It is OK to reach out to people on Linked In without any reason..

Few introductory messages with no reason can be as below,

1. look for connections related to my area of work. 
2. I'm responsible for both Functional implementation and technical solutions related to MY CURRENT ROLE Management. 
3. By following people related to my area, I can also see those areas in which they follow or like. 
4. It keeps me in the know. 
5. Hopefully, in the future, we'll have a shared interest and work together.
6. Peer to peer networking and collaboration.

After getting Offer, Now you have more of a reason to reach out to Employees who have tagged themselves with the Employer who has offered you new Job.

Talk to them in detail - ask as much questions you look, no scoping / de scoping, sometimes you get all your answers sometimes you dont !

If you know anyone in your FriendZone or exColleagueZone refer them via Recruiter.

With this step, you will loose out on Referral Bonus for Sure..

But, you will not be seen as someone who is favoring any candidature.

Avoid being on Interview Panel on those Interviews, it is good for continuing relationship in FriendZone or exColleagueZone.

Hiring is not done anymore with Old - basics on filling 10 online forms with 1 Employer Portal, I wonder those resumes which gets updated there are Auto - deleted !

Best shot on getting interview is via Recruiters, do not know what the Magic Sauce is but it works !!

You get immediate responses and interview are scheduled in few days if not next Weeek !
