I feel like I don't get many recruiters or companies reaching out to me on linked in. Maybe once every few months. I have my status as open for new roles. My profile is not bad...I would like to get more hits. How do people get recruiters to reach out? I am a new senior manager with 7 years consulting experience.

First thing you need to do is take off the “open for new roles” badge. Makes you look desperate.

Okay didn't know that...thanks for the info on being thirsty

Recruiters don’t need to reach out, they have so many freaking applicants for every job posting that they don’t have to headhunt the way they used to.

I try not to ever say I’m looking for work. I’m the cool guy that everyone wants. I’m considering the job you’re recruiting and interested in learning more but I want to seem desirable, not desperate

You answered this yourself. You describe your LinkedIn profile as "not bad".

If you don't think your LinkedIn profile is a great representation of you then absolutely no one else will either.

Get your profile singing and make it relevant to whatever role you want next, if it's right the recruiters will flock to you like flies to s**t
