LinkedIn headline examples for recruiters
Recruiter headlines should name the roles you fill, your sourcing channels, and your hiring metrics. Recruiters (and hiring managers) search for the specialism (tech, exec) and time-to-fill/quality metrics.
Weak vs. strong headlines
"Recruiter | Connecting people"
"Technical Recruiter | Full-cycle | Hired 80+ engineers at 22-day time-to-fill"
"Working in recruiting"
"Talent Acquisition Specialist | Sourcing & Employer Branding | Cut cost-per-hire 30%"
Keywords recruiters search for recruiters
Weave the ones that match your real experience into your headline, About, and skills — these are the terms recruiters filter by.
