demonstrate the steps you took. Documentation is very important.” While the GDPR is not trying to make your job more difficult, it is trying to protect the personal data of those who are entrusted to your agency. By complying with the regulation and showing that you do value and protect your clients’ personal data, you should be successful in maintaining complete compliance with the GDPR.

Tips On Writing An Effective InMail Message LinkedIn’s InMail messaging system is one of the easiest to use and least misunderstood tools for recruiters from practically every industry and every country in the world. InMail messages are essentially private messages that enable LinkedIn users to contact other LinkedIn users without the need for an introduction or contact information. Recruiters can sent InMails directly from the search results in Recruiter. Now that we understand what InMails are, let’s take a look at some ways that we can improve our InMail skills and write more effective LinkedIn InMails. Tips On Writing An Effective InMail Message Make a Good Introduction- one thing that many recruiters often forget in their InMails is to introduce themselves. Think of an InMail as a social interaction and, just as you would in person, introduce yourself and tell them why you are messaging them. Get the reader’s attention- in the subject line, you have an opportunity to grab the receiver’s attention and entice them to open the message. Use keywords that will get results. Remember the goal of your InMail- your goal is to strike up a conversation with a potential and that’s it. Try to keep your InMails focused and direct, that way your message will be clearly understood and effective. Be personable- let your personality show through in your InMail. Show them that you are approachable and that they are speaking to a human, not a bot. Don’t try to be overly funny in your LinkedIn InMails as this could come off as sounding like you aren’t serious about your job or about offering them a job. Personalise Your InMail Message- your InMail should be as personal as possible so your potential candidate doesn’t feel as if the message is cold and generic. One tip to make this possible is to include something unique about the candidate in the message that you found on their profile page. Close Strong- instead of ending your InMail with “Let me know if you are interested”, close with something much stronger and more presumptive. Your goal is to get a response and you want to avoid leaving the conversation open at the end. Close with something like “Are you available to take a call today at (insert time here)” and you will find that you will get much better results and more responses from potential candidates.

5 Ways To Prepare For YOUR next Job Interview One of the most stressful parts of any job search is the interview. No matter how qualified you are, or how much experience you have, if you mess up the interview, you won’t get the job. If you have an upcoming interview for your dream job and you want to be prepared, keep reading and let our recruiting experts show you the best ways to prepare yourself for a job interview. Here are 5 ways to prepare yourself for an interview: Dress for the position. Find out what the dress code is at the company you are applying to and emulate that when you arrive for your interview. This way, the hiring manager can imagine you in the position since you are already dressed the part. Do not, however, underdress for your interview. If the position you are applying for is more labour intensive, wear business casual attire to the interview. Know where you are going. Knowing what floor and in what room the interview is being held is important, especially if you are running late and arriving with very little time to spare. Research both the company and the position. A couple of days before your interview, do some research on the company you are applying to. Also research the position you are applying for. This can be a big help during the interview as you will already know a little about the company including things like: what they do, what they sell, who the president or CEO is and what your specific job position requires. With this information, you can tailor your responses to the interviewer’s questions. Don’t forget to bring your resume. Do not forget to bring an updated copy of your resume to your job interview.
