4 Ways to Increase Your Profile's Ranking on LinkedIn - What can job seekers do to attract a recruiter’s attention on LinkedIn

By Nancy Collamer

It’s critical to increase your profile’s ranking on LinkedIn so you’re more visible to recruiters. There are four ways to do that.

Two: Expand your network. Having a large network boosts your LinkedIn search ranking. So, be sure to reach out to people like former colleagues, classmates and neighbors on a regular basis. The more people you have in your network, the greater the likelihood that a recruiter will find you through your connections.

This is especially useful for connecting with recruiters at smaller companies, who typically don’t pay for the premium LinkedIn Recruiter tools. Since they don’t have access to expanded search capabilities, they depend on first and second-degree connections to source candidates.

Four: Be active on the site. Maintaining an updated LinkedIn profile shows recruiters that you’re professionally engaged. Share relevant content, comment on other people’s articles and link to articles you’ve written.
