👉 It may sound simple, but it’s actually the first step toward a professional and impactful LinkedIn profile. The more complete your profile is, the more visibility you gain—making it easier for headhunters & recruiters to find you!
💡 LinkedIn rewards these profiles with “Superstar” status. And it’s not just about the title—what really matters is that it increases your reach (and visibility) by up to 40%!
These 7 sections are a must:
✅ Profile picture
✅ Industry
✅ Location
✅ Work experience
✅ Education
✅ Skills
✅ About section / Summary
Once you’ve completed all these sections, you’ll earn Superstar status—and with it, greater visibility on LinkedIn.
But these are just the essential sections. If you want to stand out even more—and especially attract headhunters and recruiters—there’s more you can do.
Your languages play a key role in searches (and don’t forget to add your native language! 😉). When it comes to skills, focus on 12-20 key skills that recruiters actively search for. Publications, awards, certifications, and projects are valuable additions to your profile. The more relevant information you provide, the more valuable and attractive your profile becomes. 🚀
💡 Customize your profile URL – It’s a small detail, but it adds a professional touch, and you can even include keywords here.
💥 Use keywords – In your headline, summary, and work experience sections. Recruiters search for them!
📅 Keep your profile updated – New job, project, or training? Regular updates increase your visibility to recruiters, as LinkedIn prioritizes active profiles.
💬 Get recommendations – References from former managers or colleagues can make a big impact! 😉
🤝 Engage in networking – Connect, like, comment—LinkedIn loves engagement! You don’t have to post yourself, but any activity boosts your visibility.
🌟 Turn on ‘Open to Work’ in your profile! 🚀 You don’t need the visible green frame—there’s also an option to stay discreet or even target specific companies.
🌟 Want to stay under the radar? You can disable profile update notifications in your visibility settings to prevent your network from seeing every change.
