Majority of us recruiters spend ample time on LinkedIn searching for candidates. Connecting with us directly is one of the fastest ways to get your profile front & center .
It also means you`ll show up more often in our search results when we look to fill roles .
A sample template to use when asking recruiters to connect with you on LinkedIn:
Hi Xxx,
I see that you recruit for Data Engineer roles in Seattle. Currently, I`m a Data Engineer at Meta and wanted to connect with you in case you think my profile might be a good fit for current or any future roles you`re looking to fill .
Looking forward to connecting,

When hiring managers read your resume, they`re looking for more than just an overview of your experience. They`re also looking for growth, specifically:
Experience is one thing, but if you’ve stayed in the same role for the past 10 years without moving up, hiring managers are going to want to know why .
No career growth = a possible red flag .
Being promoted or taking on different roles at the same company shows that you’re capable of professional development .
