LinkedIn for Recruitment + Workshops & Conferences

HOT TIPS: Using LinkedIn for Student Recruitment

​​LinkedIn is not only your personal professional brand, it's an incredible tool for student recruitment. Your institution probably has a LinkedIn presence — in addition, faculty and staff all should have profiles that also link back to the institution account. Some ideas on how to harness the power of LinkedIn for international student recruitment:

1. Partner with your alumni engagement and development teams to develop a series of short stories that share alumni student experiences at your institution.
2. Promote the work of your faculty and regularly post news items about your institution.
3. When students graduate, encourage them to connect on LinkedIn, and through these connections, build a team of ambassadors on the platform. (As ambassadors, they can then list this on their profile under Volunteer Experience.) When you share a news item, notify your networks so that it can be shared by the ambassadors.

“Please educate yourself, your family, children, and friends about racism. We are all actors of the world, and it is our duty to make the world a better place. We should all — White, Brown, Yellow, or Black — be concerned about racism because at first, we are all human beings.”

—Brenda Ametepe, a bioengineering student at Santa Rosa Junior College, shares her experiences with and thoughts about racism in her most recent blog post.
