Linked In disconnection

[Doggy Styles]

I've been endorsed by a Bob that I've never heard of.

And had unknown Bobs wanting to be my friend (or whatever it's called on LinkedIn)

I noticed one pimp on LI this morning had added a new skill for themselves called "Candidate generation".

"searching our database" or "received email from candidate" might be more accurate.

Or getting people sacked so they become candidates?

Or "Made up a new candidate to get on your PSL".

Anyone can endorse anyone. It proves nothing.

Of course it proves nothing. That doesn't mean agents won't use it as a factor when trawling through data though.

It's funny you should mention it actually - I just spotted that an agent had endorsed me on LinkedIn also. This was an agent who's found me a few gigs, and it was for a relevant skill though.

Is this something new gonig around, agents endorsing people? I've not seen it happening before.
I wonder if it's to try to exploit something in LinkedIn's stats or something. I'm guessing LinkedIn counts you as "more important" if you've been endorsing other people, perhaps.

I think it's in the hope you endorse them back.

I seem to get an email every day telling me he's endorsed me for something or other, so I looked at his profile and I thought hang on, I don't have a clue who you are, so why are you connected to me.

Thanks for sharing.

Have you told us what you had for breakfast yet?

Some agent who I don't know keeps "endorsing" me on linked in for skills I didn't know I have, so I have disconnected him.
