Here’s more information about Bob McIntosh:

Here are highlights from our discussion: 

• Linkedin all-star status once required recommendations, but skill endorsements replaced it. Endorsements ramped up the activity. See Bob’s article about recommendations
• Recommendations weren’t moving fast enough, but endorsements were easy to do
• Recommendations could be the new referral – contingent on witnessing the reason
• Recommendations shown builds the trust
• Comment is more of engagement than a “Like.”
• Sections used to be movable within the profile
• The writing should be error-free (reflects the writer and the profile)
• Nothing wrong with writing the recommendation, get approval from the recommender
• You don’t have to display all of your recommendations
• How many recommendations is enough
• Recommendations are no longer associated with the company
