LinkedIn Recruiting Secrets That Actually Drive Placements — With Stephanie Holman

Hey Recruiters,

Ready to level up your results on LinkedIn? In our latest episode, Stephanie Holman breaks down how she built a powerful cleared recruiting community (CIA, NSA, TSSCI, and more!) and turned her digital brand into a placement machine. If you think cleared candidates aren’t on LinkedIn, she’s here to prove you wrong—with 72,000+ followers and real, consistent hires.

Top Takeaways:

  • Build Actual Relationships: Connect weekly with your core audience, and go beyond just posting jobs—share your process and values.

  • Be Real, Not Perfect: Stephanie Holman posts a mix of videos, personal updates, and honest recruiting stories. Candidates want authenticity!

  • Treat Candidates Like Gold: The candidate experience comes back to you—her connections helped out after a layoff, leading straight to new roles.

  • ROI is Real: Community building isn’t just for social; it means direct hires, more referrals, and career opportunities.
