While Your Boost Runs
What should I fix on my profile before boosting?
A boost sends more recruiters to the profile you already have. Complete your photo, resume, current role and skills first, so the extra views land on something worth reading.
Before you pay, check
- A real profile photo, not the default avatar. The AI headshot tool can make one.
- A readable, up to date resume on your profile.
- Your current or most recent role and company filled in.
- The skills you actually want to be found for.
- A working phone number and email, so a recruiter can reach you.
- The roles and locations you are open to.
Quick way to tighten it up
- Scan your resume
Run it through the resume scanner and fix what it flags.
- Update your profile
Open your profile and fill in anything that is blank.
- Then buy the boost
Go to Profile Boost once the profile is in shape.
