LinkedIn Lets Colleagues Cut to the Chase with One-Click Endorsements

Crafting elegant recommendations for your connections on LinkedIn is one of the best ways to build your professional network, especially when your colleagues return the favor. But let's face it, it's hard to find time to sit down and respond to all those endorsement requests. To ease your writing cramps, LinkedIn will now let you click a button and be done with it. It may seem less thoughtful than a personal note, but don't forget that recruiters are typing keywords into the search bar to find eligible candidates.
