– Why Keywords Matter?

Direct Hire Companies Have HR’s, Recruiters and Head Hunters. One of their job role is find qualified candidates, reach out to them and ask them if they like to apply for jobs in their company.

They can’t find you, if your profile is not optimized for a specific keywords. Here’s an email from a recruiter I received in my Inbox.

So, keywords matter a lot and don’t stuff your Linked with multiple keywords. You may not show-up in the search results.
