Joel Lalgee’s 2025 strategy? Sharing opportunities is caring!
LinkedIn is a gold mine of lucrative opportunities, both for recruiters and job candidates. Joel Lalgee proposes an easy and mutually-beneficial way for people to share opportunities with their networks in his April post. Simply tell others about it.
Recruiters often reach out to a pool of candidates in hopes that some of them will be interested in opportunities. But if they’re not, that’s ok! As one of the top recruitment influencers, Joel suggests candidates share these opportunities with their networks and spread the word around.
Whether you’re in rec2rec, finance, tech, or elsewhere, there’s bound to be a candidate who your candidates can refer to you. This can help many find their next career opportunity indirectly, letting recruiters know that they’re very close to finding their ideal candidate as well.
Hishem Azzouz’s message to recruitment solopreneurs – don’t mistake obstacles for failure
Solopreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart. In his April LinkedIn post, Hishem goes into what makes solopreneurs tick and how they can overcome difficulty. By breaking down the obstacles into achievable milestones.
Week after week, those obstacles may seem like they’re crushing you. But month after month, quarter after quarter, you’ll see them for what they really are. Challenges that shaped you into a great solopreneur and an even better recruiter.
Take it from one of the top recruitment influencers out there. Yes, things can get tough, and it might seem like there’s no way out. But if you keep at it, things will always balance out and you’ll find yourself on the other side, stronger and wiser for it.

Greg Savage points out the difference between ‘could’ and ‘should’ in using AI
Artificial intelligence is making everyone’s lives easier these days. But what’s the real impact of implementing AI in recruitment? Moreover, how much AI is too much AI?
Greg Savage shares his point of view in a thought-provoking LinkedIn post, describing AI as a helpful tool under the right circumstances. The keyword here is ‘artificial’, as AI cannot replace human intuition and a seasoned recruiter’s point of view. As Greg is one of the top recruitment influencers on our list for April 2025, his words ring true for many in the staffing industry.
Let AI handle the heavy lifting of doing your admin while you take care of your candidates’ needs. You can start doing it right now with Atlas. But don’t mistake AI for an end-all solution to all things recruitment. You might just let a great candidate slip through your fingers in doing so.
Sean Anderson’s list of LinkedIn don’ts every recruiter can benefit from
LinkedIn recruitment is a balancing act. You gotta do everything in your power to play to your strengths while avoiding the pitfalls most recruiters fall into. Sean’s list of LinkedIn don’ts is a perfect resource for any recruiter looking to make a dent in the industry in 2025. While it’s easy to go with the flow and listen to the common consensus, it’s also a risky proposition.
What it comes down to is personalisation and long-term strategy. Treat others the way you want to be treated, and the snowball effect will kick into high gear. LinkedIn isn’t a solution, but a tool to be used wisely and responsibly. Otherwise, it can do more harm than good.
Reaching out to people unrelated to your niche or relying on mass outreach without a strategy could spell doom for your efforts. And as one of the top recruitment influencers on our list for quite some time, Sean’s insights are a valuable reality check for every recruiter out there.
Carolyn Christie sheds light on the importance of open communication
Candidate placement is only a part of the equation. Should a candidate leave their new employer shortly after, something went wrong. And most likely, it was all about communication. Or lack thereof. In her latest LinkedIn post, Carolyn goes into the role of open communication between employers and employees.
Because while these conversations are oftentimes awkward, their also vital 9 times out of 10. Whether you’re unhappy with your current responsibilities or the job you’re doing doesn’t match what you were pitched initially, speak up. These problems have real solutions, and you can quickly turn the tide in your favour by simply expressing your thoughts out loud.
In the best-case scenario, you get what you were hoping for. Worst case, you’ll know where you stand and can find alternative solutions early on. None of it will come to fruition, however, if you don’t employ open communication.

Top growing LinkedIn recruitment influencers shaping the April 2025 landscape
While it’s important to look back at the top recruitment influencers rocking the April 2025 charts, we should also take a look at the up-and-coming recruiters doing equally well. These influencers have come a long way in only a month and prove that the right attitude and a few nuggets of wisdom can go a long way in attracting peer attention. Here’s the list of the top-growing influencers as part of our monthly Atlas30 report.
Chad Sowash raises awareness on the impact of the recent tariffs
Oftentimes, it’s easy to lose ourselves in the recruitment industry without looking at the big picture. And 2025 has been nothing if not unpredictable and destabilising for many industries. Recruitment is no exception, with the effects of the US trade tariffs looming on the horizon and creeping their way toward us.
Chad Sowash took to LinkedIn to raise awareness of the issue and share the latest reports with his peers. And the results are more dire than they first appeared. With many jobs being at risk of being eliminated as a result of the tariffs, recruiters will have to rethink their strategies to adjust to the new norm.
Benjamin Mena points out the vital role of recruiters in recruitment tech development
What do recruiters want to see in their tools? Is it the automation of time-consuming administrative tasks? Or is it a way to streamline resume parsing, outreach campaigns, and analytics to save precious time? In his April 2025 LinkedIn post, Ben raises an interesting point about the state of recruitment tech.
Oftentimes, these tools are built in a bubble, with solutions to problems that may not exist in practice. The best way to avoid building a product no one needs? Talk to the recruiters who will one day rely on your product to build their business on. As one of our top recruitment influencers, Ben’s words couldn’t be more true.
