WHAT DO YOU THINK? As the old saying goes, 'it's not what you know, it's who you know'. What's more important?
Personally, I think both are equally important, but your professional network can provide you with a significant advantage, promote your success & allow you to fulfil your potential.
As a job seeker, leveraging your professional network is certainly important. According to research, more than 80% of job vacancies are filled through professional network connections. 70% of vacancies are not published publicly. If you're not leveraging your network, you're waiting in an application queue & relying on probability for success. With recruiter success rates at 25%, 75% of their candidates are not successful...OUCH!
As a hiring manager, using your professional network to recruit enables you hire trusted resources quickly & efficiently, saving you time from reviewing an endless pile of resumes from unknown candidates. Saving time also saves cost, which is a high priority on corporate radars.
Are you leveraging your professional network successfully, or is this one of your professional blind spots that needs some attention? Talentology can help!
