Uzone.id—Finding a job in the digital era has become more practical and efficient thanks to the presence of online job recruitment platforms, such as LinkedIn. These platforms make it easier for job seekers to find opportunities in various sectors, including startup companies that continue to grow rapidly.
For information, startups are just operating and are still in the development stage. Unlike conventional companies, which have a more structured organizational structure, startups have a more flexible organizational structure and are not bound by strict rules.
In addition, startups are now more popular with job seekers due to their more relaxed work atmosphere, compact teams, technology-integrated work, fast-paced environment, and creative problem-solving.
So, here are some tips that you can try to get a job at your dream startup through LinkedIn, including:
Optimal LinkedIn Profile
When you want to find a job, showing off your skills is mandatory because it will add selling value. Startups prefer job seekers who have the same values. Strive to create a profile on LinkedIn with complete information, relevant experience and skills, and professionally written. Add a compelling summary and use a suitable profile photo.
Job seekers can also use social media to brand themselves by sharing content related to their field or interests. In addition, with social media, job seekers can establish direct relationships with the company’s founders or employees.
Make a Connection
Furthermore, job seekers are also required to be able to network and make connections with companies. This is important in finding a job in conventional companies as well as startup companies. After making connections, job seekers can take advantage of a professional network because of its reach to be recommended to companies.
In-depth Position and Company Research
Before applying for a job, research the position and the company you want to work for. Using LinkedIn, job seekers can view status updates or previous company accounts to understand what they and the company want.
The annual list of LinkedIn Top Startups in 2024 is based on exclusive LinkedIn data, which was uploaded directly by the official LinkedIn.com website last Friday (25/09), namely:
- MySkill
- Tomoro Coffee
- SawitPRO
- Deals
- PT Sahabat Mikro Fintek
- Gently
- AGAVI
- Chickin Indonesia
- bababos
- Cetta Online Class
According to LinkedIn, the list above is designed based on four pillars: employee growth, job seeker interest, members’ interaction with the company and its employees, and how well the startup is able to attract talented employees from LinkedIn’s Top Companies.
In fact, LinkedIn recently launched a variety of new features integrated with artificial intelligence (AI). With this advanced technology, job seekers can find jobs according to resumes and get advice from AI chatbots. Unfortunately, the services provided are not free and can only be accessed by premium users.
Going forward, the company promised in a statement reported on Wednesday (6/11/2024), that LinkedIn will continue to improve search on the platform broadly with generative AI, making it easier for users to get jobs.
“With our new search capabilities, every search interaction becomes smarter. Whether you’re looking for someone, a job, doing outreach, or seeking knowledge and answers,” said Tomer Cohen, LinkedIn’s Chief Product Officer.
“AI is designed to revolutionize our search capabilities, allowing you to explore the depth and breadth of any topic directly through LinkedIn search,” Cohen added in a blog post for The Verge.
With more and more startups growing in Indonesia, LinkedIn has become a very effective platform for job seekers who want to join these innovative companies. Of course, with the right steps and perseverance in establishing relationships, more interesting career opportunities in the startup world will open up.
