They key is, recruiters really like keywords. So set up your profile in a way where you\u2019ll be found when they search.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

  1. In your header, include the\u00a0job you want<\/strong>\u00a0to have<\/li>
  2. You should indicate the\u00a0region\/location<\/strong>\u00a0of where you want to work. Ex. If you\u2019re looking for work in the Netherlands, this will help recruiters in that area find you.<\/li>
  3. Hiring managers usually give recruiters a list of keywords for a particular job.<\/li>
  4. Enter all your skills.<\/strong>\u00a0Searching for a developer will give 10k results, so recruiters won\u2019t stop till they find an exact match.<\/li>
  5. Indicate what industry you are in or want to work in. Also, consider other industries that relate to that particular industry. Ex. Automotive and renewables.<\/li>
  6. Include your\u00a0Languages<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 thought can be discriminatory, it\u2019s still useful to know that you have some knowledge of a particular community.<\/li>
  7. Years of\u00a0experience<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 can also be used very discriminatorily, but if you had 5-10 years of experience in a particular area, that can create some level of trust.<\/li>
  8. If you\u00a0managed a team<\/strong>\u00a0or anything else, indicate that number or what you did. Adding specifics is necessary, and do it in a way there you tell the story of what you did in each position you held.<\/li>
  9. Recruiters can specifically search for people who respond to inMails. So if you don\u2019t respond to inMails at all (and don\u2019t decline them), you will not show up in that search section.<\/li>
  10. Last, if you\u2019re open for work, update that setting.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Bottom line is,\u00a0recruiters don\u2019t want to do a lot of leg work in order to find you.<\/strong><\/p>

    Also, not every recruiter is going to fully understand the job. So if the keywords are there, then they will feel more confident about connecting you to someone who works in that area of expertise.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
