Welcome, Tiina Jarvet, to the UpLift Live podcast. Thank you so much for being here. You are going to be one of our speakers, one of our international speakers at the UpLift Live conference in Birmingham next year. Tiina, tell me, what do you know about LinkedIn? Well, John, thank you so much for inviting me to be a speaker on the conference. I'm so excited about it. And equally excited I am about LinkedIn and LinkedIn Recruiter. I've worked with recruitment and with executive search, and I've been using LinkedIn my whole career. So, I'm so excited to share what's going on behind the scenes. What do recruiters do when they use LinkedIn, and how people can optimise their profiles. Yeah, fantastic. I mean, I've known you for ages now. And you to me, just not like any other recruiter, you are a proper headhunter, you really know LinkedIn very, very well. And it'll be great to get your take on things about how recruiters really use LinkedIn. You have already very kindly done a private session for our Espresso+ community, which I very much appreciate. This will be you on the stage giving all of the secrets about recruiting and searching. So, really looking forward to that. Can you give us any kind of insight about the kind of stuff that you're going to talk about in Birmingham? Well, there are so many myths about how recruiters and headhunters use LinkedIn and how people's profiles are found. And I really want to tell what's actually going on, and how, what are the tips and what is important, because sometimes you get a lot of information from people who actually don't work with LinkedIn Recruiter. It's just by guessing what companies could be looking for, but actually to show what is important, and which are the tools and which parts of your profile you should be focusing on. Because there are some things that are really important to optimise your LinkedIn presence. Nice one, and let me get this right, you are a Top Global Talent Acquisition Voice. That's a bit of a mouthful on LinkedIn. Is that correct? Yes. So, it's really about being part of the conversation on LinkedIn, and helping people to understand what is actually going on, that LinkedIn, it's, really the place where people connect for job search, but also for other opportunities, career opportunities, and if you get your presence right, optimising your profile, then there are big chances that you will be found. That's how I work. I work with people who are not actively looking but who get opportunities in their inbox, based on their experience, and industry. Fantastic. And let me just confirm as well, Tiina, that although you speak 9 languages, you're going to be delivering in English in Birmingham. And you're just super, super talented and I hope this conveys the gravity of this event that we're not just going to get any old speaker. We're bringing in international speakers. Tiina is coming all the way over from Belgium to speak to us in Birmingham next year. So, if you want to grab a ticket, now is the best time, and go to uplift-live.com.
