Episode notes
Skills Drive LinkedIn Search Ranking
- LinkedIn stacks candidates using the skills listed and their endorsements, which impacts search ranking.
- A skill needs at least one endorsement to be counted in LinkedIn's search algorithm.
Example With Nolan And Search Order
- Austin uses a simple example comparing three profiles (you, his son Nolan, and himself) to show how endorsements change search order.
- He highlights that without at least one endorsement a skill won't be factored into search results.
Extract Top Skills From Job Posts
- Collect at least 20 target job descriptions and run them through a skills scanner to find the most frequent skills.
- Target those frequent skills because they cast the widest relevant net for your profile.
