LinkedIn Recommendation Exchange
After thinking this program through I think it would be important, for me at least, to state the conditions by which I will participate. Like you, my reputation is valuable, and as such the blatant exchange of irrelevant recommendations is not something I will be a part of. Done properly and with perspective I feel this can be a huge benefit to a existing or established company, brand, or independent. That all being said here are my guidelines on providing and receiving recommendations:
Recommendation Method 1 - I provide the recommendation, if we are working in competing industries, the copy will be based on character and skills assessment (peer to peer) rather than from the perspective of a client.
Recommendation Method 2 - You provide the copy, lets face it you know which skills you wish to highlight and the intent of such recommendations, but it must still adhere to the above non-compete clause
Note - I will not provide recommendations if you do not have a photo, properly filled out profile, and or questionable content or business positioning. I am looking at providing value, but also protecting myself and my reputation.
Endorsements: I am also willing to provide up to 5 endorsements for relevant skills - if you wish identify which, please do so.
Thank you again and remember its better to protect and nurture your reputation than to have to defend it due to lack of care
