I have never been contacted by a recruiter. How do you get the attention of one? What’s everyone doing differently?

Does your LinkedIn profile mention client names + industries, campaigns you’ve worked on, etc.? Recruiters are usually looking for specific industry or client experience.

That’s probably it, then.

Just add them, post

You have to optimize your profile for search. Every field should be fully filled out, using keywords related to what you do. Endorsements from respected ppl in the industry can help. A professional photo goes a long way too - don’t use some pic from a wedding where you cropped out your friends.

Yes, my last few jobs came from being recruited.

Most recruiters will accept a call connection request. Like someone else said just add them. I like to send out a general inquiry for freelance needs with my cv once they accept. You never know!

This may sound silly but if you update your profile to reflect those things then your current employer will see you updated and know you’re looking? Or am I just overly paranoid.
