I’m at my wit’s end saying this, but I really need help 😅. I’ve been applying for roles and it feels like my resume just disappears into a black hole.
Has anyone especially any LinkedIn experts - found a trick, hack, or tip to actually get noticed by recruiters or hiring managers?
Also, any advice on customizing LinkedIn profiles so they clearly signal recruiters would mean a lot. Please share 🙏

The hack is to be one of the first 20 applicants. That's what I'm seeing repeated on Reddit.

What helped me was looking at 5 or so job listings for the same role and noticing a lot of the common language and terminology. I then added those verbatim to my LinkedIn, resume and portfolio.

The initial screening is just checking off boxes based on the job description, so mirroring the language they use can help.

Is your resume tweaked to combat the algos with key words?

*Ignore the crappy third party recruiting company that posted this though.

Try to find the recruiter or TA on the role. If you can’t find the exact one, reach out to other recruiters within the company and say you applied. This is your chance to stand out and get noticed in the event your application does get lost in the mix.

Interesting... however i’m not sure this is going to be a good step. I think the people most susceptible will be new cops who could have change things for the better, you’ll still have the ignorant old guards within these organizations.
