LinkedIn recently announced that they were adding an “Apply With LinkedIn” button to job postings, allowing users to send their profiles directly to potential employers with the click of a link. Job seekers will be able to streamline the job application process tremendously, making it easier than ever to manage their job search. By filling out their profile in a detailed manner one time, they can then avoid having to complete multiple job applications for different companies.



Recruiters will have an easier time comparing, sorting, and storing candidate information, making the process of managing candidates much more efficient. Any recruiting organization not currently using LinkedIn may be left in the cold if they don’t jump on board soon. Many job boards across the web are also integrating LinkedIn authentication protocols into their systems, making this highly likely to become a new web standard in the near future.



Job seekers should be certain that their LinkedIn profiles are up to date and complete. Treat the LinkedIn profile with as much care and attention to detail as you would a standard resume.
