Should you connect with a hiring manager, and if so, how you should go about it? If you’re well qualified for the opening, then connecting with the hiring manager is a natural next step. But how do you go about it, and is there more that can be done to ensure you land your perfect-fit position faster?
The hiring manager role is to find qualified candidates, so it’s OK to connect. But if a job posting explicitly states to only contact via a certain channel and advises not to use other channels, then follow directions. You can network with employees and decision-makers, connect with the recruiters on LinkedIn, or get a referral for the job. You just can’t apply any other way.
