Linkedin recommendations, useful? [closed]
- by scottyab
Linkedin has been around a few years now and while not everyone is keen on it. Chatting to a few people they viewed Linkedin recommendations as mutual back starching where poor candidates can recommend each other and and provide little value.
I take a honest approach when recommending colleagues, trying to note specifics that person has performed well at and don't recommend colleagues on linkedin who wouldn't recommend in real life.
What regard do people hold the Linkedin recommendations? would it effect your hiring decision?
