simplyHired and LinkedIn

January 24th, 2006

I had no idea this kind of functionality existed on simplyHired!

Notice the bottom left corner button that reads “in Who do I know?”. It allows me to check out if I know someone at that company and can help me out with the job. [ but the problem is that post people DO NOT like being approached for such needs - if I already knew the person then it's ok of course - which then encourages me toconnect with everyone - not necessarily people I know, which cancels out LinkedIn's primary drive to encourage users to connect only if we know who we are connecting to. ]

Just an observation.
