You’ve applied for jobs, fixed your CV, and refreshed your profile — but recruiters still don’t message you on LinkedIn? This episode is for you. I’ll walk you through how recruiters actually use LinkedIn Recruiter (the hidden version you don’t see), why your profile might be invisible, and how to fix it — section by section.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- How recruiters search LinkedIn using filters you didn’t even know existed
- Why incomplete or vague profiles never show up in search results
- What to write in each LinkedIn section — with real examples and keywords
- How to avoid bad job titles like “Ninja” or “Magician” that hurt your visibility
- The truth about the green #OpenToWork banner — and why it’s not a bad thing
- What matters more than fancy design when it comes to being found
- One fix you can make today that will instantly improve your chances
This episode is perfect for ambitious expats in the Netherlands or Europe who are job hunting or career switching and want to actually get seen by recruiters.
