Linkedin has been one of the top hiring and job posting platforms for a long time. Recruiters find it to be the best place to post and candidates find it to be the best platform to connect with recruiters, get hired, and gain top executives' valuable professional insights. With the latest advancements, LinkedIn is also growing as the trailblazing platform that holds deep learning insights in feed from experts of a particular industry. To keep the balls rolling, let us discuss the top 10 hacks that everyone should know in order to draw recruiters attention and get hired on the go.
First things first, headline is the first thing that anyone notices, so make sure that you have a crystal clear and optimized headline that includes your professional journey, things you are good at, how well versed you are with the craft that you are applying for and many more. You can also come up with creative lines that move around your profession like "Witty writer for a hitting career". Lines like these leave an impression of a confident candidate on the recruiter.
The second most important thing that you should keep in mind to attract recruiters is the Keywords. You can easily get caught in the eye of a recruiter if you choose keywords that match their job description. All you need to do is to go through the job role and description, and impart them in your resume. You can also add relevant keywords in the headline and professional summary to get noticed quickly by the recruiters. To get the relevant keywords for job summary and headline, you can search the candidates who share the same profile with you and proceed accordingly.
Experience segment has a prominent place in displaying what you have been working on previously which is why you need to update it in a comprehensive manner. Candidates usually add the role and company name in the experience section which is vital but apart from that detailing about the previous role and explaining the specific responsibilities that you carried out fetches you a good place in the eyes of the recruiter.
LinkedIn provides a specific URL for every user and customizing the URL helps everyone to launch on your profile easily thus preventing any unnecessary delays.
Here comes the interesting part! You must have seen tons of comments' notifications on your profile displaying your peers' comments on various LinkedIn's posts. Commenting on the most trending posts, or commenting on the recruiters' posts that matches your skill set draws the recruiters towards your profile as frequent and active participation in commenting can actually leave an impression on them with respect to your proactive behavior.
As mentioned in the introduction, LinkedIn now has emerged as a posting and conversational platform, allowing experts and other users to post valuable insights. You can come up with carousels, or short paragraph posts that belong to your niche and engage in the conversation in the comment section. This cycle of posting gives your profile exposure as some of the most informative posts of yours might get more engagement with continuous posting with time being.
Once you get more engagement to your posts, never forget to pin the posts in your profile as that would be a great advantage to your recruiters who come across your profile.
Last but not the least, profile summary. Profile summary stands as the direct reflection of who you are, what you are upto, which skills you are prominent in and which things lift up your spirits. Make it a note to include details about you in a natural way instead of pushing your skills and companies in between which makes the reader feel like you are forcing the skills. A brief intro followed by your interests and journey post which you can add the skill sets and your professional expectations. Try to avoid jargon and routine professional phrases like "Highly Motivated person towards content and SEO". They just make you one in the crowd and not one of a kind.
In conclusion, optimizing your LinkedIn profile with these top 10 hacks can significantly enhance your visibility to recruiters and improve your chances of getting hired. From crafting a compelling headline to strategically using keywords and actively engaging with posts, each hack plays a crucial role in showcasing your professional brand. By implementing these strategies, you can stand out from the crowd and make a lasting impression on recruiters, ultimately advancing your career aspirations.
