LinkedIn Recruiter is a search engine with filters, and your profile is the indexed document. Ranking well is a deliberate exercise, not a matter of luck.
Your headline carries the most weight. Replace the default job title with the role you are targeting plus the specialisms that qualify you for it.
The About section should read like a short, confident brief: who you help, the scale you operate at, three proof points, and a clear invitation to contact you.
Then feed the algorithm signals: complete skills ordered by relevance, endorsements from credible peers, featured work samples, and consistent activity in your professional niche.
