Bullhorn Reach Radar:
Making numerous changes to a LinkedIn profile and/or adding multiple recommendations in a short period of time can be indicative of someone that is beginning to look for new employment.
One way is to use Bullhorn Reach’s Radar.
Radar isolates key LinkedIn profile updates (and Facebook too if you connect it) so you are automatically notified of updates and recommendations within your network.
Bullhorn Reach’s Radar is a simple way to automate the identification of such LinkedIn profile activity.
Of course, Radar is limited to your network, so if you’re not connected to your target talent pool, you won’t gain any/much insight.
