If “Sales Director” is a position on which we want to stand out, Sales Director, Sales Director, Sales Director (in certain cases), Sales director, Head of sales, vp sales, svp sales… are all key words that it may be relevant to put in your profile. A profile that wants to be visible (this is the basis before being seen) can therefore only have rich, dense, varied content… As I said above, I created “new” profiles for candidates on LinkedIn. Not necessarily a lot of quantity of content, but a lot of richness and diversity. Several were contacted by recruiters as soon as they were put online, even though these profiles had no contact.
Size matters The second key to visibility is the size of the network. I know this topic is the source of Email Data countless discussions, but it's very clear: LinkedIn works like this. The way it works, LinkedIn makes those with the biggest networks more visible. We cannot necessarily say: the more contacts we have, the more visible we are, but we are not very far from it. For what ? Few know it, but on LinkedIn, everyone sees and is seen based on the network they have built. When we do a search, LinkedIn positions in the first results the profiles that are closest to us. We are talking about network proximity, no link with the real personal proximity that we can have.
LinkedIn primarily favors level 2 contacts. In other words: the natural visibility we have on LinkedIn is linked to our 2nd level contacts. This is also very logical: Level 1 contacts are already connected and can be accessed via the “my network” menu. Level 3 contacts are contacts of contacts of contacts. Not always very easy to approach them. Level 2 is all the LinkedIn profiles to which we are not connected but with which we have at least 1 common contact. For the founder of LinkedIn: the strength of the network is the 2nd level network. These 2 elements: the content of the profile and the size of the network, are the only 2 elements on which everyone can play since they “have control”.
