JOB SEARCH

How to get recruiters to contact you on LinkedIn

In a job search, the best situation is when recruiters contact you first.

To find you on LinkedIn, Recruiters search keywords (usually job title, location, skills) in a Boolean search.

e.g. "full stack developer" AND "london" AND javascript AND css

Your profile must contain the same words to make a match. Use this checklist:

  1. Headline. Write your target job title. Use the common title, not an internal one. Example: “Software Engineer”, not “SDE II”.

  2. Skills. Choose the top skills for your target role. Use them in your headline, your About section and, most of all, your Skills section.

  3. Spoken languages. List all of them - recruiters filter by language.

  4. Open to Work. List the locations where you can work. Add your target job titles too.

  5. Public profile. Go to Me → View Profile → Edit public profile & URL. This is what Google and logged-out visitors see. Is your photo visible? Are your sections visible?

  6. Contact email. Add an email address to your About section. You can make an email just for your job search (e.g. AnnaQA@…). Recruiters have a limited number of InMail messages each month, so a visible email makes contact easy.

  7. Activity. Comment on posts, share your own posts, and follow and interact with the companies you want to work for.

  8. Reply to messages. Even to decline. Replying is part of the “likely to respond” signal and shows you are active.
