Connecting with your interviewers on LinkedIn prior to a Superday is generally not recommended. Based on the most helpful WSO content, it’s better to research them discreetly instead. Use LinkedIn to gather information about their background, career path, and interests, but avoid sending connection requests or messages before the interview. This could come across as overly forward or unprofessional.

Instead, focus on preparing for the interview by understanding their roles and aligning your responses to their expertise. Knowing a bit about their background can help you feel more confident and establish a better connection during the interview itself.
