When I’m choosing keywords with clients, I start by reviewing job descriptions for the roles they want next, then cross-check with LinkedIn’s own search suggestions and competitor profiles in their sector. When you’re deciding which keywords to feature in a headline, do you start with industry terms or role-specific language?

In the headline you always start with the current job title as the first 35 characters of a headline weigh heavier in the algorithm.

It’s not a concept, it’s a database used by 95% recruiters globally.

I’m a software engineer myself and know exactly what it us. It’s still an old concept in the age of AI. Soon to be obsolete.

😂 I don’t see where AI will find candidates, their entire work history on a global scale but you are right the database as a tool to do exec search has been around since the 80’s only to be replaced by LinkedIn in 2003.
