My Proven Trick to Get Recruiters to Send You Job Opportunities on LinkedIn

The other day I was troubled by my LinkedIn profile. In the last few weeks, I noticed that I had not received any new messages and my requests for new connections had gone down. I knew something was wrong and I needed to fix it. However, I did not know what was wrong or where I would start with the fixing.

After wracking my brain for what seemed to be one hour, I decided to start with a random update by adding more information. But there was one problem. I didn’t have any new information to add. Based on my assessment, my LinkedIn profile was up to date and I was back to square one.

And then it hit me. It’s not about how much information you choose to include in your LinkedIn profile. It’s about how informative the information is.

My profile was up to date with all the information on my current job, previous work, education, articles published and anything else I thought important. Any recruiter, employer or potential business partner should have been able to see that and hit my inbox with an opportunity. But this did not happen.

You know why? Because while the profile had all the information, I had not edited it to match the changing times. Industries are evolving at a very high speed, especially with the ever-changing technology. Adapting accordingly is the only solution.

Knowing this, I now knew where to start and exactly what to do. It didn’t take me more than 15 minutes to make the changes. And the outcome? In the 4 days after making the edits, I received 2 new messages (both of which were from HR Managers), increased views on my posts and more connection requests.

How You Can Use My Experience to Your Advantage

I don’t know your story. I don’t know when you created your LinkedIn profile, how well updated it is, or if you have received any job requests through it. But if you are wondering why you are not getting any messages or new requests, borrow from my story and wait for results.

By making a few edits to my profile, I was able to attract new views and job opportunity messages from recruiters. Even though I am not actively looking for a job. Why don’t you try a similar approach?

Below is exactly what I did, and you can implement the same.

1. I revised the contents of my headline

The headline is the brief information that appears just below your name, or next to it depending on how someone is viewing your profile. It lets people know what your profession is and what you do, without them having to dig deeper.
