  1. A professional headshot: A professional headshot is the first thing people see when they visit your profile, so make sure it's a good one. A headshot should be well-lit, in focus, and show you in a professional setting.

  2. A compelling headline: Your headline is the first thing people see under your name, so make sure it's compelling and accurately reflects what you do. It should include your job title, company, and a brief summary of your skills and experience.

  3. A detailed summary: Your summary is where you can showcase your professional brand and tell your story. It should include your professional accomplishments, skills, and experience, as well as your goals and aspirations.

  4. A complete profile: A complete profile includes all of your basic information, including your current job, education, and experience. It should also include any skills, certifications, and awards you have earned.

  5. A professional network: LinkedIn is all about building relationships, so make sure you have a professional network. This includes connecting with people you know, as well as people you want to know.

  6. Engaging content: Regularly post engaging and informative content on your profile to showcase your expertise and build your brand. This can include articles, videos, and images.

  7. A strong call-to-action: Your profile should have a clear call-to-action, such as a link to your website or a button that allows people to contact you.

Linkedin Recruiter

Behind the scenes, most recruitment agencies and internal talent acquisition teams heavily utilise the back end functionalities of LinkedIn through a special license called “Linkedin Recruiter” which can be quite costly. This license gives recruiters & TA teams access to identify the right candidates for roles they are recruiting through "keywords”

The more times you have these keywords in your profile, the more visible you will be on page 1 or 2 of a recruiters or internal teams search, according to LinkedIn’s algorithm.

Examples of keywords

Industries > Legal/Law | Accounting & Finance | FMCG | Transport & Logistics | Retail | Aviation | Automotive etc.

Systems > SAP | Bullhorn | Salesforce | BambooHR | Xero etc.

Location > London | Sydney | Los Angeles | Dubai etc.

Unique Skills & also Projects are highly encouraged

If you utilise all of these keywords, your well on your way to creating an All-Star profile.
