Started getting recruiters attention on LinkedIn

I was getting near-zero signal from LinkedIn applications for a while — no views, no callbacks. Silence.

Recently that changed. Same roles, similar experience, but now I consistently see:

“Your application was viewed by the recruiter.”

What I adjusted:

1. I started checking CV ↔ JD match before applying

Instead of guessing, I actually compare my CV against the job description and look for gaps.

If the overlap isn’t strong, I don’t apply.

2. Strict filtering (match > volume)

If I don’t hit > 80% of the requirements, I skip. Conversion > volume.

3. Keyword alignment (ATS reality)

I treat the CV like a retrieval problem:

• reuse keywords from the job post
• highlight the exact skills they want
• make relevant experience obvious

4. Tailoring without fabrication

Just better positioning of real experience.

Not a magic fix, but at least now my applications are actually being seen.
