Your 6-Second LinkedIn Makeover
Make your LinkedIn profile recruiter-ready in seconds and start attracting the roles you deserve.
🕒 Six seconds.
That’s how long a recruiter spends deciding whether to stay on your LinkedIn profile—or move on.
In that blink, they’re scanning for:
A clear leadership title
Strategic keywords that match their brief
Career continuity and credibility
Location and headline relevance
A sense that you belong at the table
And yet, so many executive profiles fall flat before they’ve had the chance to speak.
Today’s post is your blueprint to flip that script.
🔍 What Recruiters Actually See First
Before they even reach your summary, recruiters are drawn to:
Your Name & Headline – Are you positioned with confidence and clarity?
Your Most Recent Role – Is it aligned with what they’re hiring for?
Dates & Employers – Is your experience current and consistent?
Keywords – Do you appear in relevant searches?
If your profile isn’t working hard in those six seconds, even the best experience can stay hidden.
✅ Quick Wins to Improve Visibility
→ Headline: Ditch vague job titles. Use value-focused phrases like “Technology Executive | Digital Transformation | AI Strategist” to stand out and appear in searches.
→ Summary: A few sharp, emotionally intelligent lines that show who you are and what problems you solve.
→ Experience: Lead with impact, not tasks. Use action verbs and quantify results whenever possible.
→ Keywords: Mirror the language in job specs. If they’re searching “enterprise SaaS growth leader,” and your profile says “cloud team manager,” you might be invisible.
