Recruiters are searching LinkedIn for potential candidates using keyword searches. Your job is to make it easier for these people to find you by adding the most relevant keywords for your industry to various sections of your LinkedIn profile.

First determine what the power keywords are for your industry then make sure you add them to your headline, in your summary, in your experience and maybe even in your skills section.
