The LinkedIn Setting Turning Your Profile Into A Mess For Recruiters

Is a hidden LinkedIn setting making you look disorganized to recruiters?

In this episode, I show you the LinkedIn setting that quietly pulls messy CV text into your profile in the LinkedIn Recruiter view, and makes you look less professional than you really are.

If you have carefully curated your LinkedIn profile for job searching, you might be shocked to learn that recruiters often see a completely different version inside LinkedIn Recruiter. In this quick walkthrough, I show you exactly what is happening and how to switch it off.

In this episode you will learn:

  • How your public LinkedIn profile can look clean while your recruiter view is a wall of text
  • What the “Enhanced by resume” label means in LinkedIn’s hiring tools
  • How old CVs from “Easy Apply” can secretly overwrite your carefully edited experience section
  • Why this makes you look disorganised and less clear than you really are
  • Where to find the “Share resume data with hirers” setting in LinkedIn
  • How to turn off resume data sharing and remove old CVs from your profile settings
  • Why it is smart to review your LinkedIn data and AI settings regularly

If you would like another pair of eyes on how recruiters see your profile, you can share it in my community, and I can check it from the LinkedIn Recruiter side.
