Make your LinkedIn profile easy for recruiters to find

Recruiters search LinkedIn the way you search Google: by keywords, job titles and location. If your profile doesn't use the words they type, you won't show up.

Your headline does the heavy lifting

Swap "Seeking new opportunities" for the role you want and your strongest skills: HR Generalist | Talent Acquisition | Employee Relations.

Turn on Open to Work, privately

Choose "Recruiters only" if you're still employed. It quietly tells recruiters you're open to conversations.

Fill the About section

Three short paragraphs: what you do, what you've achieved, and what you're looking for. Write it in the first person and include your key skills naturally.

Add skills and get endorsed

List the skills from the job descriptions you're targeting and ask former colleagues to endorse the top three.

Be active

Comment thoughtfully on posts in your industry a few times a week. Activity puts your name in front of the people who hire.
