So if you know how to approach properly to recruiters via Direct message it gives you more advantage to other candidate.

Who should I message?

If you are Jobseeker it is a very important questions that you should know. If you want to message a hiring manager about a particular job advertizement, just look and check to see if there is any information about who has posted it and look for the body of the text or into the description.  If your inquiry is more general, or if you can’t find the name who posted the advertisement, then search the company’s employee list for any of these roles: 

➡️ Head of Talent

➡️ Recruiter

➡️ Director of People & Talent

➡️ Human Resources / HR Manager

➡️ Hiring Manager

➡️ Recruitment Manager

If you message someone with one of these positions, there is a big chance that this people might be able to help you. Or at the very least, they will be in the same department as someone who can.  Alternatively, if you might want to reach out to an independent recruiters, someone who finds job candidates for multiple businesses in a particular company and location.  This strategy will work better when you and the recruiter share something in common, such as a connection or a former employer.

Want Recruiters to Contact You?

Everyday Recruiters receive hundreds of messages everyday from different possible qualified candidate.

Your chance are low if your try to compete among to this candidate.

But how to stand out among of this candidate.

✔ Write a Catchy title and Keyword rich and interesting subject in your Direct message.

If something hits from recruiters notification and he or she read your catchy title the Recruiters gives a more time reading those messages rather than a simple direct messages.

 ✔ ALways keep connection open

If possible you must keep your internet connection active for faster responds to your recruiters message.

It is must better to know exact time, contact information that the recruiters have, so you must know the time when your recruiter available hours.

✔ Don't spam messages

Do not spam message especially when you do Direct Messages to recruiters.

Send 1 to 2 messages per day so that if someone floods your first message the recruiters will easily read your messages.

It's to irritating when you do flood messages and a low chance to read your inquiry.

✔ Send Direct Messages at night time

This is a powerful information that you must read, A lot of Recruiters has a lot of free time at night even though when they are rest they can easily read your messages in the morning before they went to thier office works.

At this point you have a higher chance to get hired that particular day rather that candidate that send Direct message all day.
