Recruiters don't browse LinkedIn.
They filter it.
When a recruiter has a role to fill, they don't scroll through profiles. They open LinkedIn Recruiter, type in a job title, set a location and add the skills the role needs. Anyone who falls outside those filters never shows up, however strong their experience.
​
Kate runs these searches for her clients. In this hour she opens one live and shows you exactly what she sees, including how fast a long list of qualified people shrinks to a short one. Then she walks you through the two settings on your own profile that decide which side of that filter you land on: your Skills and your Location.
What We'll cover
One hour, four practical changes.
01
How a recruiter's search actually works, and why most qualified people never make it into the results
02
Choosing the five skills you want to be found for
03
Your Location setting, and how the wrong one hides you from the jobs you want
04
Turning on Open to Work so that only recruiters can see it
Who it's for
Managers, directors and VPs who are between roles, whose role feels at risk, or who are quietly looking at their next move. If you've applied for jobs you were well qualified for and heard nothing back, start here.
bring your profile
Have LinkedIn open in another tab. This is a hands-on hour, and most people change something before we finish.

She holds a LinkedIn Recruiter seat, so the view you see on Friday is the one she uses to fill real roles. She recently spoke on the "Futureproofing Your Career and Reinvention" panel at the NC TECH Summit for Women in Tech.
