Many job seekers believe LinkedIn is not a serious means of job searching. In fact, many people do not understand howLinkedIn can benefit or harm them. This professional social platform has become a crucial tool for recruiters. Some of the positions recruiters seek to fill have not even been posted; hence, the hidden job market. 

So, how would you know to contact recruiters for such positions, since they are not posted?

You would not know; therefore, your LinkedIn profile must be optimized and developed with certain strategies, so that recruiters can find your profile and contact you.

“In an era where 100% of employers and recruiters tap into LinkedIn at some stage in the hiring process, it’s imperative that your profile is professionally written and optimized to its fullest potential.”~Staff Writer, The Career News

“In a recent survey conducted by Jobvite, 79% of recruiters reported they’d found candidates through LinkedIn.” ~ Lisa Evans, How You’ll FInd a New Job in 2015

So, what are a few LinkedIn strategies you can quickly apply?

• Optimize your header by including target positions in ways a recruiter or employer would search them.

• Fill the 50 entries available under skills and endorsements with keywords found in job advertisements you would pursue.

• Use the interest section as an opportunity to increase your keyword optimization by adding keywords pertaining to job advertisements in your industry.

Make your profile worth recruiters contacting you for opportunities. If you would like assistance in developing an optimized recruiter drawing LinkedIn profile, please contact me.
