Everything in Your LinkedIn Optimization Package
A complete rewrite of every field that drives recruiter search — not a tweak, not a template, not a generic “polish.”
Headline Formula
We rewrite your headline using the Role + Stack + Signal formula — the single biggest lever for recruiter search visibility. 220-character limit used intentionally, not wasted.
About Section Storytelling
A 3-paragraph About that opens with a hook, proves your skill with one specific win, and closes with a clear ask (target role, target timeline, work authorization).
Experience Bullet Rewriting
Every role rewritten with action verb + quantified impact + scope — the same recruiter-tested structure we use on resumes, adapted for LinkedIn's read patterns.
Featured Section Curation
We help you select and stage the 3–5 highest-signal artifacts (portfolio, GitHub, published work, case study) so recruiters see proof, not just claims.
SSI (Social Selling Index) Lift
We map your profile and activity against LinkedIn's SSI scoring and give you a 30-day plan to lift it from typical-student (under 40) into the 60+ range.
Recruiter Keyword Strategy
We pull keywords from real recruiter searches in your target field and place them in the 4 fields that drive search ranking: headline, About, current role, and skills.
Profile Photo & Banner Guidance
Specific guidance on framing, lighting, attire, and background — plus a custom banner suggestion that signals your target field at a glance.
Skills, Endorsements & Open-to-Work Setup
We pick the 10 skills LinkedIn weighs most heavily for your target roles, configure your Open-to-Work signal correctly, and set notification preferences for recruiters.
How Your LinkedIn Gets Rebuilt
A 4-step process that delivers a fully rewritten profile and a 30-day activity plan in 7–10 days.
Profile Audit
Your coach scores your current profile against the 12 fields that drive recruiter discovery and flags every gap with screenshots.

30-Day Activity Plan
You get a 30-day engagement plan to lift your Social Selling Index, plus the exact recruiter-outreach scripts to send (Premium plan).
LinkedIn Is the First Place Recruiters Look — Make It Count
LinkedIn has more than 1 billion members and is used by over 95% of US corporate recruiters as their first sourcing tool. When a recruiter has 30 minutes to fill a junior pipeline, they open LinkedIn Recruiter, type 4–6 keywords, and scan the top 20 profiles. If your headline doesn’t contain the keywords, your About reads like a graduation speech, or your photo is a cropped vacation selfie, you don’t make the shortlist — even if you’re the strongest candidate.
For international students, LinkedIn matters even more. With ~1.1M F-1 students in the US (IIE Open Doors 2024–25), in-network referrals are harder to come by, so recruiter-driven inbound becomes the second channel after applications. We optimize your profile for the exact keywords US recruiters search — “Open to OPT,” “Open to Sponsorship,” “STEM OPT eligible” — and we configure your Open-to-Work signal so recruiters see you in their filtered search without your current employer seeing it. We pair LinkedIn with resume writing so both surfaces tell one story.
Most student profiles fail in three specific places: the headline (vague “Student at X” instead of a keyword stack), the About (no hook, no proof, no ask), and the Featured section (empty or random). We fix all three in one pass and then give you a 30-day activity plan to lift your Social Selling Index — because LinkedIn’s algorithm rewards profiles that post and engage, not just exist. For the playbook, see our LinkedIn for Students guide.
