Turn an executive profile into an inbound magnet

A LinkedIn profile that recruiters actually search for.

Most executive LinkedIn profiles are a wall of adjectives. Recruiters searching for a Development Director or ED filter on specific phrases, past titles, and quantified results. This guide walks you through the fields recruiters actually query, in the order they weight them.

What’s inside

  • Field-by-field rewrite guide for headline, About, and Experience sections
  • The five phrases nonprofit executive recruiters actually search — with substitutes for each
  • A short section on how to signal you're open without broadcasting it to your current board
  • Before/after examples for three role types (ED, Development, Programs)

You may not need this if: You already get more inbound recruiter messages than you want to reply to.
