From the search results page, click the InMail link to the right of a candidate to send them a message, even if you are not connected. Use Profile Organizer to keep track of the profiles of potential candidates. From your search results page, select the profile you are interested in, then click the “Save” link on the right hand side of the screen. Select “Add to Folder” from the drop-down menu and add a note.To see and edit your saved profiles at any time, click Profile Organizer in the Profile drop-down menu. With a premium account you can also filter through applicants to find the right one by getting references from their past supervisors and co-workers. References can provide information about the candidate’s work ethic that may not be apparent from their profile alone. From the applicant’s profile page, click the “Find references” on the right side of the page, to see if you are connected to anyone who may have worked with the potential candidate in the past. Contact those connections to get references.
