Recruiters now rely on LinkedIn’s search filters and AI “Recruiter 2025” matching, so every word you add (or fail to add) affects whether you surface in results. Profiles with a photo, a keyword-rich headline, and an active Featured section get up to 3× more views and 21× more messages from hiring teams. LinkedIn
To write a great headline you should highlight your main job title that you plan to pursue, mention industry experience, and any niche skills you want to highlight!
Example: “Product Designer | UX Research & Figma Systems | Turning complex flows into 25% higher conversion.”
