Your professional profile picture:
Use a clear and professional picture, of good quality, where you appear to be smiling and confident. Make sure the background is neutral or simply appropriate for a professional context.
Your personal banner:
As a Hunteed consultant, when you reach the “Confirmed Consultant” status, you will receive an email with an Hunteed banner that you’ll be able to include in your professional profile on LinkedIn.
Your attractive and relevant title:
Your title is one of the first elements people see. Indicate clearly your role and specialty (for example: Independent recruiter specialized in IT). Use clear keywords to optimize the LinkedIn research.
Your LinkedIn summary:
Write a precise and engaging summary that highlights your skills, expertise, and shows what distinguishes you from the other recruiters. Talk about your passion for recruitment, the sectors in which you are specialized and the added values you can bring to your clients.
Get their attention with something like : “Contact me for your job searches”
Your professional experiences:
Describe your past experiences by highlighting the results you obtained (number of placed candidates, satisfaction rate, etc.).
Give details about your responsibilities and what you’re specialized in.
Your recommendations:
Ask your clients, the candidates you placed, or your colleagues to rate you to strengthen your credibility.
Personalized URL:
Personalize your LinkedIn profile URL to make it easier to share and be found. (for exemple : “linkedin.com/in/your-name”)
