Recruiting with LinkedIn Jobs
I’m starting a new recruiting agency focused on accounting, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to post unsponsored job listings on LinkedIn using my personal profile. Would this method attract enough candidates? I’m also planning to use Sales Navigator for headhunting. I’m concerned that creating a business page for my agency might be challenging in terms of building credibility since it’s starting from the ground up. Any advice? Thank you!

Yes, you can post unsponsored jobs on LinkedIn using your personal profile, and many recruiters do this to attract candidates, especially when starting out. This approach can be effective, especially if you already have a strong network in the accounting industry.
Using Sales Navigator for headhunting is a great way to target potential candidates more efficiently. It provides advanced search filters that can help you find specific talent based on their skills, experience, and location.
While posting jobs through your personal profile can help you gain traction initially, creating a business page for your agency is also important for establishing credibility in the long run. A business page allows you to share insights about your agency, post company updates, and engage with a larger audience, which can enhance your visibility. To build credibility, consider sharing valuable content related to the accounting industry, such as tips for job seekers or insights into industry trends.
In the beginning, you can use both approaches in tandem—post jobs from your personal profile while gradually building your agency’s page. As you gain more connections and visibility, your agency’s credibility will naturally grow. Good luck with your new venture!
