“People don’t leave companies, they leave managers.”
If you believe that, consider the opposite: people don’t join companies, they join managers.
Now let’s take a step back and look at LinkedIn. ~40 million people search for a job there every week.
However, the last 20 posts in my feed:
Crappy ad 1
Useless poll
Self-congratulatory business post
Mike Winnet making a joke (8/10 delivery)
Another useless poll
A Chris Walker video with some solid marketing insights
Crappy ad 2
Link to a careers site
Some guy selling his book
Some other guy talking about his kids
Crappy ad 3
Mike Winnet blasting YouTube
Pointless video meme
Yet another useless poll (hat trick!)
Crappy ad 4
Job anniversary post
Self-congratulatory personal post (good for you guy!)
Trite advice (surprised I didn’t see more of this tbh)
Crappy ad 5
Photos of someone’s day off
Notice anything missing? Perhaps a hiring manager talking about, well, anything?
I bet Chris and Mike have an easy time hiring though. Just a thought….
