🌐 Make Recruiters Chase You: LinkedIn Tips That Actually Work

How to Build a Personal Brand That Lands Interviews—Without the Guesswork

03/09/2025

Here’s the truth:

Recruiters don’t just read your CV—we Google you.

And too often, we find amazing candidates hiding behind quiet LinkedIn profiles and an “Open to Work” banner.

If you’re not showing up online, you’re missing out on being found.

LinkedIn is your digital shop window—and when used right, it can do a lot of the job-hunting for you.

Here’s how to build a personal brand that gets attention 👇

🔑 1. Your Headline Should Sell, Not Just State

Don’t settle for “Marketing Graduate” or “Job Seeker.”

Instead, use your headline to show:

Who you are

Who you help

What you’re great at

Example:

🎯 “Helping brands grow through content, strategy & creativity | Passionate about digital marketing”

🧠 2. Write a Punchy ‘About’ Section

Think elevator pitch, not autobiography.

Keep it short (3–5 lines), and cover:

What you’ve done

What you’re good at

What kind of role you’re looking for

💬 3. Start Engaging

Visibility starts with interaction.

Comment on posts

React to updates

Congratulate others on new roles

These small steps get your name in front of the right people—organically.

📝 4. Create Value (No, You Don’t Need to Go Viral)

Post just once a week. That’s enough.

Share:

Something you’ve learned

A career reflection

A small win or challenge you’re working through

Your goal? Be seen, be human, be consistent.

🎯 Final Advice: Be Visible, Be Human—& Be a Bit Louder Than Usual

LinkedIn isn’t about looking perfect.

It’s about showing up.

If you’ve got the skills and potential, don’t let an empty profile hold you back.

The more we see you, the more likely we are to reach out—and fast-track you into the right roles.
