LinkedIn introduces QR codes and new translation feature to help you connect easily

LinkedIn has introduced new features to help you connect easily with professionals on the network. 

With the new QR code support, you will be able to browse a professional's profile, or connect with them with the standard scanning process, Engadget reported. A second addition is the See Translation button on posts. Available for over 60 languages, the feature will make it easier for non-English language users to connect and share seamlessly. 

Recently, Microsoft-owned LinkedIn introduced a new tool on its platform, called ‘Scheduler’ which will ease out the process to hire recruiters and candidates as well as avoid confusions. The new feature will help users automate initial interview scheduling by syncing their calendar to LinkedIn Recruiter, and then share their calendar availability with candidates directly in their InMails.

The aim of ‘Scheduler’ is to save time spent on scheduling a meeting and help recruiters focus their energies on hiring strategically and on-boarding the best candidate. You sync your calendar so LinkedIn Recruiter has a real-time view of your availability (Google and Office 365 calendars only, with more coming soon). You set your scheduling preferences: how long you want candidate meetings to last (15 min, 30 min, etc.) and how long you’d like to share your availability.

You add a calendar availability link to your InMail outreach —whether you send InMails to candidates’ one-by-one or en masse.
