She's right in that posting gives candidates an edge. LinkedIn ups your visibility if you post once or twice a week. Fucking hate making up some stupid shit just to keep my resume more available.
If a company is hiring engineers based off LinkedIn posts, that's not a company I'd be willing to work for.
I'm not into all that but I'd imagine it's less about the posts and more about being visible, seen more often.
My point stands. If you are hiring an engineer, social media has nothing to do with the job. If the company is worried about the social media presence of their engineers, you can guarantee that there's going to be all kinds of other corporate mismanagement going on from people who have no clue how to do any of the actual value-added work. Not an environment I'm willing to work in.
No no, again it's not so much about the social media itself it's being seen by recruiters. They don't have to give a shit about what or how often you're posting. It's about having your name pop up to a recruiter that could land you a job.
