Your LinkedIn profile is your most valuable career asset
If you want to get headhunted, you have to be findable. Executive recruiters, sourcers, and researchers find candidates through structured LinkedIn searches — and judge them in seconds. We optimize your profile at the executive level so you surface in the right searches and hold up under scrutiny. Three tiers: audit, guided rebuild, or complete done-for-you.
How a sourcer searches — and why you're getting overlooked
When a search firm takes on a mandate, the researcher starts with structured queries. And here's the part most executives miss: recruiters search keywords first, then filter by location — because titles vary too much from company to company. If your headline is vague, your experience section thin, or your keywords wrong, you simply never surface — no matter how strong you actually are. And when you do surface, the first two lines decide whether anyone clicks.
Executive optimization works in three layers: searchability (do you surface at all?), signal (do you read as what you're moving toward — not just what you've been?), and substance (does the profile back up your track record credibly?).
How to get headhunted
Getting headhunted isn't luck — it's searchability engineering. The keywords of your target role need to appear in the profile's searchable fields: headline, about, experience, and skills — top to bottom. The skills section is a live search filter, not decoration: mirror the skills listed on your target role's profiles, not just your current one. And profile completeness feeds the ranking — photo, filled-out sections, and recommendations decide how high you appear in results.
All of it has to happen without broadcasting that you're looking: no public "open to work" banner. LinkedIn's recruiter-only career interest signal is the one controlled tool worth considering — and only when the timing is right for your situation.

Will my employer notice I'm optimizing my profile?
No. A stronger profile signals professional clarity — not a job search. We work without "open to work" banners and without any signal that you're in motion.
How is this different from a resume-writing service?
We don't optimize for readers in general — we optimize for the specific searches and screening criteria executive recruiters and sourcers actually use. The goal isn't a nice-looking profile. It's a profile that gets found, and remembered, by the right people.
Is LinkedIn optimization included in The Power Move?
Yes. In The Power Move, LinkedIn optimization is part of the full positioning kit. As a standalone service, it's for leaders who only want the profile fixed.
