Toby Culshaw

@jantegze Well there you go. Honestly it's never served a single purpose for me and I find it meaningless tbh

@Tobyculshaw Looks like people on LN are still posting their scores. 😁

Can anyone actually explain what LinkedIn’s SSI score is good for? 🙂 Plenty of experts insist you need to be in the top 1%, yet not one of them has answered my question with anything resembling hard evidence. I’m not asking for a feeling. I want data. A study. Literally anything. And before anyone jumps in: no, a higher score does not give you better search visibility, post reach, or profile views. I’ve ghostwritten content for dozens of people and tracked their stats alongside their SSI scores. The correlation is not there. I think the SSI is the horoscope of LinkedIn metrics. Vague enough to feel personal. Just credible enough to share. Zero proven impact on actual results. I’ve asked more people than I can count whether a high SSI score ever moved the needle on their outreach or sales. The answers fell into exactly two categories: “I don’t know” or “nothing.” Not a single data point in between. So to everyone posting their SSI score, I have one genuine question: what, specifically, did it do for you? 🙂

We may not have won but that is the england team we want to see. Passionate, creative, hungry, relentless. Incredible.

@mattcharney 9am 😬🫠

Note to self: don’t accept meeting invites for 6 am.

@mattcharney @LinkedIn See you at the higher ed conf? 😂

I was asked to chair a higher education hiring conference- they wanted 5 promotional blog posts, got to keep the IP and the pay was a comp ticket - not even flight or hotel. I was also offered a thousand bucks to shout out a vendor @linkedin. Guess which option I went with?

@mattcharney @Forbes @tiffanyrecruits Thank you buddy, most certainly will 🙌🏻🙌🏻

@Tobyculshaw @Forbes Hey congrats on the new gig btw. Give @tiffanyrecruits my best- great team over there

Congrats to this year’s list of @forbes best places to work. Unless you’re no longer working there, of course

@jemzuki @GergelyOrosz Too kind, thank you 👍🏻

@Tobyculshaw @GergelyOrosz Toby is the expert you need when it comes to this topic @GergelyOrosz

I'm researching what is happening in the tech jobs market. If you're a hiring manager recruiting, or an experienced eng on the job market, would love to hear what you see. DMs open. (Feels like a weird market. I suspect data on eg jobs doesn't reflect what's on the ground)

for those struggling to watch on rugbypass the england France game in on youtube also youtube.com/watch?v=RQnc5K…

@RugbyInsideLine Is it jumped into / over Vs jumped away from / around? Honestly no idea, clutching at straws here.

🤔 Interesting law issue here highlighted by Brown-Bampoe. Three times against Bath, he jumped/hopped his way over/around/out of a tackle (however you want to describe it). What is the line at which it becomes an illegal act?

@HungLee Now correlation isn't causation but it's interesting that people are largely being forced back to offices and are largely not engaged and are struggling instagram.com/p/C8fP9ClPUwR/…

How many more in-person office days did you do in 2024 vs 2023?

@abarrallen @saltzman_jason Oh absolutely agree. I've never seen them do it but if argue it's well within their definitional remit. Agree though operational efficiency and effectiveness strike teams may well be a route ahead. Can't see it coming from TI though personally.

@Tobyculshaw @saltzman_jason I have not seen internal audit do it historically. Internal audit teams are usually looking for major control risks.

I anticipate we'll start seeing 'internal DOGE' teams at large companies.

@saltzman_jason @abarrallen Should this not be what internal audit should do?

@abarrallen Thinking this is what talent intelligence teams will evolve to, cc @Tobyculshaw for his thoughts

@brettruganalyst @J52Wallusch Why can the caterpillar not simply drive forward and force the defense back even further and the scrum half can be right up where the ball was placed?

Watch the player (white socks/on the ground) increase the length of the ruck & force defence back. Add the caterpillar too !!! 😂😂😂 #PORvBEL - thanks @J52Wallusch for clip!!

@LineoutNause He definitely seems to have peaks and troughs with teams. Overly tough then super relaxed. Must be a nightmare to play as so inconsistent

@Tobyculshaw Ben O’Keefe has an extensive portfolio of crap calls. He’s added a few to his collection this evening.

Couple of very sketchy penalties changing the momentum here. Wouldn’t be like O’Keefe to go a game without a clanger

@LineoutNause Irl hang around the breakdown and 9/10 channel and slow things up so much yet never get pinged. They've learnt from NZ but it's infuriating to watch.

Same old story with Ireland. The ref dictates how they play. Strong ref polices their breakdown work and they can’t get going. Weak ref, like today, and they’re allowed to get rolling and they’re not going to lose many sides. But ultimately Mitchell’s 1v1 D cost them the game

@HungLee This is where sourcing goes back old school. When every inbox is slammed it'll be personal connections / network and relationships that matter.

Outbound noise from Ai Agents will nuke everyone’s inboxes. Humans will have to deploy AI Agentic counter measures to handle the surge. Bot to bot communications becomes dominant method of discovery.

@CharlieFelix @KeeneTiger Although very much how Ireland and NZ have been handling ruck time over last few years so maybe it's the new norm.

@KeeneTiger @Tobyculshaw Both tbf - think a more experienced player makes it known that they’ve been whacked off the ball. Maybe that’s unfair - Michelow might have communicated that

Little learning point for two of England's latest U20 world champions at the end of Saracens-Bristol. Nathan Michelow sets to latch onto Olamide Sodeke but gets smashed by a wily Steven Luatua. Sodeke isolated, Bristol penalty. Bristol end up scoring for a bonus point.
