How to Attract Recruiters with a LinkedIn Message
Let’s face it.
Just having “#OpenToWork” on your profile isn’t always enough. If you really want to get noticed, you need to take the first step. And one of the most effective ways?
A direct message to a recruiter.
But here’s the catch: Recruiters receive hundreds of messages.
The difference between being ignored or being contacted? >>> How you craft your message.
So, what Makes a Message Stand Out? >> Here’s what a great message to a recruiter includes:
- Be Clear & PoliteStart with a brief intro >> Don’t jump straight into “Please hire me.” Show that you’ve done your homework.
- Mention What You’re Looking For >> Be specific, avoid vague phrases like “any opportunity will do.”Clarity = Confidence.
- Mention Why You’re Reaching Out to Them. >> This is what most candidates skip. It’s about relevance. Show why your message is not random.
- Keep It Short and Easy to Read >> Recruiters are busy. Your message should be under 80–100 words max. Bonus points if you attach your resume or link to your portfolio/GitHub.
Final Tips
- Don’t mass-message, tailor each one.
- Always connect first, then follow up with a message.
- Be patient. Not all recruiters are actively hiring every day.
Have you ever messaged a recruiter before? and what worked or didn’t work for you?
