The Recruiter's LinkedIn GuideWhat actually makes recruiters click on your profile - from someone who searches LinkedIn for candidates every day.
Your LinkedIn profile isn't just an online resume. It's how recruiters find you, often before a job is even posted. This guide shows you exactly what we're looking for and how to make sure your profile stands out.
What's inside:
- How to write a headline that actually gets clicks (not just your job title)
- Weak vs. strong examples for your About section and Experience
- The formula for turning boring job descriptions into achievement-based bullets
- When to use "Open to Work" (and when it can backfire)
- Common mistakes that make recruiters skip your profile
- Exercises to write your headline and About section
Great if you want to optimize your profile yourself, or as a companion to The Recruiter's Resume Guide.
I update this guide regularly, so you'll always have access to the latest version.
Want personalized feedback instead? Check out my LinkedIn Profile Review - I offer it on a pay-what-you-can basis.
This guide is something I offer independently, separate from my day job in talent acquisition. Purchasing it doesn't give you any advantage in hiring processes at my employer - all applications go through standard review. My goal is simply to help job seekers put their best foot forward, regardless of where they're applying. If I believe a purchase is intended to influence hiring at my organization, I reserve the right to cancel the transaction and issue a refund.
