Networking is crucial for job searches, with 84% of companies using employee referral programs; referred candidates often have a better chance of being hired. In a challenging job market, AI tools can help individuals draft messages and emails to enhance their networking efforts. Networking isn't just who you know but who knows you, which is essential for standing out. Using AI, job seekers can identify individuals in roles of interest and forge connections, enabling potential job referrals and advice.
"Networking isn't just about who you know. It's about who knows you," says Jan Tegze, author of the book Job Search Guide: Be Your Own Career Coach. "In a crowded job market, that makes a huge difference," he says.
The mistake that a lot of people make is they reach out to the recruiter," says Matt Landau, CEO of AI job search site Swooped. "Recruiters are inundated with those types of messages, and they often don't have any type of hiring sway," he says.
