How recruiters use LinkedIn

Summary
Recruiters search LinkedIn with keywords: job title, skills, tools, certifications, location, and years of experience. If those terms aren’t on your profile, you won’t show up.
They also stack filters on top of keywords: years of experience, current company, industry, Open to Work status, and more.
- Example: financial analyst search filtered to 3 to 5 years experience, Excel modeling, and a CFA certification.
Once you appear, most recruiters skim in under 10 seconds. First signals: photo, headline, and current role.
The rest of this LinkedIn section is about building each profile piece with that recruiter behavior in mind.
