5 LinkedIn Sections That Get You Found by Recruiters

January 5, 2026

Your LinkedIn profile is a search result, not a resume. Recruiters filter by keywords, title, and location — the polish comes second.

Headline: use the exact job title you want next, not the one you have. 'Senior Product Manager · SaaS · B2B' beats 'Passionate builder | Coffee enthusiast'.

About: three short paragraphs — who you are, what you've shipped, what you want next. First 300 characters are what shows in previews, so front-load them.

Experience: rewrite each role like a resume bullet list. Recruiters skim; walls of text lose them.

Skills: pin the top three that match your target role. LinkedIn weights these heavily in search.

Featured: pin one artifact — a case study, a talk, a live product. It signals 'I ship things' faster than any headline can.
