Based on my experience sourcing on LinkedIn, here is a list of profile hacks.

To be found more often, both on LinkedIn and LinkedIn Recruiter, do this:

When you enter your data, follow prompts and selections – do not enter unusually spelled names
Use your industry, not your company’s
Your companies should point to company pages on LinkedIn; same for schools
Use standard job titles (e.g., “Software Developer” not “Chief Coder”)
Do not enter years of study – this way, you will be found by any range of years of study
Add a degree or certification abbreviations to your last name
Otherwise, do not abbreviate words

LinkedIn does not search for words in the “Accomplished” sections. If you graduated with honors, got certified, or won a competition, say so in summary
Do not put closing dates on the last few jobs – you will then be found for each keyword in the job titles or companies
You can add a fake job with just the title you want – or say it in the headline

Explain your skills and experience either in summary or in the last 1-2 position descriptions:
What have you done, and what was achieved?
Write concrete facts and figures; do not praise yourself
Vary the ways you speak about the job, phrase your skills in different ways
Run Grammarly

Take skill quizzes
Add 50 standard skills to your profile
Add languages knowledge
Go easy on your part-time activities, hobbies, and family
Be alone in your profile picture
Get at least 500 connections with LIONs
Add a publicly visible email address to your profile
Join relevant groups
Share content on your timeline and run polls
Respond to others’ professional content, @mention them
Attach your resume to the profile and say so up front in summary
Do not change default settings except email notifications
Get a premium account and allow everyone to message you
Turn on “Open to Work” when you are ready
