Not getting recruiter messages? Your LinkedIn profile is the bottleneck.
If LinkedIn isn’t generating interest, it’s usually not your experience, it’s how your profile is positioned and how easily recruiters can find you.
• You’re applying, but getting no responses
• Your headline is just your job title
• Your About section feels vague or generic
• Your experience reads like duties, not impact
• You’re not appearing in recruiter searches
• You’re unsure what South African recruiters expect in 2026
We rewrite and optimise your LinkedIn profile to be searchable, credible, and aligned to the roles you want.
What we optimise on your LinkedIn profile
We optimise the sections recruiters scan first, and the fields LinkedIn uses to match you to searches, so your profile is both credible and findable.
• Headline (role + niche + value + keywords)
• About section (positioning, proof points, core keywords)
• Experience (achievement-first bullets, scope, metrics, outcomes)
• Skills (relevance & search visibility, prioritised to your target roles)
• Featured section (what to showcase: CV, portfolio, case studies, media)
• Open To + key settings (visibility signals and recruiter intent)
• Recommendations strategy (who to ask + what to request for credibility)
• Banner guidance (optional) (simple direction to align visuals with your role/brand)

• Proof-led writing (metrics, outcomes, scope)
We emphasise impact: results, scale, ownership and achievements, so recruiters see credibility quickly.
LinkedIn profile writing for every career stage
We tailor your profile to the level you’re applying at, because recruiters evaluate graduate profiles very differently to senior and executive profiles.

Best for: First roles, internships, graduate programmes.

Best for: Promotions, career moves, competitive corporate roles.
