Looking to boost your LinkedIn recruitment game and personal brand? You're in luck! Here's a friendly guide that'll not only help you win the LinkedIn algorithm but also charm your audience. And hey, get ready, you might just find a selfie or two here.


Play Nice with LinkedIn's Algorithm


Remember, it's not all about jobs there is so much more you can offer to job seekers and employers. Read on for tips that do and don't favor the LinkedIn algorithm:


Do's


  • Post at the Ideal Time Ideas - Thoughts differ, however studies suggest 9am Tuesdays and Wednesdays are best, or weekdays between 10 am to 1 pm, some even report Saturdays, early morning. You know the drill. Timing is key! (remember every industry is different so using a tool to track your actual results is the best idea).


  • Engage, Engage, Engage - Comment within two hours (7x the value of a like), reply within one hour, relaunch by commenting on your own post after 24h. Interact like a pro and see your results improve!


  • Choose Your Content Wisely - Documents beat videos, with polls, carousel, and text with visuals following close behind.



Don'ts:


  • Don't Be Too Eager: Posting too frequently or commenting on your own post too soon might decrease your reach by up to 30%. Patience is a virtue!


  • Beware of External Links: Adding external links can severely affect your reach. If you must, do it wisely and potentially post in the comments below the post.



Use Personal Touches to Win


  • Employer Branding & Personal Stories: Share what makes your company unique or a behind-the-scenes look into office life, view, team etc. Keep it real, people love authenticity!


  • Emoji's & Selfies: Yes, those smiling faces and selfies can increase your reach by 80-90%. So why not snap a quick pic while you’re at it?


  • Tagging & Notifications: Tag companies, but make sure they react within one hour. Notify employees and watch your growth skyrocket!


  • Posting as a company: Use the option: ‘notify employees' or ‘recommend to employees’ via the three dots. Increase growth of +30% if they share within 4 hours



Love Your Content, and LinkedIn Will Love You Back ❤️


Give It Time and Thought: Don't just post and run. Share why it matters, frame it well, and LinkedIn will reward your efforts.


Know this:


When someone likes your post they have +30% more visibility on your next post; if they comment, it's +70%, and if they share or repost, it's +80% so get them engaging people.


Experts recommend posting on LinkedIn at least 3-4 times a week. Remember, consistency is key, it helps you to establish your online presence and keeps you top of mind.



To wrap it up


Nobody said LinkedIn algorithms are easy, but with some love, care, and a sprinkle of selfies, you'll master it in no time! Happy recruiting! 🥳🎉 #LinkedInTips #RecruitmentMagic #PersonalBranding #EngagementMatters

We Just Broke Our Industry-Leading Core Web Vitals Record – 82%! A Deep Dive Into Our Latest Performance Enhancements We’re proud to share an exciting performance milestone: 82% of all websites built on our platform now pass Google’s Core Web Vitals assessment—a record-breaking achievement that reflects our continued investment in performance optimization and modern web standards. What Are Core Web Vitals? Core Web Vitals are a set of performance metrics defined by Google that measure real-world user experience across three key areas: Loading performance (Largest Contentful Paint – LCP) Interactivity (First Input Delay – FID) Visual stability (Cumulative Layout Shift – CLS) Passing Core Web Vitals means a website loads quickly, responds fast to user input, and doesn’t shift or jitter as it loads—making for a smooth and frustration-free user experience. What’s Behind the 82% Pass Rate? This milestone didn’t happen by chance. Our engineering and platform teams have rolled out several advanced technical improvements that directly contribute to this success. Here’s what’s new: ? Smarter Caching We’ve implemented an enhanced caching strategy that significantly reduces load times. Pages are now cached more intelligently—balancing freshness with speed—ensuring visitors experience faster page loads without sacrificing content accuracy. ? Back-Forward Cache (bfcache) Support We now support bfcache, a browser-level optimization that allows users to navigate back and forward between pages almost instantly. This improvement enhances the browsing experience by reducing perceived wait time and increasing session fluidity . ⚡ Performance-First Build Enhancements The platform’s build system has been optimized with a strong focus on real-user performance metrics. Updates include: Smaller JavaScript bundles for faster execution Image optimization through next-gen formats like WebP Prioritized loading for critical above-the-fold content Lazy loading for non-essential assets These changes ensure faster loading experiences across desktop and mobile environments. What This Means for You As a client using our platform, here’s what you can expect: Improved SEO potential due to better Core Web Vitals scores Higher user engagement from faster, smoother interactions Reduced bounce rates thanks to quicker load and response times Future-proof performance as browsers and algorithms evolve We take care of these technical optimizations behind the scenes so you can focus on delivering great content and user experiences. What’s Next? Our work doesn’t stop here. We are continuously testing, refining, and deploying backend improvements to ensure your websites stay ahead of performance standards. Expect more updates focused on accessibility, responsiveness, and technical SEO in the coming months. Thank you for building with us—and here’s to even faster, more optimized sites ahead!
