If you’re a recruitment executive overseeing a team of young recruiters, how do you spot the Linkedin zombies among them? There’s one obvious clue – they won’t be recruiting the traditional way, by talking to clients and candidates on the telephone and in person, building genuine relationships. Instead, like zombies, they’ll mindlessly, relentlessly send generic InMails to organisations and individuals on LinkedIn, irrespective of whether they get any results.

Using Typeless, a new contact collaboration platform, you could return your LinkedIn zombie recruiters to the land of the living. Typeless imports and unifies contact data from a raft of different apps and services, including LinkedIn, Gmail, Outlook and Salesforce, making every contact you have available in one place. This means your staff will easily be able to access addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers, as well as LinkedIn profiles, giving them no excuse not to take a more human approach to recruitment. It also means that when employees leave you have an organised copy of their contacts that is available to the rest of your company.
