Hired Not Retired/Comprehensive LinkedIn Review

Comprehensive LinkedIn Review

A senior, recruiter‑led review of your LinkedIn profile, focused on visibility, clarity and relevance

If your LinkedIn profile looks fine on the surface but recruiters aren’t finding you, messaging you, or responding when you apply for roles, the issue is rarely about effort or activity.

It’s usually about how your profile is being read.

I spent over eleven years working in senior professional recruitment, and LinkedIn has been a core part of how roles are sourced, shortlists are built, and candidates are screened. At senior level especially, small positioning issues can make the difference between being surfaced regularly or effectively disappearing.

This LinkedIn review is designed for experienced professionals who want clear, practical feedback from a recruiter’s point of view, rather than generic profile optimisation tips.


Who this is for (and who it isn’t)

This review is a good fit if:

  • you’re operating at a senior or specialist level

  • recruiters are not finding you through LinkedIn search

  • your applications feel like they’re going into a void

  • your profile hasn’t been updated with intent for a while

  • you want to understand how recruiters actually use LinkedIn

It’s not for social branding, influencer content, or people looking to post daily for visibility. This is about profile structure, positioning and discoverability for senior roles.


What I actually review

I review your LinkedIn profile the same way a recruiter does, which means looking at:

  • how your headline appears in search results

  • whether your level and focus are immediately obvious

  • how your About section reads on a fast skim

  • whether your experience supports the kinds of roles you’re targeting

  • how your profile appears when attached to an application

  • where you may be signalling confusion, seniority mismatch or overqualification

This is about how LinkedIn behaves in practice, not how it’s supposed to work in theory.


What you’ll get from the review

You’ll receive a personalised, on‑screen video review of your LinkedIn profile, where I talk you through it section by section, explaining what recruiters actually see, what’s working in your favour, and where visibility or positioning issues are creeping in.

Alongside the video, you’ll also receive written notes summarising the key recommendations, so you can make changes clearly and confidently without trying to hold everything in your head.

Once you purchase, you’ll receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to send me your LinkedIn profile link, along with the option to include any background information you feel is relevant. That might include the types of roles you’re targeting, recent rejections, or concerns about how you’re coming across.

You’ll receive your completed review within five working days of me receiving your profile details.

This service does not include a consultation call. It’s designed to give you focused, actionable feedback you can apply directly, without turning it into a longer coaching process.

The review covers:

  • how your profile appears in recruiter search

  • whether your headline and summary anchor your seniority clearly

  • how well your experience supports your target roles

  • visibility and keyword issues that affect discovery

  • common LinkedIn mistakes senior candidates don’t realise they’re making

I don’t rewrite your profile for you. Instead, I explain what needs to change and why, so the logic makes sense and you can apply it properly.


How this is different from standard LinkedIn optimisation

Most LinkedIn advice focuses on posting more, personal branding or chasing engagement. That’s rarely what drives senior hiring decisions.

At senior level, LinkedIn is primarily a sourcing and screening tool. This review focuses on how your profile functions inside that system, how it appears to recruiters, and whether it supports or undermines your job search.


How much does it cost

The LinkedIn profile review is priced at £125.

This includes a personalised video review, written summary notes, and a turnaround of within five working days from receiving your profile details.

This is a one‑off review, not a subscription, and it does not include a consultation call.


Call to action
