The document provides best practices for using InMail on LinkedIn to engage passive talent. It discusses that 80% of LinkedIn members are considered passive talent and outlines differences between active and passive candidates. The presentation recommends personalizing InMails to start a conversation rather than directly pitching a job, keeping the message short, asking for referrals, and tracking response rates for improvement. A live demo then showed how to view response rate reports in LinkedIn Recruiter.

12. InMail Best Practices
Sell the conversation, not the job!
Avoid Job or Career
Opportunity as first two words
of subject line
Start a conversation
Personalize the message
Keep it short and sweet
Offer next steps
Ask for referrals
LinkedIn is not a job board!
Avoid:
Cutting and pasting job
description or link to a job post
Directing passive candidates to
look at a job and send you a
resume
