Frequently Asked Questions

What LinkedIn tools do recruiters use?

Recruiters commonly use LinkedIn Recruiter (paid), LinkedIn Jobs, and free tools for InMail templates, job posting optimization, and candidate assessment. ViralBrain's free recruiter tools focus on outreach messaging, profile optimization, and content to build a talent-attracting recruiter brand.

How do I write a LinkedIn InMail that gets responses?

High-response InMails: personalize the first line (reference something specific from their profile), keep it under 150 words, focus on what's in it for them (not the job description), and include one clear question or CTA. Templates help but always personalize the opening.

How do I build a recruiter brand on LinkedIn?

Post 2-3 times per week about: industry hiring trends, candidate advice, behind-the-scenes of your hiring process, and role highlights. Candidates who know and trust you are more likely to respond to outreach and refer others.
