LinkedIn has become one of the more powerful branding tools available to job seekers. LinkedIn profiles tend to appear at the top of a page when an employer conducts a Google search on a candidate, opening up an opportunity for candidates to further impress employers with a well optimized and engaging profile. Additionally, more and more employers and recruiters are using applicant tracking software (ATS) to search LinkedIn profiles to source candidates rather than creating job postings. This shift in technology makes it imperative for candidates to ensure their LinkedIn profile contains contains the keywords needed to be found by top employers in their field.

The team at Full Circle Resumes can assist candidates in creating or editing a LinkedIn profile so that the candidate’s LinkedIn presence is professional, organized, and compelling. We also advise clients on the type of photos to use and how to go about acquiring reviews and endorsements from industry professionals.

LinkedIn provides candidates with an opportunity to increase their visibility and credibility within their industry and community. By remaining active and available on LinkedIn, candidates can attract the notice of hiring partners and recruiters more readily.
