LinkedIn Recruitment Tips: Maltese Edition

Imagine this: You’re sitting in your office at Tigné Point, the sun casting a warm glow over the Grand Harbour, and you’ve just been handed a list of vacancies that need filling. Fast. You turn to your trusty LinkedIn Recruiter account, but you’re not sure you’re making the most of its 2026 features. Let’s change that.

Harnessing the Power of Boolean Logic

Remember learning Boolean logic in school? Well, it’s time to dust off those skills. LinkedIn’s advanced search allows you to use AND, OR, and NOT to refine your search. For instance, try (“software developer” OR “full-stack developer”) AND “Malta” AND (“Node.js” OR “React”) to find the perfect tech candidate.

us the ‘People Also Viewed’ Feature

Ever noticed the ‘People also viewed’ section on a profile? It’s a goldmine! If you find a great candidate, explore their section to discover similar profiles. It’s like having a little recruitment assistant whispering, “You might like these too.”

Mastering the Art of InMail

InMail is your secret weapon for reaching out to passive candidates. But with a limited number of messages, you need to make each one count. Personalize your message using the recipient’s name and mention something specific from their profile. And remember, brevity is key. No one wants to read a novel in their InMail.

Utilizing the ‘Open Candidates’ Filter

Did you know candidates can signal to recruiters that they’re open to new opportunities? The ‘Open Candidates’ filter lets you find these eager beavers. Just remember to respect their privacy and only reach out if you have a relevant role.

Keeping an Eye on Job Changes

LinkedIn’s ‘Recent Activity’ section shows you when someone has changed jobs. Set up alerts for your desired job titles and locations to be notified when a potential candidate moves to a new role. Timing is everything in recruitment, after all.

So, there you have it. With these tips, you’re ready to take your LinkedIn recruitment game to the next level. Happy hunting!
