Searching through LinkedIn

90 percent of the Jobs posted on LinkedIn by individual LinkedIn users are either fake jobs or expired jobs.

When you apply, you just only succeeded in wasting your time, and sharing your personal information with unknown persons. Sending applications for jobs posted on LinkedIn by individuals LinkedIn users is completely not smart job search approach.

There are two reasons why these individual LinkedIn users post these fake or expired jobs;

Always open the page of the company recruiting and check for more details, if possible visit their website to see more about them then send your application if they are genuine from what you have gathered by visiting their page and website.

There are recruitment companies that you must also get jobs from. They recruit for top firms and smaller organizations. The three we can trust and recommend are; Jobberman, ICS outsourcing, Career opportunities. Of course they are many of them both small and big in size doing excellently well, however, we have only worked with three organizations mentioned above.

You can also monitor pages of some big and smaller organizations. Most of this organizations have human resources depart that do recruitment for the company, pay salaries, benefits among other things relating to human resources for the company.

These companies do not need external recruiters to hire staff, a department in the company, hire for the company. So follow this companies and know when they are recruiting.

View the job, look through to the down side and you will see the person who posted the job on the company page, then Message him or her like this;
