How to Get Recruiters to Message YOU First (The 20-10-5 Rule)
Most people have no idea what LinkedIn networking actually is. And it's costing them jobs.
Sending connection requests isn't networking.
Messaging a recruiter saying "I'm open to opportunities" isn't networking.
And posting "I'm looking for my next role"? That definitely isn't networking.
As a former executive recruiter and hiring manager with 10+ years on LinkedIn, I'm going to show you exactly what real networking looks like, why most job seekers get this completely wrong, and the exact 20-10-5 engagement system my clients use to get hired in 60 days or less (without cold messaging strangers or spamming easy apply).
This works even if you're an introvert. Especially if you're an introvert.
In this video, you'll learn:
- Why most "networking" is actually just hoping — and what to do instead
- How LinkedIn's algorithm works and how to use it in your favour
- The 3 layers of networking that create real inbound opportunities
- The 20-10-5 daily system that grows your visibility with the right people
- The 24-hour rule that accelerates recognition and compound results
- How to send a message that doesn't feel cold (the 3-sentence approach)
- Why introverts actually have a natural advantage on LinkedIn
