Restell, Founder, Social-Hire.com Recruiters have been told repeatedly that LinkedIn reach has collapsed. After more than a decade working with recruitment agency founders and teams around the world, we have seen plenty of niche specialist recruiters achieve stronger impressions since LinkedIn changed how it distributes content.
