To ensure you’re accessing these opportunities, your profile needs to optimised for maximum visibility to hiring managers and recruiters.

Our Contract Team Lead Lee Barham talks us through how to improve your contractor personal profile for optimal visibility:

“The importance of a strong personal profile for contractors cannot be understated.

It helps you to stand out from the crowd and shows potential businesses that you’re:

A self starter
Driven
Detail-focussed
Up for the challenge
Engaged in the opportunity

Ensuring your personal profile is optimised for maximum visibility to recruiters and hiring managers alike is key to you achieving this.

Contractors should ensure that all relevant technical keywords are present, relevant and correct across your online profiles and CV.

Doing this means that hiring managers and recruiters will find your profile far quicker when sourcing candidates for relevant job opportunities.

On top of this, make sure your previous experience, personal statement and contact details are all up-to-date! This will make the recruitment process for you far quicker, giving you the edge over other candidates.

If you want to really increase your visibility to recruiters, one of the best ways of doing this is to put out content.

Contractors who start conversations on LinkedIn and other business-focussed media platforms show their passion for their niche and their personality better than those who don’t. It also means you’re literally putting your profile in front of more people, as these platforms offer you organic reach to more potential businesses and recruiters.

All of these things are going to help you as a contractor reach more clients and recruiters, as well as speeding up your hiring process and receiving more, relevant cloud contract opportunities.”
