Before you hit “Connect” or send a message to hiring managers, follow these steps to make your profile stand out:

1. Optimize your LinkedIn profile before reaching out to your contacts
Your LinkedIn profile is more than just your online resume—it's the first impression you make when you contact recruiters.

With so many sections to fill out, it can be difficult to know where to focus. Here are the essential points you should prioritize before contacting recruiters:

Headline: Create a clear and professional headline of no more than ten words that reflects your current position and your most valuable skills.
Profile Photo: Use a high-quality, professional image that fits your personal brand
About: Craft a compelling professional story in 2,600 characters, showcasing your skills, experience and unique qualities
Education and Certifications: Include your educational background and relevant certifications to demonstrate your qualifications.
Experience: Keep your work experience up to date, clearly describing your responsibilities and accomplishments. Be transparent about any gaps in your career.
Skills and endorsements: Ask your colleagues and supervisors for endorsements to chairman email lists increase your credibility
**Highlight key projects, articles, or accomplishments that showcase your skills and contributions
Keywords: Incorporate industry-specific keywords into your headline, summary, and job description to increase your visibility in recruiters' searches.
2. Research the recruiter and their company
Next, check out the recruiter’s LinkedIn profile and company page to learn about their hiring process, specialized roles, and company culture. This will help you craft a personalized LinkedIn message that resonates.

To investigate properly:

Apply filters like “company size,” “experience level,” and “location” to find companies in your industry and region
Identify key skills and qualifications from job descriptions to highlight them in your message
Observe how the hiring manager interacts with their (internet) connections to adjust your tone accordingly.
Check out the company's social media to learn about their hiring strategies and culture.
