LinkedIn Groups are a powerful feature on the world's biggest social network for business. By joining relevant groups on LinkedIn, you can connect with influencers, keep up to date on the latest for your industry, and expand your network of connections. You'll also be able to increase your visibility and authority as an HR professional, so you can attract more talent.
With nearly two million groups on LinkedIn, deciding which ones to join can be a challenge. Here are five of the best choices for human resource professionals in the Houston area, and throughout the U.S.
Texas HR Pros
A rapidly growing group of human resource and recruiting professionals, Texas HR Pros currently has more than 4,500 members. The group was founded in 2009 by Eric Griesel, an employment law attorney and senior HR executive, and has a strong concentration of members from Houston, Dallas, and Austin.
