Recruiter Tips & Tricks – Update Your LinkedIn Profile URL

Improve your LinkedIn profile’s visibility and show potential employers that you are knowledgeable and professional.

We recommend updating your autogenerated LinkedIn URL - remove extra numbers and characters. Go a step further and customize by adding your degree(s) and/or certification(s) after your name.
