Linkedin Profile writing

So how will an optimised profile support your search – well it is generally used in one or two ways:

• Over 97% of recruiters will look to LinkedIn first to search for candidates, running recruitment campaigns and placing vacancies.  Here an All Star, key word endorsed, and recommended profile will be essential towards your details showing up on the recruiter’s radar.
• Once a recruiter has your CV, more often than not they will then locate you on LinkedIn (having your profile linked from your CV is a great way to widen your application success).  So ensure you have an up to date profile, with endorsed relevant key skills and one that shows your personal value in your role, experience and future development.
• Branding across all your social media profiles is key here as well, recruiters don’t just stick to one platform when researching the potential in a candidate.  They can search Facebook, Instagram etc… make sure all your public profiles are clean and compliant.
